Arsenal secured a convincing 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Gunners have had a fabulous league campaign and moved six points clear at the top after a resounding performance in the north London derby.
The focus will now turn to the Champions League. Mikel Arteta’s side are scheduled to host Bayern Munich in tomorrow’s much-awaited encounter.
Ahead of the game, Arteta could contemplate a solitary change from the 4-1 rout of Spurs.
We believe Riccardo Calafiori could be back on the bench as part of his workload management.
The Italy international started in the Champions League curtain-raiser against Athletic Bilbao, but has been an unused substitute in the last three European games.
Calafiori suffered a hip injury scare during the international break, which contributed to his early return, but the left-back was deemed fit for the north London derby.
The 23-year-old played almost the entire game against Tottenham before Lewis-Skelly replaced him prior to stoppage time. It is probably a big selection hint.
Calafiori could be given another breather against the reigning German champions before the London derby against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Piero Hincapie made his full European debut for Arsenal against Slavia Prague at left-back this month, but he is likely to partner William Saliba in central defence again.
With Gabriel Magalhaes out for several weeks with a thigh injury, Hincapie needs as many minutes as possible in the left centre-back position to adapt efficiently.
This should pave the way for Lewis-Skelly to make his third Champions League start of the campaign.
The £39 million-rated star only came on in the 73rd minute against Slavia, but looks poised to start at left-back this time, with Hincapie in central defence and Calafiori being rested.
The rest of the Arsenal XI could stay unchanged from the derby win over Spurs.
