14 goals scored already &#8211; but Arsenal boast the competition\u2019s last remaining spotless defence, having kept a clean sheet in all four of their wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Emirates has become a real fortress and one where Arsenal have won 15 straight European league\/group stage games in front of their own fans &#8211;

the longest active run among English sides &#8211; which includes their recent 1\u20130 victory over Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That match was decided by Alexis Mac Allister, whose headed goal was Liverpool\u2019s 499th goal in European Cup\/Champions League history. Their next will mark a major milestone: goal number 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, out-of-form Mo Salah will be hoping to get his name back on the scoresheet as he closes in on becoming the first African player to score 50 Champions League goals; he\u2019s currently on 48.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1381840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-356x200.jpg 356w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-107x60.jpg 107w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP-40x23.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/30173131\/1381292_1381292_Ousmanedembele30042025_ID3B3PKRP.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-goals-on-the-cards-in-paris\"><strong>Goals on the cards in Paris<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>PSG haven\u2019t been involved in a goalless draw in their last 104 successive UEFA competition matches.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>PSG\u2019s surprise home defeat to Bayern Munich in their last Champions League outing could spell trouble for an inconsistent Tottenham, with the defending champions likely to come out firing in Paris as they look to bounce back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remarkably, PSG have gone 104 matches in UEFA competition without a goalless draw, a streak that dates back to the 2015\/16 season when they drew 0-0 against Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luis Enrique\u2019s side will certainly fancy their chances of scoring against a wounded Spurs side still reeling from a heavy 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/champions-league-tips\/\"><strong>Champions League predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/champions-league-outright-odds-qualification\/\"><strong>Champions League outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We venture into the fifth wave of Champions League league phase games this week with all six Premier League clubs in action across Tuesday and Wednesday.
