No Mandzukic? How Bayern Should Line Up Against Arsenal

Hands up, who gives Arsenal a chance of getting a result tonight against Bayern Munich? I'm unsure, but I think anything could happen in the Champions League. Bayern have such a strong squad that they are rightly the favourites, and are the current holders of the competition. But how should they line up tonight in north London?

Manuel Neuer is the man who will be between the sticks as he has been all season.

On the right on their defence which will platform their 4-1-4-1 formation will probably be Rafinha, and on the left will be David Alaba, who will be encouraged to push on and attack Bacary Sagna.

The two centre-halves will be Dante and Jerome Boateng who have an established partnership in the middle of defence.

The holding midfielder should be Philip Lahm as it now seems as though the entire squad is built around him, with the midfield pair of Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger playing just in front.

Arjen Robben will be the man on the left flank, and as a result of Franck Ribery's injury I think Thomas Muller will be on the right. Either that or he could operate as a false number 9, though I think it'll be Mario Gotze will be in that role.

Mario Mandzukic missed out at the weekend due to a suspension but is again available, though I would probably have him on the bench.
