Martinelli starts! Bayern Munich and Arsenal name XIs for CL showdown | OneFootball

Arsenal and Bayern Munich have named their starting XIs for the Champions League last eight clash at the Allianz Arena this evening.

The two sides sit locked after a end-to-end first leg finished 2-2 in north London, and both will be looking for a killer blow to set up a semi-final tie with either Manchester City or Real Madrid, who face off in the other quarter final.

Thomas Tuchel’s side will have to do it the hard way though; they are without the suspended Alphonso Davies after he was cautioned in the first leg, while wide men Kinglsey Coman and Serge Gnabry will also both be missing, though Leroy Sané and Manuel Neuer have been passed fit.

For their part, Arsenal are looking to bounce back from a tough defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday, and have recalled Gabriel Martinelli to their frontline in a bid to do so after the winger was a substitute against Villa.

There is another surprise too, with Takehiro Tomiyasu starting his first game since December in place of Oleksandr Zinchenko.
