ARS vs BAY: Arteta's Tactical Lineup that could help Arsenal Get a first leg advantage over Bayern

Arsenal's preparations for their Champions League quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich have been relatively smooth, with manager Mikel Arteta facing just one injury concern.

Jurrien Timber's absence due to an ACL injury will be keenly felt, but the Gunners are otherwise in good shape.

Star player Bukayo Saka, who recently battled a knock, has recovered in time to feature in this crucial fixture.

Despite admitting some struggle during the weekend match against Brighton & Hove Albion, Saka's determination to contribute was evident as he not only started but also scored.

His presence on the right-wing alongside Kai Havertz adds strength to Arsenal's attacking lineup.

Gabriel Martinelli, now fully recovered from a foot issue, is set to return to the starting XI, further bolstering Arsenal's offensive capabilities.

His inclusion in place of Leandro Trossard highlights Arteta's intent to field a dynamic and potent attacking unit against Bayern Munich.

The midfield trio of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, and Jorginho is expected to play a crucial role in controlling the tempo of the game and creating opportunities for the forwards.

However, both Rice and Havertz must tread carefully as they risk missing the second leg if they receive yellow cards.

In defense, David Raya will continue to guard Arsenal's goal, supported by a solid backline comprising Ben White, William Saliba, and Gabriel Magalhaes.

The potential inclusion of Takehiro Tomiyasu could provide additional stability against Bayern's attacking threats.
