Preview: Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal

Sports Mole previews Arsenal's trip to Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Arsenal will need to deliver a repeat of their last trip to Bayern Munich if they are to stand a chance of progressing into the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

The Gunners are 2-0 down from the first leg of their last-16 tie, as goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller secured victory for the Bundesliga side at the Emirates Stadium two weeks ago.

Arsene Wenger's men will take encouragement from their visit to the Allianz Arena at the same stage of the competition last season, when they won 2-0 but were knocked out on the away goals rule.

The Gunners' Premier League form has suffered a dip in recent weeks, but they progressed to the semi-finals of the FA Cup by beating Everton 4-1 on Saturday.

Bayern come into the second leg in fine form, having picked up their 16th consecutive Bundesliga win with a 6-1 thrashing of Wolfsburg at the weekend.

Manager Pep Guardiola could bring Franck Ribery and Muller back into the side after the pair returned from injury at the weekend.

Arsenal will be without the suspended Wojciech Szczesny, so Lukas Fabianski is expected to deputise in goal. Mathieu Flamini is expected to continue in midfield in the absence of the injured Jack Wilshere, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be handed a start.
