Arsenal confirmed line-up: Noni Madueke starts against Bayern Munich as Kai Havertz leads the attack

Mikel Arteta makes two changes from the win at Nottingham Forest, with Jurriën Timber also coming in and Eberechi Eze and Ben White dropping to the bench.

Noni Madueke starts in the Arsenal confirmed line-up against Bayern Munich, with Kai Havertz keeping his place up front for Wednesday’s Champions League match at the Allianz Arena.

Madueke replaces Eberechi Eze after coming off the bench to score the winner in Arsenal’s 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. Jurriën Timber comes in for Ben White in the other change from Sunday’s starting side.

Viktor Gyökeres is among the substitutes, while Bruno Guimarães continues alongside Declan Rice in midfield. Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka also start.

Madueke gets his chance from the start
