I think Arsenal on the contrary now is the time to become consistent outside the EPL, they are strong enough and hold serious competition in their home league, which can't be said for Bayern. Maybe Arsenal will take advantage of Bayern's position and still be able to go further in the 1/2 of the tournament
If Arsenal is going to beat Bayern Munich and take revenge for all the beatings they have received in the hands of the German champions, then the time is now, they might never get a better chance to beat Bayern Munich. Tuchel's men are really struggling and now their only chance of lifting a trophy is the CL, but they are faced with a huge test in Arsenal.
If Arsenal are to progress to the next round, then they have to beat Bayern at the Emirates. Bayern Munich might not be in form, but beating them in the Allianz Arena is a tough proposition, thus Arsenal need to take the initiative and win in the first leg, so they can at least carry a win into the second leg in Germany.
Arsenal must do everything possible to defeat Bayern Munich this season in the UCL because if Munich defeats them again, I will say they will never defeat Bayern Munich again, and now that some of their players are hurt, Arsenal can get the opportunity to defeat Tuchel. Arteta must prepare for the match because Tuchel has more Champions League experience than Arteta due to Arteta's lengthy qualification process. Arsenal failed to defeat Manchester City in the league, ending the game in a stalemate, and they are no longer in the first position in the league table, and it will be very tough for Arsenal to top the league now that Liverpool are in strong form now and they are the favorites to win the league title.
Arsenal should simply perform well in the Champions league so that they can have luck and win the competition because football is unpredictable at times. Bayern Munich, too, has know hope in the Bundesliga championship, therefore Leverkusen have take over they should fight in the Champions League. UCL is their only hope to win or lose and prepare for next season, because I don't think Arsenal or Bayern Munich will win there league trophy this time again.
The current strength of both clubs is equal, lol am wrong here! Of course, you know that Arsenal performance level is greater than Bayern Munich in this era. Which is why it will be straight win for Arsenal. If Manchester City cannot beat Arsenal home and away even without scoring a goal in the two games i don't think Bayern Munich can. Arsenal will focus on the defensive side holding the game for the first half a draw or if they have opportunity they score a goal. While in the second half they will forward with pressure after seeing the loophole in Bayern Munich team. If Bayern Munich were a threat in this game, they would have been in the top of their league.
Already i have arrange my score line for the game and i am predicting Arsenal to win 3:0 at the Emirate stadium. Bayern Munich should be the one to prepare because they are about to face a strong competitor in the UCL.
