Arsenal's Set Pieces Key Against PSG in UCL Final

Paul Merson believes Arsenal's physical advantage gives them the edge against PSG in Saturday's Champions League final in Budapest. The former England midfielder claims PSG's smaller physique makes them vulnerable to corners and free-kicks.

'I think they've got a chance, especially with the way they do set-plays,' Merson said. 'Anytime they get a set-piece will be like a penalty because PSG are a small team, they're a good team but they're a small team.'

This clashes with Wenger's prediction that Arsenal would win, while Arteta expressed confidence in his team's chances. Barcelona is also reportedly interested in signing Arsenal's Anthony Gordon.

Arsenal fans should watch closely at set piece opportunities - if Merson's analysis is correct, these could be the decisive moments in their first European title bid since 2006.
