THE BIGGER PICTURE
Arsenal have struggled against Bayern in the past and have won only won one of their six away games against the Bundesliga side in the Champions League. However, Wenger remains confident of victory, pointing out that Bayern have suffered some poor results at home this season in the German top flight.
WHAT WENGER SAID
He told beIN Sports: “Arsenal against Bayern Munich is a 50-50 game. Bayern have recently been vulnerable at home in the Bundesliga, they lost to Dortmund in a very important game so they will not be 100 per cent confident. I still think Arsenal might just glide through against Bayern.”
DID YOU KNOW?
Arsenal have tasted defeat on their last three visits to Bayern Munich. The last two games have resulted in 5-1 wins for the Bavarian giants.
