Arsenal vs Bayern Munich LIVE!
Arsenal take on Bayern Munich tonight as a massive week in the Champions League continues. After Chelsea cruised past Barcelona on Tuesday, the Gunners are hoping to make a similar statement in another heavyweight league phase fixture at the Emirates Stadium that sees arguably Europe’s two best teams this season lock horns. Mikel Arteta’s side now have a six-point lead at the Premier League summit after thrashing Tottenham in the north London derby and also boast a 100 per cent record on the continent, brushing aside the likes of Atletico Madrid.
But this evening they meet their equals in Bayern, who have the same advantage at the top of the Bundesliga and have also won all four of their Champions League games to date this term, beating holders PSG in Paris last time out despite going down to 10 men before half-time. Arsenal will hope to have captain Martin Odegaard back from injury, though they remain without the services of star striker Viktor Gyokeres.

Arteta: Bayern clash is ‘great’ test to see where Arsenal are
Both sides could have hardly enjoyed better preparation for tonight’s huge game, with Arsenal demolishing arch-rivals Tottenham 4-1 in the north London derby on Sunday thanks to Eberechi Eze’s stylish hat-trick and Bayern smashing Freiburg 6-2 in the Bundesliga.
Mikel Arteta wants to see more of the same in what he believes will be a real opportunity and chance to show just how far his side have come.
“We have to make sure that we carry that energy tomorrow again to the stadium, to each individual and play with the same dominance, aggression, and efficiency against a top side,” he said.
“This is the kind of game in the competition that we want to face and we’ve been very consistent.
“They have been as well and tomorrow is a great test for us to see where we are.
“Every opponent brings different challenges. Obviously they are in a great moment.
“The level of consistency they show in results, performances, in every metric that they have is very, very impressive. We know that.
“But as well it’s a massive opportunity for us to show what we are capable of.”

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich prediction
Arguably the two best teams in Europe at the moment collide in what is an enormous game at the Emirates.
It is so hard to pick between Arsenal and Bayern, who have both been so dominant so far this season both at home and in Europe, scoring plenty of goals and conceding very few.
Bayern may previously have had the psychological edge given some of the humblings they have dished out in this fixture over the years, but this is a different Gunners team now with a far tougher mentality and resolve, not to mention their greatly improved quality and strength in depth under Arteta.
We anticipate an entertaining back-and-forth tussle not short on goalmouth action in which momentum swings sharply and frequently, resulting in a hard-fought share of the spoils and Harry Kane inevitably getting on the scoresheet at least once.
Draw, 2-2.

Bayern Munich team news: Luis Diaz suspended
Bayern are without Luis Diaz, with the former Liverpool forward handed a three-match ban by UEFA following his tackle on Achraf Hakimi that saw him sent off after he had scored both goals in a statement 2-1 win over Champions League holders PSG in Paris earlier this month.
Ex-Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry and teenage sensation Lennart Karl both look to be fit after respective knocks as Vincent Kompany weighs up who best to replace Diaz in attack alongside the prolific Harry Kane and Michael Olise.
Joshua Kimmich and Hiroki Ito were both involved in the 6-2 thrashing of Freiburg in the Bundesliga at the weekend, while captain Manuel Neuer started after illness.
Bayern are still missing Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies as they continue to ramp things up after serious injury.

Arsenal team news: Late Odegaard decision
Arsenal will hope that Martin Odegaard can play some part in tonight’s game, with manager Mikel Arteta saying at yesterday’s pre-match press conference that they would have a meeting to decide the status of their influential captain after he was deemed not quite fit enough in the end to be involved in Sunday’s 4-1 demolition of Tottenham in a one-sided north London derby.
Odegaard has not played since the win over West Ham in early October after suffering knee ligament damage on his return from a persistent shoulder injury.
This game comes too early for Viktor Gyokeres (hamstring) and Kai Havertz (knee), though Arteta is hopeful that the attacking duo will be in contention for another huge showdown with Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
Arsenal were expected to find out after another scan today a clearer time frame for Gabriel’s return from an adductor injury suffered playing for Brazil, with the centre-back set to miss a period of weeks.
Riccardo Calafiori shook off a hip issue to start against Spurs, while Noni Madueke came off the bench and Gabriel Martinelli was also included in the matchday squad after injury.
Gabriel Jesus is training fully after an anterior cruciate ligament rupture that has kept him out since January, though Arsenal plan to ease him back into action with a behind-closed-doors friendly and he isn’t eligible for the league phase of the Champions League anyway

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich live
Hello and welcome to Standard Sport’s live coverage of Arsenal vs Bayern Munich as a massive week of heavyweight clashes in the Champions League continues.

