League Form Could Serve Us Well Against Bayern

Arsenal face Bayern Munich tonight in the Champions League in the knowledge that defeat in our 3rd group game will mean almost certain elimination.

Despite their great league form, the Gunners have been very poor in Europe and lost their first two games in this season`s European Cup against team we should really be hoping to beat, however our CL survival now rests on our ability to play well, and win against top German side, Bayern Munich.

Arsene Wenger believes his team can take the positives from their league campaign and take them into this vital match.

“[There was] the one that won the treble with Ribery at full power, Robben at full power and Kroos, Schweinsteiger and Muller in midfield so I believe we have played good Bayern sides and got good results against them.”

“We have the needed belief and confidence that we are doing something right so that helps. We maybe could be a little suspected of not taking the first two games seriously enough but this time that is not the threat.”

“Let`s take the positives of our Premier League [form] and as well get the right focus that you get when you play a big opponent.
“We have some ground to make up in Europe as we have not been at our requested level in our first two games.”

‘Our focus has been much stronger in the Premier League than it has been in Europe and we know in this game the focus needs to be exactly the same than in the in Premier League.”

The Gunners have had both good and bad results against Bayern in recent years and it remains to be seen which Arsenal side shows up, but one thing is for sure, if we have any hope of winning tonight we`re going to need the services of Mesut Ozil and Alexis sanchez.
