Competition: Champions League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)
Arsenal have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes for this evening's Champions League game against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger names his big guns with Olivier Giroud the central striker, supported by Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Joel Campbell. Santi Cazorla will aim to control the game from midfield, while Francis Coquelin looks to win the ball when it is lost.
Per Mertesacker and Gabriel Paulista form the central defensive pairing, with Laurent Koscielny on the bench due to a minor hip problem. Also on the bench are youngsters Alex Iwobi and Jeff Reine-Adelaide.
Arsenal head into the match boosted by the knowledge they beat Bayern Munich 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the reverse fixture. However, defeating the German champions at the Allianz Arena may be a considerably tougher task.
