Arsenal and Bayern Munich renew their long-standing Champions League rivalry tonight, with the Gunners looking to improve a poor away record at the Allianz Arena. The match is available to watch on TNT Sports 1 in the UK, with coverage starting at 7pm BST ahead of the 8pm kick-off.
How to Watch and Stream the Match
TNT Sports 1 is the exclusive UK broadcaster for the game. TNT subscribers can also stream the match live on the HBO Max app and website. Standard Sport will provide live coverage through its LIVE blog, featuring expert analysis from Matt Verri.
The two sides have met 15 times in the Champions League, with no goalless draw in any of those encounters. Arsenal's most recent visit to Munich ended in a 1-0 defeat, which saw them exit the competition at the quarter-final stage during the 2023-24 season.
Team News and Key Absence
Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise is suspended for tonight's game after being sent off for two bookable offences in last week's league phase match away at Viking. Olise took part in training on Tuesday but will not feature.
The hosts still possess significant attacking threat, most notably through former Tottenham striker Harry Kane, who could test Arsenal's clean sheet record in the competition so far this season.
Head-to-Head History
Of Arsenal's four wins over Bayern, only one has come in Munich - a 2-0 success in the round of 16 second leg in March 2013, which was not enough to advance due to the away goals rule. The Gunners have also suffered heavy defeats in Germany, including back-to-back 5-1 losses in November 2015 and February 2017.
Last season's league phase meeting between the sides went Arsenal's way at the Emirates Stadium. Tonight's stakes are lower than usual given the new league phase format, but Bayern will be eager to bounce back from dropping points away at Viking last week.
