Watch Bayern Munich vs Arsenal live streams in a classic irresistible force against immovable object contest at the Allianz Arena on Champions League 2026/27 Matchday 3.
Vincent Kompany's six-time European champions fell 3-1 to Mikel Arteta's eventual runners-up just under a year ago, and Die Roten want revenge.
Kompany wasn't his usual effervescent touchline presence for the 6-1 Bundesliga demolition of RB Leipzig at the weekend, the Bayern boss suffering from illness and a painful hip. Luis Diaz's lethal hat-trick will have improved Kompany's mood, though, with the Colombian's first goals since August vital tonight with Michael Olise – 14 goal involvements in 10 outings this term – suspended after his red card in the surprising 3-3 draw with Norwegian side Viking. Harry Kane faces the club he may or may not have supported as a boy, and will look to extend Bayern's run of 24 consecutive Champions League games in which they've scored.
If the German champions have been in rare attacking form (25 goals scored in their past six games), the Gunners have been more circumspect. Since a 3-0 shellacking at Brighton, Arteta has returned to the control-first mantra that secured last term's Premier League title with a 1-0 weekend win at Nottingham Forest coming from their only shot on target. A one-time coach of Kompany's on the Manchester City backroom staff, the Basque boss saw his side beat Lille 3-0 last time out in this competition and will consider giving Sunday matchwinner Noni Madueke a start after Ebere Eze struggled.
