Bayern would have been shocked by their trip to Viking, conceding three goals and also have Michael Olise sent off.
The Frenchman is therefore suspended for this one in what is a blow to the Bavarians, while Jamal Musiala is also injured.
Vincent Kompany will have to figure out who will provide the creative speak in his team, but it is not as if they are struggling.
Indeed, Bayern have won all four matches in all competitions this season, scoring at least five goals in each!
As for Arsenal, they have won three in a row across all competitions since their blip at Brighton & Hove Albion before the international break, where they lost 3-0 in the Premier League.
That is 10 wins out of 11 for the Gunners, who have built on winning the league title for the first time in 22 years last season.
Mikel Arteta's men also beat Bayern 3-1 in the league phase last term on their route to the final, although they were at home.
The Allianz Arena will provide a tougher test for the team missing William Saliba, Christos Tzolis and Piero Hincapie through injury.
