The Gunners, enjoying being back at Europe’s top table for the first time in seven years, are ready to heal some old wounds against the German giants, who beat them 10-2 on aggregate the last time they met.

But this appears to be a weaker Bayern side, despite the £100million addition of Harry Kane, as they are set to miss out on the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 seasons, having already missed out on the Super Cup and the DFB-Pokal.

This is Bayern’s last hope of an unimaginable trophyless season, and could be Arsenal’s next step up a remarkable double.

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich team news

Arsenal will have Bukayo Saka fit again after the winger shook off a muscle injury to start, and score, against Brighton. Both Gabriel Magalhaes and Jorginho required on-pitch treatment during the 3-0 win, but came through the game unscathed.

Arteta’s main selection calls come at left-back, between Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu, and in attack where Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli are competing to start.

Bayern Munich could be without eight players for the trip to London. Sacha Boey (hamstring), Bouna Sarr (knee) and Tarek Buchmann (muscle) have already been ruled out.

All five of Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, Noussair Mazraoui and Aleksandar Pavlovic returned to training on Monday after being labelled injury doubts. Sane has since confirmed he is fit to feature in at least some capacity.

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich prediction

Arsenal put in a hugely confident performance to beat Brighton, while Bayern head to London having lost back-to-back league games to effectively end their title hopes.

All signs point to a home win and the Gunners picking up a crucial first-leg advantage. Bayern will need to be at their best or could be out of the tie before the second leg.
