Arsenal have a huge game coming up against Bayern Munich.

The focus is currently on the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, but everyone’s eyes are on the big Champions League clash at the Allianz Arena.

Arsenal faced Bayern Munich in the league phase last season and deservedly won the game 3-1. They will be hoping to do the same on Wednesday night.

Joshua Kimmich admits Michael Olise’s ban will make it difficult for Bayern Munich vs Arsenal

Michael Olise will miss the game against Arsenal due to a one-game ban.

The Frenchman, who is one of Bayern Munich’s best players, was sent off in their previous Champions League game against Viking and will now have to serve a suspension.

That is a big blow for the Bundesliga champions. Olise has been in fine form this season, scoring nine goals and providing five assists in just 10 games so far.

Kimmich is confident that his side can deal with the former Crystal Palace man’s absence, but he has admitted that Olise’s absence will make it a bit more difficult for Vincent Kompany’s team.

He said, as per Bavarian Football Works: “We have one or two players carrying knocks from today [Saturday], I hope it’s nothing serious. Michael Olise will be unavailable due to the red card. Obviously, that makes things a bit more difficult for us, especially when it comes to replacing him in a top match like this.

“But we have plenty of quality in the squad and will give it everything we’ve got. I’m really looking forward to the game.”

Supercomputer predicts Arsenal and Bayern Munich’s Champions League chances

If you ask any football fan, they will tell you that Arsenal and Bayern Munich will both go far in the Champions League this season.

The Gunners made it into the final of the competition last term, while the Bundesliga winners were knocked out by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final.

This season, after the first two games, Opta’s supercomputer has predicted that Bayern have a 15.4 per cent chance of winning the Champions League, making them second favourites.

However, in first position is Arsenal, who have been given a 20.81 per cent chance to lift the one piece of major silverware that has evaded them in their history.
