Arsenal travel to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night needing to overcome Bayern Munich to secure a place in the Champions League semi-finals following their epic encounter last week.
The German giants managed to come away from the Emirates Stadium with a 2-2 draw and that has leaned the tie in favour of the Bundesliga outfit given that the second leg on Wednesday night is in front of their home fans.
Arsenal also suffered a blow to their Premier League title hopes at the weekend as Unai Emery’s Aston Villa side turned up to the Emirates and secured three points with a 2-0 win.
It remains to be seen how that will affect Mikel Arteta’s men ahead of facing Bayern Munich and the Spanish coach has made three changes from that defeat on Sunday.
Zinchenko, Trossard and Jesus are replaced by Tomiyasu, Jorginho and Martinelli for the North London outfit.
Arteta has also moved Kai Havertz back up front which many criticised the Spanish coach for changing on Sunday.
