**Arsenal travel to Munich on Wednesday night for one of their toughest tests of the season, as they renew their rivalry with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.**
**When the two sides last met at the Emirates, the Gunners won 3-1.**
**Mikel Arteta and his side would love to repeat the feat.**
**To do so, however, they must change the narrative of this fixture. In five away meetings, Arsenal have never beaten Bayern, who have won three of those games, with the other two ending in draws.**
**Bayern are unbeaten in nine games this season and have just thrashed RB Leipzig 6-1, so they arrive in the best shape. For Arsenal, though, that will not matter, because these are the battles they relish.**
**Arteta will be raring to go as he looks to outwit Vincent Kompany and secure a famous win in Munich.**
**Arsenal definitely need the speed of Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres to put the Bayern defenders under pressure, which is why the two start ahead of Eberechi Eze and Kai Havertz.**
**Lewis-Skelly also starts ahead of Bruno Guimarães, bringing some more solidity in midfield and more progressive passing that Arsenal lacked against Nottingham Forest, when Rice played alongside Guimarães. Crucially, Arsenal need to be as direct as possible.**
**To do that, the Arsenal boss must field his strongest line-up, and none could be stronger than:**
**Raya**
**Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori**
**Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard**
**Saka, Gyokeres,** **Madueke**
**Hopefully, that is the line-up Arteta selects against Bayern.**
**That said, Jamal Musiala will miss Bayern's clash with Arsenal on Wednesday night because of a muscle tear. Meanwhile, Michael Olise is suspended, and Manuel Neuer is a doubt, which should give the Gunners a massive boost.**
