Cristhian Mosquera and Myles Lewis-Skelly both return to the starting lineup to take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Piero Hincapie partnered William Saliba for the north London derby on Sunday, but with Gabriel Magalhaes still unavailable, it’s Mosquera who is selected alongside the Frenchman in the centre of defence on Wednesday night.

Lewis-Skelly replaces Riccardo Calafiori at left back, but apart from those two changes, it’s the same team that started the 4-1 north London derby win.

There is good news among the substitutes. Martin Odegaard returns to the squad, having been unavailable with a knee injury since facing West Ham on October 4.

Bayern come to Emirates Stadium also with four wins out of four in this season’s Champions League. Luis Diaz is suspended for them, but Harry Kane leads the line up front as expected. 

Ebere Eze’s former Crystal Palace teammate Michael Olise starts, as does former Gunner Serge Gnabry.
