The biggest prize awaits the winners

It is an electric atmosphere as we head towards kick-off.

Arsenal’s owners are in the crowd for this one also.

Bayern Munich are looking to go one-step closer to winning their seventh Champions League title.

For Arsenal, they are looking to break their duck on that front.

Allianz Arena full to the brim

It will be an intimidating atmosphere for the Arsenal players this evening in Munich.

With 75,000 fans in the Allianz Arena, The Gunners will need to try and silence them early on.

Should Bayern get an early goal, it will be a stern test of the resolve of Mikel Arteta’s side.

Big moment in Arteta era

Many pundits feel this Bayern Munich side are there for the taking.

With the attacking threat of Arsenal’s pacey wingers having the ability to cause Thomas Tuchel’s side many problems.

These are the moments that Mikel Arteta dreamt of bringing back to North London, now he has the chance to make it a night to remember.

Pressure on Germans to progress

It has been 12 years since Bayern Munich had a trophyless season.

That is the reality if they go out of the Champions League tonight.

Having been unable to deal with the form of Bayer Leverkusen in the league this term, the pressure is on Thomas Tuchel’s side to ensure they are in the semi-finals by the end of the night.

Old foe could haunt Arsenal

Having scored a penalty in the leg, Arteta’s side need to be wary of the threat posed by Harry Kane.

The former Tottenham talisman would love nothing more than being responsible for the exit of their North London rivals.

He will be intent on getting amongst the goals in Munich this evening.

No gambles from Mikel Arteta – the Spaniard goes for his strongest possible line-up in Munich for a gargantuan tie, with the only slight surprise coming at left-back.

Jakub Kiwior started on the left of Arteta’s back four in the first leg against Bayern Munich at the Emirates last week before being hooked at half time for Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Zinchenko then started in the 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday before being replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu in the second half.

In a bizarre game of musical left-back chairs, Tomiyasu now starts at the Allianz – his first Arsenal start in all competitions since December 2 (a total of 138 days).

It is a slight risk, but an understandable one. Kiwior and Zinchenko have looked shaky in recent weeks and the Japanese international is a sturdy player capable of solidity and calmness under pressure.

Elsewhere, Kai Havertz returns to a central striker role with Gabriel Jesus dropping to the bench after failing to deliver against Villa.

Jorginho returns to midfield to partner Declan Rice and Gabriel Martinelli is back in the starting line-up for Leandro Trossard – who came off the bench to level the tie last Tuesday.
