Arsenal face a huge early test of their Champions League credentials as they visit Bayern Munich.
Both teams saw their dreams of glory dashed by Paris Saint-Germain last season. PSG beat Bayern in a classic semi-final tie before defeating Arsenal on penalties in the final.
Both teams are considered contenders to lift the trophy this term and will be hoping to make a statement soon after PSG set up two major goals with impressive wins over Manchester City and Barcelona in successive weeks.
