Arsenal and Bayern Munich are set to face off in a Champions League fixture, with both managers confirming their starting lineups. For Arsenal, manager Mikel Arteta has made two changes to the side that secured a 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest. Noni Madueke and Jurriën Timber have been brought into the starting XI, replacing Eberechi Eze and Ben White, who will both begin the match on the bench.

Bayern Munich enters the match with notable personnel changes. Joshua Kimmich is unavailable for selection due to a death in his immediate family. Additionally, Michael Olise is serving a suspension following his dismissal during the previous 3-3 draw against Viking. Harry Kane will lead the Bayern attack, while former Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is listed among the substitutes. The confirmed Bayern lineup includes Neuer, Upamecano, Minjae, Gnabry, Bischof, Kane, Davies, Laimer, Saibari, Stanisic, and Pavlovic. Arsenal’s confirmed starters include Raya, Timber, Konsa, and Gabriel, with further squad details still being finalized as the match approaches.
