Bayern Munich host Arsenal in a Champions League blockbuster and an early meeting of two sides who will be looking to go all the way in Europe this season.
The Gunners suffered heartbreak against Paris Saint-Germain in last season’s final but made a step further than the German champions, who were knocked out by the eventual winners in an epic semi-final.
Arsenal managed just one shot on target in their 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday with the Premier League champions coming under some criticism for the style of their attack under Mikel Arteta this season.
But Arsenal are yet to concede a goal in the Champions League this term and will put their formidable defence up against Bayern’s free-scoring attack. Harry Kane will look to add to his 15 career goals against Arsenal, although Michael Olise is suspended.
Follow the latest updates from Bayern Munich v Arsenal, below
Bayern 0-1 Arsenal
30’ – Another big chance for Arsenal from a deep Odegaard corner. This one is met by Guimaraes but he is unable to direct a great opportunity on target, shinning the ball over.
Eze’s turnaround
Remarkable few days for Eze, taken off at half-time at Forest, dropped and now scoring a fine goal against Bayern
GOAL! Bayern 0-1 Arsenal (Eze 25)
And it’s given. The sub has Arsenal in front having kept a whisker onside. He shows great composure to finish after Odegaard’s pass teed him up.
Bayern 0-0 Arsenal
25’ – Eze thinks he has Arsenal in front with a first-time finish on his right after springing past Bayern’s high line. The offside flag is immediately up … but VAR is having a look and Stanisic is close to playing him on.
Bayern 0-0 Arsenal
23’ – Kane finds Saibari with a delicious diagonal pass over the top but the latter can’t control cleanly when in a great position.
Bayern 0-0 Arsenal
21’ – Bayern then go up the other end, Gnabry purchases some space on the right and gets a nice, low shot away. Raya makes a decent save. A sense of liveliness at last.
Bayern 0-0 Arsenal
20’ – Timber earns a corner via Stanisic, who is busy with Arsenal targeting their right flank. Odegaard’s inswinger evades Neuer’s reach but Calafiori smashes offside from the back stick.
Bayern 0-0 Arsenal
17’ – It’s been tepid enough so far but Davies injects some pace into proceedings, shifting into the box from the left before Gabriel does well to shepherd him out of play.
Front three questions
A front three of Madueke, Havertz and Eze does not really sound Champions League-winning. That is what Arsenal have now Saka is off. Though with Diaz benched and Olise suspended Bayern have less stardust in their forward line tonight
