Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal: Lineups

Bayern Munich and Arsenal have both named attacking lineups as the Gunners attempt to recover from their first-leg home defeat.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich have named attacking lineups as the defending Champions look to hold off any attempt by the North Londoners to get back into the game after suffering defeat in the first leg.

Mikel Arteta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are the midfield two for Arsenal, while Bayern opt for Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thiago, with Philipp Lahm returning to right-back and Javi Martinez playing in defence.

Arsenal also field Thomas Vermaelen at left-back after Kieran Gibbs was struck down with injury. It'll be quite a task for the Gunners to win here, but they've done it before, and they may well feel it is within their abilities to do so again.

Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; David Alaba, Dante, Javi Martinez, Philipp Lahm; Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thiago; Franck Ribery, Mario Götze, Arjen Robben; Mario Mandzukic.

Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Lukasz Fabianski; Bacary Sagna, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Thomas Vermaelen; Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain; Santi Cazorla, Mesut Ozil, Lukasz Podolski; Olivier Giroud.
