Arsenal takes its perfect Champions League record and thinned back line to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, Oct. 21 for a clash with Bayern Munich.
The Gunners are second in the Premier League after winning four of their last five league matches. Sunday's narrow 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest gave them 10 wins in 11 games across all competitions.
Mikel Arteta is without William Saliba, Piero Hincapie and Christos Tzolis but Martin Zubimendi has been cleared to return from an ankle problem.
Here is how Arsenal could line up against Bayern Munich:
Arsenal predicted lineup vs. Bayern Munich
- Goalkeeper: Raya
- Defense: White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori
- Midfield: Rice, Lewis-Skelly
- Attacking midfield: Saka, Ødegaard, Madueke
- Forward: Havertz
Saliba's absence leaves Ezri Konsa alongside Gabriel in central defense. With Zubimendi just returning, Myles Lewis-Skelly could keep his place next to Declan Rice in midfield.
