Arsenal vs Bayern Munich team news

Arsenal
Bukayo Saka should be fit after suffering a knock at Brighton so Jurrien Timber is likely to be the Gunners' only absentee. Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior are competing for a start at left-back.

Bayern Munich
Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman are available after recovering from injuries and centre-back Dayot Upamecano returns from a European ban. Noussair Mazraoui and Aleksandar Pavlovic are also in the squad but Bouna Sarr and Sacha Boey remain sidelined.

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich predictions

A Champions League knockout tie against Bayern Munich with Harry Kane leading the line might be a nightmarish vision for Arsenal supporters but the Gunners have already exorcised plenty of demons this season and could claim a key victory.

Mikel Arteta's men put last term's Premier League title-race disappointment behind them and are back on top of the table with seven games to go.

They beat Manchester City 1-0 in October, having lost their previous 12 league fixtures against the champions, and last month's 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium ended City's 57-game scoring streak on home turf.

Arsenal have also cleared some significant psychological barriers in their first Champions League campaign since 2016-17. 

They topped their group, beating PSV 4-0, Sevilla 2-0 and Lens 6-0 at home, and edged past a streetwise Porto side on penalties after a tense 1-1 aggregate draw in the round of 16.

That shootout success was a huge boost to the Gunners, who had suffered last-16 exits in their previous seven Champions League tilts, culminating in a 10-2 aggregate demolition by Bayern in 2016-17.

The German juggernauts ended Arsenal's European run three times in five years between 2013 and 2017 and Tottenham legend Kane is the record goalscorer in north London derbies, netting 14 times in 19 appearances against the Gunners.

However, a steely young Arsenal squad should not be haunted by past beatings by Bayern, who are in desperate form despite Kane's prolific first season in Bavaria.

Bayer Leverkusen, 50-1 shots in the ante-post Bundesliga betting, are 16 points clear in the title race after injury-hit Bayern surrendered a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at Heidenheim at the weekend.

That was Bayern's fourth defeat in eight league games, including a 2-0 home loss to Borussia Dortmund on March 30, and they also lost 1-0 away to Lazio in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Arsenal have won all four of their home Champions League games to nil and have conceded only two goals in their last eight league matches – one of them stemming from a howler by reserve goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale against Brentford.

They have been leading at half-time and full-time in six of those eight league fixtures and another fast start would turn up the heat on struggling Bayern and their coach Thomas Tuchel, who is leaving at the end of the season.

Arsenal have flown out of the traps in three recent meetings with Liverpool, scoring in the fourth and 14th minutes of their league fixtures against the Reds and having 13 shots in the first half of January's FA Cup tie.

The Gunners have scored ten first-half goals in four Champions League home games and a similarly bold approach could pay off as Tuchel's Bayern are a shadow of the behemoth who used to torment Arsenal in Europe.
