Arsenal FC's only hope of winning a title lies on the UEFA Champions League. The North London club were knocked out of the English FA cup on Saturday. Arsenal have not won a trophy since 2005 and they are currently outside the top four in the English premier league. Bayern Munich are on top of the German Bundesliga and the Bavarians have vowed to beat the Gunners at the Emirates stadium later tonight.
Home Team
Mikel Arteta and Kieran Gibbs are the major doubts for the London club. The trio of Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla are expected to the lead the attack for the home side. If Arteta should pass a late fitness test, he will play along with Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere. The back four will remain unchanged. Sagna,Koscielny,Mertesacker and Vermaelen will have their hands full against a free scoring Bayern Munich side. The Germans have scored 13 goals in their last five league matches without conceding a goal.
Visitors
Javi Martinez makes a return to the squad after missing the match against Wolfsburg as a result of a toe injury. Claudio Pizarro and Holger Badstuber will not feature in the game due to injury while Jerome Boateng will serve his suspension against Arsene Wenger's men.
Head To Head
Bayern Munich lead Arsenal by three wins against one. The last meeting between these two sides ended 3-2 on aggregate in favour of the Germans.
Bayern have not won in England since April 2001 when they defeated Manchester United on their way to lifting the title at the expense of Valencia.
Kick off: 19.45 GMT
Our prediction: Arsenal 2-4 Bayern Munich
