Bayern Munich will face some challenges with their lineup due to injuries and a suspension. Kingsley Coman is sidelined due to a leg muscle injury he incurred over the weekend. Additionally, Serge Gnabry is unavailable because of an injury sustained during the match in North London, and both Sacha Boey and Bouna Sarr are also out with injuries.
While Manuel Neuer was rested during the match against Koln following a muscle complaint, he is anticipated to be fit for the upcoming game. However, Alphonso Davies will miss the game due to a suspension, leading to Noussair Mazraoui likely stepping in as the left-back.
Serge Gnabry and Alphonso Davies will not be available because of suspension.
Predicted Lineup: Neur, Kim, Upamecano, Kimmich, Mazraoui, Goretzka, Pavlovic, Muller, Musiala, Sane, Kane
Arsenal has a notable history against Bayern Munich, having secured their only away victory at Bayern in 2013, thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny during the last-16 tie. Despite the win, Arsenal was eliminated on away goals. Historically, Bayern Munich has dominated with seven wins compared to Arsenal's three, along with three draws.
For the upcoming match, Arsenal is dealing with an injury concern involving Martin Odegaard, who had to leave the game against Aston Villa prematurely. Jurrien Timber is still not ready for a full match, but other than that, Mikel Arteta has a fully available squad.
Changes in the lineup might see Gabriel Martinelli and Jorginho returning, with Kai Havertz potentially being shifted back to a forward position.
Partey might replace Odegaard in the playing XI as Arsenal captain sustained an injury on Sunday.
Predicted Lineup: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Partey, Jorginho, Rice, Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.
Bayern Munich, playing at home, will have the advantage of familiar territory and home crowd support. Despite missing key players like Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, and Alphonso Davies, they have depth in their squad. Arsenal, on the other hand, have their work cut out.
Although they have a good young squad the possible return of Gabriel Martinelli and Jorginho might provide the necessary boost. The match could either be a high-scoring affair or a tactical deadlock. A reasonable prediction might be a narrow win for Bayern Munich.
