Bayern Munich team news
Michael Olise was sent off against Viking for a petulant challenge before throwing the ball at his opponent. He will now serve a one-match suspension and miss this game against Arsenal. It is likely that 18-year-old Lennart Karl will replace Olise for this game.
Jamal Musiala is also a doubt due to his ongoing thigh problem, while defender Kim Min-jae is also likely to miss this game after he was forced off with an injury in the 77th minute of the Leipzig victory.
Manuel Neuer sat out on the weekend with a foot issue but is expected to return on Wednesday.
