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

3. Bukayo Saka

Thinking in the mind of Mikel Arteta, he would start Bukayo Saka in any circumstances. There's a reason why the Englishman is the Arsenal player with the most appearances under Mikel Arteta.

Thankfully, he didn't play the full game at the weekend as Mikel Arteta was afforded the rare luxury of taking Bukayo Saka off the pitch before full-time. This micro-rest might not seem like a lot but Saka will take every minute of rest he can get, especially in the title race. He will start this match.

4. Gabriel

It goes without saying that there's one man in the Bayern Munich attack who will be in the mood to cause trouble upon his return to North London. If there's anybody in the Arsenal team who is equipped enough to isolate Harry Kane and give him a horrid return, it's Gabriel.

Honourable shoutout to William Saliba, obviously, but we'll highlight Gabriel who has been the best defender this season.
