Three weeks after facing PSG, the German team is set for another challenging away match tonight at Emirates Stadium against Arsenal. Both teams come into this match as leaders in their respective leagues, with Arsenal winning all four of their matches without conceding a single goal. A win tonight could significantly boost their chances of making it to the top eight.
Despite key absences (Gabriel, Gyökeres, Havertz, Jesus), the Gunners showcased their quality with a decisive 4-1 victory over Tottenham on Sunday. Mikel Arteta sticks with a similar lineup, making only two changes: Lewis-Skelly replaces Calafiori at left-back, and Mosquera comes in for Hincapié alongside Saliba in defense. Captain Odegaard returns to the squad but will start from the bench.
Vincent Kompany also implements three changes to his side, just four days after a solid win against Freiburg (6-2). Laimer returns to the right flank, shifting Stanisic to the left. Kimmich takes over from Goretzka in midfield, while Gnabry fills in for Luis Diaz, who is suspended after a red card in Paris. The promising 17-year-old Karl continues to impress in the playmaker role.
Official Lineups:
Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Raya – Timber, Saliba, Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly – Zubimendi, Rice – Saka (cap.), Eze, Trossard – Merino.
Bayern (4-2-3-1): Neuer (cap.) – Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Stanisic – Kimmich, Pavlovic – Olise, Karl, Gnabry – Kane.
