Arsenal put their perfect Champions League record on the line in matchday three of the 2026-27 league phase, when Mikel Arteta's men go up against the mighty Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

The Gunners have already seen off Napoli and Lille without conceding to open up a two-point lead over Vincent Kompany's charges, who battered Bodo/Glimt 5-0 the first time around before a chaotic 3-3 draw with Viking FK.

Here, Sports Mole runs through everything you need to know about how to follow the fixture.

What is at stake for Bayern Munich and Arsenal?

One unbeaten UCL record may cease to exist when the final whistle blows at the Allianz Arena, where a rare away triumph in Munich for Arsenal would represent a significant statement of their European credentials.

Arteta masterminded a 3-1 home victory over Bayern in last year's league phase, but the Gunners have lost their last three games at the Allianz Arena and have only won one of their previous seven trips to the venue.

However, the Premier League champions have strung together an incredible 14-match winning run in the Champions League league phase, although that pales in comparison to Bayern winning 37 and drawing two of their last 39 UCL group stage/league phase games in front of their own fans.

The Bavarians' talisman Harry Kane has a couple of recent wrongs to right against Arsenal too, having failed to score in his last two appearances vs. the Gunners, albeit while netting 15 overall in 22 previous head-to-heads.

On the visitors' end, a major opportunity awaits Noni Madueke, who scored in this fixture last term and was the hero of the hour in the weekend's win over Nottingham Forest after Eberechi Eze's toothless performance.
