Competition : UEFA Champions League 2013

BAYERN MUNICH and Arsenal will play in the second leg of their Champions League.

Arsenal will play against BAYERN MUNICH in the Allianz-Arena ,which has got a 1-3 in London.

Bayern currently lead the Bundesliga by 20 points, and need just three wins from nine to win the title ahead to Borussia Dortmund. On the contrary, Arsenal are five points behind Chelsea who currently hold the Premier League’s fourth place spot.

For Bayern Franck Ribery picked up an ankle injury against Fortuna for Bayern. He is set to miss out on the Tuesday night clash. Holger Badstuber is not due back for Bayern till at least the end of the season. He had a second surgery recently. Bastian Schweinsteiger is suspended after picking up his third yellow card of the current European campaign in the group stages.

Arsene Wenger has rightly pointed out the same in his pre-match Interview:

“The chance is small, but the chance makes the impossible possible. That would be a great credit for our team if we do it. We have to try to achieve it.”

For Arsenal, Nacho Monreal, previously involved in this competition with Malaga, is ineligible. Kieran Gibbs continues to be out, leaving Arsene Wenger with few choices for the left back berth in his side in Europe.

Reports emerged on Monday night that Jack Wilshere (ankle) is set to miss the game and potentially the rest of the season.

Possible lineups:

Bayern: Neuer; Lahm, Van Buyten, Dante, Alaba, Martinez, Gustavo, Shaqiri, Kroos, Muller; Mandzukic

Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Ramsey, Arteta, Wilshere; Cazorla, Walcott, Giroud.
