The Gunners have lost both of their Champions League games already this season, but the Gunners have been in form fine in recent weeks - winning their last two Premier League matches by 3-0.
Arsenal bounced back after the latter defeat at home to smash three goals past Manchester United in 20 minutes. Manager Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal can continue that form against a team he described as the best club side in the world.
“It is a game we want to win. We have some ground to makeup in Europe, where we have not been at the requested level. The focus has been much stronger in the Premier League. We know the focus needs to be the same here,” Wenger said.

“We have the belief and confidence we are doing something right. That helps. Maybe we could be suspected in the first two Champions League games of not taking the opponent seriously enough. This time that won’t be a threat (issue).
"We have to win, we know that. All English teams need to make up ground. The Premier League takes energy out of all English teams. And Bayern are the best team in world right now, But there is no team without a weakness.
“We have played and beaten great Bayern teams at least as good as this one. We have to focus on both sides of the game, we know they like to go forward and we like to go forward. We know are playing against a top side.”
