This match tie is decided, as it is impossible to imagine Bayern wasting a 5:1 lead from the first match. IT was a very disappointing evening for Arsenal, after getting an away goal via an Alexis Sanchez rebound of his missed penalty, they completely fell apart after Laurent Koscielny's injury and let in 4 goals in the second half, which sees them facing an impossible task in the return leg.

We might see some rotation from both teams as Bayern have a big lead, so Arsenal may choose to rest a couple of players and focus on the Premier League. Phillip Lahm is suspended, so Rafinha will most likely step in for the Bayern Captain, who is enjoying his last season in the Champions League. It is also very possible that players like Kingsley Coman, Renato Sanches or Joshua Kimmich will get some taste of the knockout round of the Champions League.
Predicted Lineups:
Ospina; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs; Xhaka, Coquelin; Walcott, Perez, Iwobi; Sanchez
Neuer; Rafinha, Hummels, Martinez, Alaba; Arturo Vidal, Kimmich; Coman, Muller, Ribery; Lewandowski
Our Prediction:
Arsenal will try to prove they can beat Bayern, but we believe Bayern will prove to be too strong again. Result: Bayern win 2:1
