The Champions League Group Stages – Match Day 3, Arsenal vs Bayern Munchen, The Emirates, Kick Off 19:45 Local Time
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerín, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Özil, Sánchez, Walcott
Bayern Munchen: Neuer, Alaba, Boateng, Bernat, Lahm, Thiago, Alonso, Vidal, Lewandowski, Costa, Müller
So which Arsenal is going to turn up tonight?
The one which battered United a fortnight ago or the team who was tamed by Olympiakos a few days prior?
Actually, we think that Arsenal could flourish instead of fold at The Emirates on Tuesday night.
Bayern München, lest we forget, are at their best right now and are crushing everyone in their path.
But, with few now expecting Arsenal to come out of the group stage, the pressure is arguably off and The Gunners tend to thrive when that is the case.
We expect Arsene Wenger’s men to simply want to show the world that they are a good side, regardless of the ultimate positions in the group.
As such, Arsenal players may view this as a one off and could turn it into a famous victory.
Certainly they need a big result in Europe to assuage the long-term concerns of the Arsenal doubters that Arsene Wenger has run out of ideas.
So we will stick our neck out and go a for an entertaining score draw or an Arsenal win.
