It's that familiar pre- Champions League group stages feeling for Arsenal fans today as they wait for their latest assault on the trophy.

The Gunners fans will be hoping for a serious run in the competition this time around instead of the fluffing of lines in the groups that has led them to getting knocked out in the round of 16 for the last few years.

The London club are in a group with PSG, Ludogorets and FC Basel this season and on the face of it, it looks a straight shoot-out between them and the French Champions for the top spot in the table.

FC Basel may have something to say about that but the Gunners know that tonight's game in the French capital arguably will decide where they could end up after match week six and therefore a big performance is needed.

It's time Arsenal came of age in Europe then, and certainly, some of their players did too.

With this in mind, we're bringing you the three players Arsene Wenger needs a performance from tonight in the Parc des Princes...

Olivier Giroud

The Frenchman doesn't have long left to prove he can be world class. At EURO 2016 he looked a real force up front for France but until he cuts out that ability to go missing for games on end he can't be considered top drawer. After the transfer

After the transfer window, Arsene Wenger needs him to prove he was right in not buying a top striker and it's games like this that present the perfect opportunity. Over to you, Olivier.

Mesut Ozil

Some Arsenal fans would have you believe this guy is the third best player in the world behind Messi and Ronaldo and whilst his world class talent cannot be ignored, he still needs to prove himself for the Gunners in this competition. In full

In full flight, the German is a class player make no mistake but the club need him to do it on these stages more often, starting tonight.

Granit Xhaka

Presumably, Xhaka was bought with the idea he'd be the final piece in Arsenal's European challenge puzzle.

He provides good cover for the centre-halves and obviously isn't scared to mix it up but he needs to be disciplined if the Gunners are to get a result.

If Marco Verratti plays for PSG we could be in for a real battle in central midfield, one Xhaka simply has to win.
