"Arsenal and Bayern Munich, the two teams sitting on maximum points after four Champions League matchdays, meet at the Emirates on Wednesday night. Arsenal come into the game buoyed by a dominant 4-1 win over rivals Tottenham, where Eberechi Eze delivered the first hat-trick ever scored in a Premier League North London derby. Arteta's team sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League and have mirrored that authority in Europe."
"The Gunners have also built an imposing home record in the competition. They have won 15 straight Champions League league-phase or group-stage fixtures at the Emirates, but this meeting represents their most challenging test yet. Bayern arrive with a perfect European record of their own, though their route has been more chaotic. A 2-1 win over PSG in Paris on matchday four showed their strengths, even if Luis Diaz's red card late in the first half complicates their selection for this match."
Both Arsenal and Bayern Munich sit on maximum Champions League points after four matchdays and meet at the Emirates. Arsenal won 4-1 over Tottenham with Eberechi Eze scoring the first Premier League North London derby hat-trick, sit six points clear in the Premier League, and have won all four Champions League matches, scoring 11 goals without conceding. Arsenal have won 15 straight Champions League group-stage fixtures at the Emirates but face a stern test against Bayern. Bayern also have a perfect European record, recorded a 2-1 win over PSG and overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Freiburg 6-2, though Luis Diaz's red card complicates selection. Recent history favors Bayern across five matches without defeat and a 3-2 aggregate win in the 2023-24 quarter-finals. Arsenal's team news includes returns for Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli while Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Odegaard remain doubtful and Gabriel Magalhaes is sidelined with a hamstring issue.
