Strongest Arsenal Lineup To Play Against Bayern Munich – Ramsey, Ozil And Podolski To Start?

DM) Mikel Arteta – Arteta scored the crucial penalty against Everton to safeguard Arsenal’s chances of winning a silverware. The midfielder was sorely missed during the first leg as Ozil stepped up in his absence and failed to score from the spot. This time around, Arteta would be crucial, not only for converting Penalties but in the midfield trying to stop the Bavarians.

DM) Mathieu Flamini/Ramsey – Arteta’s partner at crime in the heart of Arsenal’s midfield. Flamini was caught out of position time and again during the first leg, but French man will remain in the team to do the dirty work. However, there is a slight chance of Ramsey starting the game. It is a long shot, but the Welshman has to start if Arsenal are really going for it. The midfielder returned to fitness, but is still considered a doubt for Tuesday’s clash.

AM) Mesut Ozil – The man who has been under the spotlight for various reasons and probably the match against Bayern was the start to all of it. The German International as one would expect would be raring to get on the pitch to set things straight.

AR) Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – It simply comes down to the Ox. The youngster has that raw pace and tenacity in him that could just surprise the Bavarians. He is probably the only player who has what it takes to run at the defenders and create something out of the ordinary. Although, he has been in and out of the starting XI, Chamberlain simply has to start.

AL) Santi Cazorla – The licence to cut in from the left flank and help Arsenal’s attack will be handed to Cazorla, but the Spaniard will have to track back a lot to help Gibbs stop the forays of Robben down the left flank.

FC) Giroud – The French International was left on the bench during the first leg, but will have to start this time around. Having scored a brace against Everton on Saturday, the striker will be on a high when he steps up at the Allianz.
