Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta could make two changes to starting XI for Bayern Munich showdown

Arsenal have not won the Premier League since 2004 and they have never, in the history of the club, been crowned European champions. Arteta has the chance to break both ducks over the coming weeks and his side are in scintillating form.

Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard scored in a 3-0 win at Brighton on Saturday, in a game which saw Arsenal notch a fourth clean sheet in a row and avoid defeat for the seventh consecutive match.

Even so, Arteta has two obvious changes to make for Bayern's trip to north London. The German giants are struggling in the Bundesliga, but with Harry Kane well amongst the goals, Arsenal may need all hands on deck.

Gabriel Jesus could be the first to make way. The Brazilian admitted on Monday that he 'cannot remember' the last time he played without pain, having picked up a persistent knee injury at the 2022 World Cup.

Gabriel Martinelli is fit again after being eased back into competitive action, and the Bayern game could be the perfect time to throw him in from the start at Jesus' expense. Elsewhere in the front line, Bukayo Saka is one of the first names on the team sheet and Havertz's spot is presumed safe.

The midfield trio of Declan Rice, Jorginho and Martin Odegaard are also likely to continue the strong on-field relationship they have forged in recent weeks. Thomas Partey is a talented option waiting in the wings, but giving him only a second start since October would surely be a move too bold even for Arteta.
