    Arsenal CAN Beat Bayern Tonight - Ozil And Oxlade-Chamberlain The Key Men

    Many people have already written off Arsenal for tonight's trip to Bayern Munich. The Germans have ripped apart almost everything that has been in front of them over the last 18-months and are arguably at their strongest right now. So for Arsenal to go to the Allianz-Arena with needing to overturn a two goal deficit seems highly unlikely. I think they can do it, though.

    It might be a case of blind hope. It could even be because I have seen a couple of sloppy spells from the Bundesliga leaders this side. Either way, I think that Arsenal can win the game. That's not to say they will progress in the end, but I think Arsene Wenger has a chance to pinpoint Bayern's weaknesses and attack those areas.

    For me their weak link is the central pairing of Dante and Jerome Boateng. It might seem naive to say that as the club have conceded just 11 league goals in 24 games, but the standard in the German topflight isn't all that.

    Both players are capable of individual errors, especially Dante, and both can be exposed to speed. They will probably dominate in the air and deal with anything that comes into the box aerially, but if players like Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain run directly at them then I think they could get some joy.

    Gooners, do you agree? Or is everyone accepting defeat?
