Arsenal travel to the Allianz Arena tonight for a Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, seeking to extend their perfect start to the competition's league phase.
The Gunners have won their opening two matches, including a 3-0 victory over Lille in which they scored three goals in seven minutes. Bayern, meanwhile, were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw away to Viking FK last week, dropping points after a late twist in their second European outing.
Vincent Kompany's side will be determined to respond on home soil, although they face a difficult challenge against an Arsenal team that has started the competition strongly.

Team news
Bayern Munich will be without Michael Olise, who is suspended after being sent off for two bookable offences against Viking FK last time out. The Frenchman took part in training on Tuesday but cannot feature against Arsenal.
Jamal Musiala is also ruled out with a thigh injury, while goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is a doubt with a foot problem. Kim Min-jae is listed as a doubt ahead of the game, while Joshua Kimmich will miss the match following the passing of his father.
Harry Kane is expected to lead the Bayern attack, with the England captain providing a major threat against an Arsenal defence that has impressed in Europe so far this season.
Arsenal have their own absentees to contend with. William Saliba is ruled out with a back problem, while Piero Hincapie is unavailable because of an ankle injury. Christos Tzolis is also listed among the absentees with a hamstring issue. There are no further doubts listed for the Gunners ahead of the trip to Germany.
Arteta will hope his side can maintain their defensive solidity while continuing to threaten in attack, having scored three times in their win over Lille.
Bayern's home record and attacking quality will make them dangerous opponents, but Arsenal will see the fixture as an opportunity to strengthen their position in the Champions League league phase and make another statement against one of Europe's traditional powerhouses.
