Arsenal are aiming for a place in the UEFA Champions League semifinals as they visit Bayern Munich on April 18 (AEST).
The Gunners have slipped in their Premier League title challenge following a 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa ahead of the trip to Bavaria.
Leandro Trossard's late goal off the bench secured a vital 2-2 quarterfinal first leg draw with Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium last week and Mikel Arteta now faces a crucial test in Munich.

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal prediction
Both Tuchel and Arteta could see their season defined by this game, with Bayer Leverkusen already clinching their first-ever Bundesliga title, and Arsenal now playing Premier League catch-up to Manchester City.
Arsenal will need their trademark defensive resilience in Munich and the hope injury absentees could just edge the tie in favour of the visitors.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 0-1 Arsenal