Here’s the latest Arsenal injury update and expected return dates ahead of their Premier League clash with Brentford
Arsenal injury, suspension list and return dates for Brentford: Leandro Trossard, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka latest
Arsenal will aim, at the very least, to preserve their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to Brentford for Thursday night’s London derby.
Mikel Arteta’s men head into the contest with renewed momentum, having won four matches in all competitions since a painful 3–2 defeat to Michael Carrick’s resurgent Manchester United.
The Gunners’s most recent success came on Saturday at the Emirates, where they eased to a 3–0 victory over Sunderland, though that win did not arrive without concern, as the league leaders are now sweating over the fitness of one of their key attackers, potentially adding to an already busy treatment room.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Brentford, who secured a thrilling 3–2 win at Newcastle United in their most recent outing.
Status: Doubt
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown
Leandro Trossard was forced off during Saturday’s win over Sunderland, and there has yet to be an official update on the 31-year-old’s condition, though he is expected to be assessed ahead of Thursday’s trip to Brentford.
Status: Out
Type of injury: Hip
Possible return date: February 22 (vs Tottenham)
Bukayo Saka has now missed Arsenal’s last three matches with a hip issue after withdrawing in the warm-up against Leeds United, and he is unlikely to return for Thursday’s encounter, with the North London derby pencilled in as a more realistic comeback date.
Status: Doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: February 12 (vs Brentford)
After appearing from the bench against Leeds, captain Martin Odegaard has since missed two consecutive games, though Arteta has hinted that the midfielder could be back within days, so a return here is possible, albeit far from certain.
Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: Unspecified
Mikel Merino recently confirmed via social media that he underwent successful foot surgery, an issue expected to sideline him for a prolonged period, potentially until the closing stages of the season.
Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: February 22 (vs Tottenham)
Teenage prospect Max Dowman has been out with an ankle problem since December, with Arteta recently suggesting the 16-year-old is only a few weeks away from full recovery.
ARSENAL’S SUSPENSION LIST
Arsenal have no players suspended for Thursday’s visit to Brentford.

Bayern Munich keen on signing Arsenal star who has been ‘massive’ for Mikel Arteta of late Transfers
Bayern Munich keen on signing Arsenal star who has been ‘massive’ for Mikel Arteta of late
Scarlet VazScarlet Vaz8 February 2026
German giants Bayern Munich are looking to make moves in the upcoming transfer window. They are keeping a close eye on Arsenal’s Kai Havertz.
Kai Havertz has lost his place in Mikel Arteta’s starting eleven and has been replaced by Viktor Gyokeres. Looking at these dynamics, Bayern Munich is heading to take advantage of this situation.
Havertz’s reduced game-time and a shift to the midfield rather than his natural striker position give the German club a brilliant chance to make a bid for him.
According to Fichajes, Bayern are looking to sign the 26-year-old, believing he will bring versatility and serve as a cover for Harry Kane.
Arsenal have seen how well Havertz has grown into Mikel Arteta’s team, and the fans love him; however, the huge sum they could receive for the striker may be tempting for the Gunners.
Kai Havertz is ready to leave the Emirates
Arsenal are having an exceptional season, topping the Premier League table as well as the UEFA Champions League table. Additionally, they made it to the Carabao Cup final after an ecstatic 4-2 aggregate win against Chelsea, with the goal in the second leg scored by Havertz itself.
The 26-year-old striker, who some feel has had a ‘massive‘ impact for Arteta since his return from injury came to the Emirates in 2023 from Chelsea. He was a key player for the Blues and became Arsenal’s first-choice striker immediately after his transfer, replacing Gabriel Jesus.
With Havertz’s present contract set to end in 2028, a move to Bayern for a regular starting position seems suitable. The Bavarian squad is reportedly preparing a significant cash offer to persuade Arsenal to part ways. However, Arsenal’s take on this deal remains unclear.

Viktor Gyokeres‘ form has been incredible in recent weeks. He has made crucial contributions to the team and has scored 4 goals in their last 5 games in all competitions.
Although it took him some time to find his place in the team, his improvement has been clearly visible. The fans believe they could see a lot more from him in the season ahead and in the years to come.
The Gunners face Brentford at home in a league game, and it seems like a brilliant opportunity for the Swedish forward to increase his goal tally.
