Player Market

Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka will be two of the biggest attacking threats on Wednesday night, with both England internationals looking to make their mark in this Champions League clash.

Kane has enjoyed an impressive start to the season, continuing the form that has made him one of the favourites for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. The former Tottenham striker has registered four goals and five assists in 6 Bundesliga appearances and has also been clinical in Europe, scoring three goals in 2 Champions League games from an xG of 2.61.

Saka, meanwhile, remains a key attacking figure for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, having registered three Premier League goals this season. The winger also came off the bench to score against Lille in Arsenal's last Champions League outing, taking his European tally to one goal and one assist despite playing fewer minutes than Kane.

Player Comparison

• Harry Kane to score and assist: 7/1
• Bukayo Saka to score anytime: 14/5

Player to watch: Luis Diaz

Luis Diaz heads into Wednesday's clash in excellent form after producing a brilliant display in Bayern Munich's 6-1 win over RB Leipzig at the weekend, scoring three goals and registering an assist.

The Colombian also found the net in Bayern's last Champions League outing against Viking and could have an even bigger role to play here with Michael Olise suspended. With Harry Kane attracting so much attention, Diaz has the quality and directness to exploit the spaces around Arsenal's back line.

The former Liverpool winger is no stranger to facing Arsenal and will be eager to make his mark again on a big occasion,particularly given his strong attacking output.

• Luis Diaz to score and assist: 6/1

Can Arsenal's solid defence withstand Bayern Munich's relentless attacking firepower, or will the German champions prove too strong on home soil?
