6 non-negotiable starters for Arsenal vs Bayern Munich to secure Mikel Arteta's win

Arsenal come up against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday evening. Needless to say, this match is absolutely HUGE so Mikel Arteta will approach his starting lineup with only the finest intricacy.

That said, some decisions make themselves, so without further ado, here are 6 non-negotiable starters for Arsenal vs Bayern Munich...

6 non-negotiable starters for Arsenal vs Bayern Munich

1. Declan Rice

We all thought it, right?

Declan Rice is the best player available to Arsenal right now. Signing for £105m from West Ham United in the summer, the chants which claim "Declan Rice, we got him half price" are only a half-joke. If he were signed for £210m, nobody would bat an eyelid given how excellent he's played.

However, it's matches like this which are the reason why he was signed. He said when he arrived at Arsenal that he would like to win trophies so... What better trophy to win than the Champions League?

2. Martin Odegaard

Sticking with the midfield, the second midfielder out of the three is already decided. Martin Odegaard will absolutely start this match, given that he's the captain.

Make no mistake about it, though, he earns his spot in the starting eleven week in, week out. Being the best player in the last Champions League match and scoring a goal in the last Premier League outing, Mikel Arteta will make this decision in his sleep.
