Mikel Arteta’s troops are pinning high hopes on the upcoming clash at the Allianz Arena.
Arsenal had a light training session at London Colney before heading to Germany to face Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Despite their recent loss to Aston Villa over the weekend, which cost them control over their fate in the Premier League title race, overall, the Arsenal squad seems relatively relaxed.
In a recent interview, Declan Rice asserted that Arsenal needs to prove themselves in the upcoming 90 minutes at the Allianz Arena.
Jurrien Timber seems to have regained the necessary fitness after a long period of injury treatment.
He’s vigorously competing on the training ground.
The return of the Dutch newcomer could potentially alleviate concerns on the left flank for the Gunners, especially considering both Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko have failed to meet expectations.
Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka could potentially start as wide forwards. Both possess excellent dribbling abilities and have the awareness to find space to exploit defensive support situations.
The highest position in the attacking line-up is likely to be occupied by Kai Havertz. The German star can technically play as a left-sided number 8, but he’s currently thriving in the false nine role, where he’s maximizing his effectiveness.
Gabriel Magalhaes appears relaxed ahead of the big showdown.
Mikel Arteta and his players are confident in achieving a positive result at the Allianz Arena.
