Michael Owen has called on Mikel Arteta to restore Viktor Gyokeres to the starting lineup when Arsenal face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on Saturday.

The Gunners go into the showpiece event on the back of a remarkable domestic season, having clinched their first league title in 22 years last weekend. Now they have the opportunity to complete a historic double in what is the club's first Champions League final in two decades.

Arsenal overcame Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals to reach the final, and have gone through the entire competition unbeaten this campaign. Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, are the slight favourites — having defended their title with a dominant victory over Inter last season in Munich — though Luis Enrique's side did eliminate Arsenal at the same semi-final stage a year ago.

Gyokeres' case for a starting place

The 27-year-old Swede was influential in Arsenal's semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid, netting in the first leg in Madrid before earning the man-of-the-match award in the second leg at the Emirates. Despite that form, Gyokeres was named among the substitutes for Arsenal's final two league fixtures against Burnley and Crystal Palace.
