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 hosts injury absentees could just edge the tie in favour of the visitors.

Prediction: Bayern Munich 0-1 Arsenal
