Confirmed Champions League lineups for Arsenal and Bayern Munich

Both Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola have named as close to a full strength lineup as their teams can bring to bear right now.

With a lot on the line in Champions League action, neither Arsenal nor Bayern Munich are pulling any punches. Both Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola have named as close to a first-choice lineup as they can, setting up what should be a very, very entertaining match.

Will Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny be able to slow down the unstoppable force of Robert Lewandowski and keep him off the scoresheet? Can Mesut Özil unlock Bayern's midfield and get Theo Walcott running free behind the defense?

This is going to be a heck of a game. Strap in.

Arsenal starting XI (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Hector Bellerin, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal; Santi Cazorla, Francis Coquelin; Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Özil, Alexis Sanchez; Theo Walcott

Bayern Munich starting XI (4-3-3): Manuel Neuer; Phillip Lahm, Jerome Boateng, David Alaba, Juan Bernat; Xabi Alonso, Thiago Alcantara, Arturo Vidal; Thomas Müller, Robert Lewandowski, Douglas Costa
