Overview
- Arsenal host Bayern Munich at the Emirates on Wednesday evening in the Champions League.
- Mikel Arteta lauded Vincent Kompany’s coaching qualities from their time together at Manchester City, and Kompany returned the compliment.
- Bayern arrive in prolific form under Kompany after last season’s 99-goal title win and a perfect Champions League group record this season.
- Arsenal have yet to concede in this Champions League campaign and come off a 4-1 derby win, though Viktor Gyokeres is expected to miss out with repeat scans planned for him and Kai Havertz as Martin Odegaard is tipped to return.
- Arteta described the upcoming run as “ruthless,” with Bayern followed by Chelsea within six days, while Bayern also contend with injuries to Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies.
