Premier League side Arsenal will host last year’s Champions
League winners Bayern Munich tonight in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Last year in December, Bayern were beaten by City and
now it can happen again but against Arsenal. Gunner’s tow magician playmakers
Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla can make the real difference for Arsenal tonight. And
in the absence of Bayern start player Franck Ribery, Arsene Wenger will be
looking to take the full advantage.
Arsenal great defensive line can stop them from
scoring as Arsenal just conceded one goal since December at Emirates, and that
goal was scored by Steven Gerrard in a FA Cup game last Sunday.
Team
news for both teams:
For Arsenal, defenders Thomas Vermaelen, Kim
Källström, midfielders, Abou Diaby, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey all are
sidelined due to an injury. While Mikel Arteta will
have to suffer suspension for his red card.
Franck Ribéry, Holger Badstuber and Xherdan Shaqiri are out for Bayern Munich for tonight's clash.

Probable
Lineups
Stat:
“Arsenal have
lost their last 3 Champions League last 16 ties, while Bayern have won 4 of
their last 5.”
Prediction:
By seeing the last five meeting between these two
sides, it is clear that none of them have completely dominated, sometimes it is
Arsenal and sometimes it is Bayern.
This time for me I am going for a Bayern win.
Arsenal 1-3 Bayern
Munich
