Form

Despite Harry Kane scoring this Bayern side is not an excellent vintage in the manner of all their great teams of the past, despite the £100million outlay for Kane last summer.  

Under-fire Tuchel has already confirmed he will not be in Munich next season - with Bayern set to miss out on the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 seasons, having already missed out on the Super Cup and the DFB-Pokal.

This is Bayern’s last hope of an unthinkable season without a trophy, while the two legged clash could see a majestic Arsenal team move closer to the staggering dream of a Premier League and Champions League double.

Bayern Munich could be without eight players for the trip to London. Sacha Boey (hamstring), Bouna Sarr (knee) and Tarek Buchmann (muscle) have already been ruled out, and Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, Noussair Mazraoui and Aleksandar Pavlovic are in a race to be fit for the game.
