Arsenal are not firing on all cylinders and will have to raise their performance levels if they are to get something from their trip to Bayern Munich tonight.
The Gunners ground out a win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday but it was not pretty. They have been better in the Champions League, though, with victories against Napoli and Lille.
Bayern’s European campaign has been more eventful. They hammered Bodø/Glimt 5-0 on matchday one, but they were held 3-3 by Norwegian champions Viking last week in a remarkable game. Bayern went 2-0 down, came back to lead 3-2, and then conceded a late equaliser after Michael Olise was sent off.
Kompany’s side responded in style on Saturday, thrashing RB Leipzig 6-1 in the Bundesliga. They remain unbeaten in all 10 of their games in all competitions this season, and they have scored 25 goals in their last six matches. Bayern have also scored in each of their last 23 Champions League games.
Olise is suspended tonight while Joshua Kimmich misses out due to a family bereavement.
