Arsenal seek to turn Bayern tie around

 

 Arsenal will need to summon a repeat of their last trip to Bayern Munich to stand a chance of UEFA Champions League progression on Tuesday, Goal  reports.

Xherdan Shaqiri, Thomas Muller and Franck Ribery all returned from injury to fire Bayern to a 6-1 thrashing of Wolfsburg in the German top flight on Saturday, and will undoubtedly be a huge boost to their chances of making it to the quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Arsenal will be without the suspended Szczesny, while Jack Wilshere is sidelined for around six weeks after picking up a foot injury in England’s friendly victory over Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Bayern manager Pep Guardiola insists his team  must go in search of victory against  Arsena.

“If we let Arsenal keep the ball, we will have a lot of problems,” Guardiola told reporters.

“They have a lot of quality, every single player has unbelievable technical skills with the ball. They have players like (Santi)  Cazorla, (Mesut)  Ozil, (Tomas)  Rosicky and (Mikel) Arteta – it is no problem for them to keep the ball in their lines.

“So the only way to avoid that is to keep the ball for ourselves – and obviously we have to be aggressive. What I noticed about my team was that we are at our best when we just think about attacking.

“If we start to speculate and think about what we may have done wrong in London, then they have a good chance to win and we won’t go through to the quarter-final.

“I know Arsenal very well, I played two times against them with Barcelona. I know their coach. If we have the ball, we will be in the next round. If Arsenal have the ball, they will be in the quarter-final.”
