Kick-off time, TV details, live stream, team news, referee, match odds

Harry Kane will face his former North London rivals when Arsenal host his Bayern Munich side in the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday.

The England captain spent 14 years at Tottenham Hotspur – becoming the all-time highest goalscorer for club and country – before making the move to the Bundesliga giants last summer. His return to face his former derby foes is an intriguing subplot ahead of the first leg tie at the Emirates. Kane has scored 38 goals and counting in his first season in German football, having netted 14 for Spurs in 19 games against the Gunners. He is also tied with Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann at the top of the Champions League scoring chart this season with six goals in eight matches.
