Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal: 2017 ICC Time, TV Schedule and Live Stream

Arsenal will begin their 2017 International Champions Cup campaign by playing Bayern Munich at the Shanghai Arena in Shanghai on Wednesday. It will be the first meeting between the two teams since Bayern inflicted a humbling 10-2 aggregate defeat on the Gunners in last season's UEFA Champions League last 16.

There is likely to be a changed look about both squads for this showcase pre-season event. For one thing, each club has made new signings already this summer.

Bayern signed dynamic midfielder Corentin Tolisso from Lyon and also added James Rodriguez on a two-year loan from Real Madrid. Arsenal have also raided Lyon this summer, making striker Alexandre Lacazette their club-record signing to go with the free transfer capture of versatile left-sided player Sead Kolasinac.

The match will afford managers Carlo Ancelotti and Arsene Wenger the chance to work on different combinations and formations ahead of the new season. For Arsenal boss Wenger, it will mean another opportunity to use new signing Lacazette in a variety of ways.

The Frenchman was deployed on the left in the 3-1 friendly win over Western Sydney Wanderers on Saturday. It's a position Wenger likes for him, but the manager also admitted he expects the 26-year-old to spend most of his time through the middle, per Goal's Chris Wheatley:

If Lacazette does play as a central striker, he could be asked to form a partnership with one of the Gunners' current options at the position, including Olivier Giroud.

The two played together against Western Sydney, with Giroud getting on the scoresheet. Afterwards, the former Montpellier man talked up the potential double act, per John Cross of the Daily Mirror: "Alexandre is a good player, and it is easy to play with this type of player on the pitch. We had the opportunity to play together a little bit for the national team and hopefully he will settle in the English Premier League."

With star man Alexis Sanchez not in attendance, Wenger may continue experimenting with a Giroud and Lacazette partnership.

Of course, Sanchez was once a transfer target for Bayern, before president Uli Hoeness ruled out a move, per Fox Sports Italy (h/t James Cambridge of the Daily Express). Yet even without making a move for Sanchez, Bayern still have an abundance of quality in forward areas.

One player they won't use, though, is ex-Arsenal prospect Serge Gnabry. Bayern's summer signing has already been loaned out to fellow Bundesliga club Hoffenheim, per a club statement (h/t Geoff Sweet of The Sun).

James could feature, however, after helping his new club beat Werder Bremen to lift the Telekom Cup on Saturday, per FourFourTwo.

Whoever plays, there are usually goals when these two meet. Bayern have won the previous two meetings by identical 5-1 scorelines, but they will be made to work harder before winning narrowly this time.
