Bayern Munich

Starting with the hosts, while Bayern Munich might have been left frustrated on foreign soil last week as they were eventually forced to settle for a pulsating 3-3 Champions League stalemate away at Norwegian outfit Viking, Vincent Kompany’s men came roaring back over the weekend. Producing a sensational display as they Allianz as they breezed their way to a 6-1 victory against bitter Bundesliga foes RB Leipzig, the former Burnley boss has seen his superstar squad gain a fearsome reputation from across the continent. Getting their Champions League adventure underway with a routine 5-0 win against Bodo/Glimt on September 10th, Bayern Munich have not tasted a single competitive defeat since their semi-final exit against reigning European champions PSG back in April. Likewise, heading into September’s extended international break with a 7-0 romp against Union Berlin, Kompany’s side hold a fearsome reputation for their clinical displays in the final third.

Shown a dramatic late Champions League red card in Norway last week, French international Michael Olise will miss out through suspension on Wednesday night. Likewise, yet to feature since returning from September’s international break and facing another lengthy stint on the sidelines, German playmaker Jamal Musiala will not play any part here.

Once again shattering a string of records this season and widely regarded as the standout Ballon d’Or contender, England skipper Harry Kane will lead the line in Munich. Bagging a Bundesliga hat-trick against RB Leipzig over the weekend, former Liverpool star Luis Diaz will join Kane in attack.

As for the visitors, while Arsenal might have entered September’s international break with a shock 3-0 drumming away at Brighton, it appears that was just a minor blip for the reigning Premier League champions. Last seen over the weekend snatching a late 1-0 victory away at Nottingham Forest, Mikel Arteta’s men have their sights set on shattering more records this season. Clinching a routine 3-0 win against Lille in north London last week, the Gunners have won 10 of their first 11 appearances across all competitions so far this year. Landing back-to-back Champions League victories, Wednesday’s guests should also be excited by their most recent showdown against Bayern Munich. Claiming a thumping 3-1 win when they welcomed the German giants to the Emirates back in November 2025, last season’s Champions League finalists will be dreaming of a repeat display here.

Yet to make a maiden appearance this season after sustaining a long-term back injury while away with France during their World Cup adventure over the summer, William Saliba remains on the sidelines. Likewise, big-money summer recruit Christos Tzolis is still recovering from a hamstring issue and won’t play any part on Wednesday night.

Coming off the bench and bagging a dramatic late winner against Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon, England international Noni Madueke could be handed a full recall. Completing a big-money summer switch from Newcastle, Bruno Guimaraes should keep his spot alongside Declan Rice.

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Key Factors to Consider

• When Bayern Munich and Arsenal last met for a Champions League showdown back in November 2025, the Gunners claimed a 3-1 victory in north London.
• However, that is the only win that Arteta’s side have claimed from their previous six competitive meetings against Wednesday’s hosts.
• Bayern Munich have won each of their first four matchups at the Allianz across all competitions this season by an aggregate score of 23-2.
• Including back-to-back Champions League victories, Arsenal have won 10 of their first 11 appearances across all competitions.
• England skipper Harry Kane has already notched 22 direct goal contributions for club and country so far this season (15 goals, seven assists).

In what is a blockbuster Champions League showdown on Wednesday night, all eyes will certainly fall on the Allianz in midweek. While the Gunners might have clinched a 3-1 victory when they welcomed Bayern Munich to north London for a group stage battle last season, Arsenal will be more than aware that they face a stern examination on foreign soil. Two European giants who are widely regarded as standout title contenders this year, neutrals will be hoping for a thriller from the Allianz.
