Key Factors
Bayern München is currently averaging an extraordinary 4.40 goals per home match, including a recent 7-0 victory at the Allianz Arena.
Arsenal faces a significant tactical disadvantage with the confirmed absence of Kai Havertz (muscle injury) and Christos Tzolis (hamstring), forcing a reliance on Viktor Gyökeres who is reportedly struggling to adapt.
The match serves as a high-stakes 'revenge' fixture for Bayern after their 3-1 loss to Arsenal in late 2025, with both teams currently level on 3 points in the group.
Injuries & Absentees
Arsenal is severely hit by the loss of Kai Havertz (muscular injury, Oct 9) and Christos Tzolis (hamstring, Oct 9), stripping them of their most fluid attacking link. While Viktor Gyökeres is available, reports from Oct 10 suggest he is currently benched or unsettled. Bayern's Jamal Musiala is a doubt (muscle injury, Oct 8) but they have significant depth with Luis Díaz and Ismael Saibari returning to full fitness.
