Arsenal head to the Allianz Arena where they will look to overcome Bayern Munich in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie.
After a shocking defeat to Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium last weekend, Mikel Arteta may be picturing the Champions League as the priority as they're now two points behind Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
Bayern, on the other hand, are in a similar position as they have already been beaten to the Bundesliga title by Bayer Leverkusen. Thomas Tuchel may be leaving his role as manager in the summer, but what better way to put yourself in the managerial shop window with a fresh Champions League medal around your neck?
The Sporting News takes a look at the two sides' injury news and how they could line up.
