Arsenal
Despite admitting that he was "struggling" towards the end of Arsenal's triumph over Brighton at the weekend, Bukayo Saka - who lasted just over an hour at the Amex - played down concerns of a debilitating issue and is expected to line up from the off on Tuesday, music to the ears of the Emirates army.
As a result, only ACL victim Jurrien Timber - still on track for a return before the season draws to a close - should sit this one out for Arsenal, although Declan Rice and Kai Havertz will be treading a tightrope on Tuesday; one more booking and the pair will miss the second leg at the Allianz Arena.
Yellow-card hypotheticals should not cross Arteta's mind, though - especially given the importance of his two big-money summer arrivals - but a couple of alterations on the left could see Gabriel Martinelli and Takehiro Tomiyasu reinstated to the XI for Arsenal's biggest match of the post-Wenger era yet.
While Rice and Havertz are at risk of an impending ban, Bayern can once again call upon Dayot Upamecano, who was forced to miss his side's second-leg beating of Lazio after seeing red in the Bavarians' 1-0 defeat away from home.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Bayern Munich
The visitors' treatment room was full to the brim before the weekend, as all of Manuel Neuer (groin), Kingsley Coman (thigh), Leroy Sane (groin), Noussair Mazraoui (illness) and Aleksandar Pavlovic (illness) sat out the loss to Heidenheim, but in a quintuple injury boost, all five have made the cut.
However, Gabriel Marusic (ACL), Tarek Buchmann (hamstring), Bouna Sarr (ACL), Sacha Boey (hip) and Noel Aseko (ankle) are missing for the visitors, who at least have Kane fit and firing as the former Tottenham talisman bids to add to his 14 goals from 19 previous showdowns with Arsenal, whom he briefly represented as a schoolboy.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Kimmich, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Goretzka, Laimer; Sane, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Bayern Munich
