And he can break the lines with a brave pass, a courageous pass between players.

Zubin Mendy for me is a little bit too safe, a little bit too metronomic for my taste in a game like this.

So obviously playing those passes come with risk and you don't want them cut out.

I remember actually one of his passes was cut out last year

And it led to a sensational counter from PSG.

And it needed Declan Rice to, I think, make a recovery tackle after an 80-yard run, which was unreal from him.

So, like, you have to be careful.

But I think for Arsenal to go out there and grab it,

They will need to play those passes through the line.

So I would go for Lewis Skelly.

I think he's ready.

I think he can handle it.

And what a story it would be, you know, if he was one of Arsenal's star performers in the Champions League final, having spent almost all of the season as Arsenal's third choice left back.

It's been an unbelievable turnaround.

So Lewis Skelly, possibly.

And it hurts me to say it because I love watching Ebrichie Eze and he potentially has a real big part to play in the game.

But I think Arteta has to pick players he trusts out of possession in the match because I think PSG will probably have more of the ball.

And Erdegaard just fits the bill.

For me, Eze's more of a 10 that's closer to a 9 than an 8.

So he plays very high.
