The Gunners march into the Emirates Stadium Tuesday evening today to play their UEFA second round match against the Bayern Munich.
For the match Tuesday evening, Mikel Arteta has challenged his Arsenal team-mates to come out all guns blazing when they tackle German powerhouses Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League.
The warning is timely as the Gunners were humiliated by the Blackburn in the FA Cup match, while the Germans seem in an ominous form.
However, the Gunners are at home in the first leg of this Round of 16 clash, having finished as runners-up in Group B behind Schalke, another German team, while their opponents, Bayern, topped Group F by virtue of head-to-head results against Valencia.
As for the injuries, Bayern Munich midfielder Javi Martinez has recovered from a bruised toe, but they shall still be missing striker Claudio Pizarro (illness), plus defenders Jerome Boateng (suspended) and Holger Badstuber (knee). In the Gunners' camp, left-back Nacho Monreal is ineligible and Kieran Gibbs is out with a thigh injury, but fellow defender Carl Jenkinson comes back into the squad after a one-game suspension.
So would the Gunners be able to outscore the Germans? Well the continuous warning from Heynckes that his players be wary of opposition that "pose a great danger" to them, makes some wonder about the outcome in Gunners' favour.
Let us watch the match Monday tonight and find out whether is scare is genuine or otherwise.
The match is scheduled for Tuesday Feb. 19, 19:45 GMT / 2:45 p.m. (ET) at the Emirates Stadium.
