Arsenal hosts last season finalist just after FA cup hangover as they were defeated to Blackburn in FA cup 5th round.

Arsenal 1-3 Bayern Munich

Lucas-Podolski Arsenal

Arsenal can erect new reason to celebrate if they can take good advantage of the home leg just after disappointment they faced against Blackburn in the FA cup.

Arsenal has met Bayern Munich four times before with the gunners only winning once . Their last meeting came on 2004-05 when Munich registered 3-2 aggregate win in Champions league Round of 16.

Mikel Arteta is still struggling to start in the side as Wenger looks to start attacking trio Theo Walcott, Lucak Podolski and Santi Cazorla up front although Oliver Giroud has four assists in the group stage in the Champions league this season, which is best only after Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s five.

Lucas Podolski has 100 percent accuracy on shots as the German has three goals from three shots in Champions league this season while Munich holds records of most scorers this season as nine of their players have found the net.

Mario Gomez’s fine Champions league record can help the finalist to take an advantage as the 27 years old German has scored 25 goals in 26 Champions League starts.
