Arsenal vs Bayern: 3 Key Battles To Look Out For

Arsenal host Bayern Munich this evening in the Champions League, so here are three key battles to look out for during the clash.

Lahm vs Ozil

The two are partners in the Germany national side and know each other's games inside out, but the battle in the middle of the pitch could prove the vital battle in the result. Ozil's form has dipped somewhat over the last few months and I think it's time for him to show us what he can do on the big stage, but Lahm is in superb form and will be protecting the back four from Ozil.

Giroud vs Boateng

Olivier Giroud is not the most nimble of strikers, nor is he the most prolific. However, he is a strong player who can make a nuisance of himself and has the ability to trouble even the most established defenders, so going up against Boateng will be an intriguing battle.

The former Manchester City and his partner Dante have been a major reason as to why Bayern are still undefeated this season.

Robben vs Sagna

Robben is a player who loves to run at defenders and open up gaps, and with Sagna a full-back who likes to push up the pitch he could find some joy in behind. For me I expect Robben to win this battle, if of course they are up against each other, and the Arsenal man will be calling upon his colleagues to cover him.
