When and Where Is the Match?

The UEFA Champions League delivers one of its biggest fixtures this Wednesday, November 26, when Arsenal host Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium. Kick-off is set for 3:00 PM ET, with Italian referee Marco Guida in charge of a match that could define the battle for first place.

Arsenal’s Preview

Arsenal arrive as the second-place side in the group, but their numbers are flawless: four wins in four matches, 11 goals scored, none conceded, and the best defensive record in the competition. Their most recent outing, a 3-0 away victory over Slavia Prague, reinforced the control and confidence of Mikel Arteta’s team.

All eyes will be on Victor Gyökeres, who remains the reference point in the attack. Even if he hasn’t reached the explosive scoring form some expected, his movement, physical presence and ability to create space make him fundamental to Arsenal’s offensive structure — especially against a Bayern side that rarely gives anything away.

Bayern Munich’s Preview

Bayern Munich arrive in even stronger shape: top of the group with 12 points, four wins from four, 14 goals scored and just three conceded. They are the most dangerous attack in the Champions League so far. Their latest statement came in Paris, where they defeated reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain 2-1.

The spotlight naturally falls on Harry Kane, who is in unstoppable form. The English striker has already scored 24 goals in 18 matches across all competitions and represents the biggest threat to Arsenal’s immaculate defensive record.
