WHAT THEY SAID
Arsene Wenger: "What is physical and what is mental in that is always very difficult, and predicting who is tired and not is hard. We are not advanced enough (in our science, I guess, to know that ahead), so I kept them all together.
"PSG are favourites to beat Ludogorets at home and win the group, but we can assess that scoreline at half-time and see where we go."
