Match Preview:
The Emirates Stadium witnessed the two best teams in Europe - according to that day's league-phase table - collide on November 26, when Arsenal laid down a mammoth Champions League marker to maintain their 100% record at Bayern's expense.
The Gunners may have lost their perfect defensive streak in this season's tournament against the Bundesliga champions, but Lennart Karl's equaliser proved futile in the grand scheme of things, and Arsenal now stand alone at the summit of the 36-team rankings.
Sixteen points was enough for a guaranteed last-16 ticket in the 2024-25 season, and while there are many complicated permutations to work through, an anticipated win for Arsenal on Wednesday will surely see them bypass the first knockout stage for the second year running.
Mikel Arteta's men have already assured themselves of a playoff place at the very worst and are now aiming for a 10th straight success in the Champions League league phase, as well as a 10th consecutive match without defeat versus a Belgian club.

Coincidentally two points adrift of a precious playoff place in the Champions League rankings, hosts Club Brugge have experienced a dramatic fall from continental grace since opening their 2025-26 tournament with an astonishing 4-1 battering of Monaco.
Taking just one point from the last 12 on offer in the Champions League - albeit a very respectable point in a 3-3 thriller with Barcelona - Atalanta BC, Bayern and Sporting have proven superior to the Belgian outfit in their recent European scraps.
A comprehensive 3-0 loss to the latter on matchday five left Club Brugge in a miserable 26th place in the 36-team standings, and the hosts also have ground to make up in the Jupiler Pro League title race amid a dismal spell of domestic form.

Match Prediction: Brugge 0-2 Arsenal
Arsenal were not exactly bereft of invention against Aston Villa; the Gunners created four big chances but often lacked the ruthlessness to finish them off, which should not be the case on Wednesday.
Arteta's men are catching Club Brugge in a bad moment for the injury-hit Belgians - unless the new manager bounce comes into effect - but a rotated Arsenal side should still cruise to a last-16-clinching victory.
