Mikel Arteta has confirmed his Arsenal team as they face their biggest test of the league phase so far by traveling to Germany to face Bayern München this evening.
The Gunners are aiming to go one better after losing on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in last year's UEFA Champions League final and they have started the league phase with back-to-back wins against Napoli and Lille.
Winning at Bayern München would extend Arsenal's league phase winning streak to an incredible 15 games and be a real statement to the rest of Europe.
The hosts, led by talisman Harry Kane, have been free scoring so far in 2026/27 and opened their European campaign with a 5-0 victory over Bodø/Glimt, but did drop two points when they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Viking last weekend.
As far as team news for the Premier League champions is concerned, Jurrien Timber has come in at right-back for Ben White after being on the bench for the late victory at Nottingham Forest.
Midfielder Martin Zubimendi has returned and is fit enough for a start on the bench but Piero Hincapie, William Saliba and Christos Tzolis remain out with injury.
Striker Viktor Gyokeres has started the previous two UEFA Champions League games but has been replaced by Kai Havertz.
