Team News: Three changes for Arsenal

Three changes for Arsenal

Arsenal have made three changes to their starting lineup for tonight's Champions League last-16 second leg against Bayern Munich in Germany.

Laurent Koscielny passes a late fitness test to return in defence, while Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud are both recalled by manager Arsene Wenger following Saturday's FA Cup win over Everton.

Lukas Fabianski continues in goal in place of the suspended Wojciech Szczesny.

Meanwhile, Franck Ribery is named in Bayern's XI after missing the first leg at the Emirates Stadium two weeks ago. Arjen Robben, Mario Gotze and Mario Mandzukic are also included.

Bayern: Neuer; Lahm, Martinez, Dante, Alaba; Schweinsteiger, Thiago; Robben, Gotze, Ribery; Mandzukic Subs: Starke, Van Buyten, Rafinha, Pizarro, Boateng, Muller, Kroos

Arsenal: Fabianski; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen; Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski; Giroud Subs: Viviano, Jenkinson, Rosicky, Flamini, Gnabry, Hayden
