Injury news

The decision by Arsène Wenger to start David Ospina in goal in the Olympiakos defeat caused controversy, but the Spaniard is currently injured so Petr Cech should get the gig.

Franck Ribery and Mario Götze are out for Bayern Munich but Robert Lewandowski is thought to be fit.

History

Arsenal have won just 1 of the teams’ 6 previous meetings but have drawn 2.

Arsenal’s victory against the German team was a 2-0 victory at the Allianz Arena in 2013.

Bayern Munich won all of their first 9 matches in the Bundesliga but Arsenal have won 3 games in a row in the Premier League.
