Bayern began their first leg match with the league leaders of the EPL with Manuel Neuer in goal. Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies as the outside backs, while Matthijs de Ligt played centre-back alongside Eric Dier. Konrad Laimer started as holding midfielder next to Leon Goretzka, as Leroy San\u00e9, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane made up the front four.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, there were also changes in central defence, where de Ligt and Dier returned to the lineup for Dayot Upamecano and Min-jae Kim, compared to the game against Heidenheim. The fourth and final change from said encounter was San\u00e9 coming in for Thomas M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n Despite the Arsenal game having been arguably one of the Bavarians\u2019 best performances of the season, the fact remains that they are winless in the last three encounters in all competitions. That must change quickly, if they are to save their season. Bayern have only won four of their last 10 matches, losing four and drawing the remaining two.<\/p>\n But if Tuesday\u2019s match proved anything, it was that Bayern\u2019s problems were not down to personnel or tactics, but rather concentration and desire. Given those attributes, the team are more than capable of beating any opponent in Europe on any given day. They were certainly not the weaker team at the Emirates, which is even more remarkable, given that no travelling fans were allowed in the stadium that night.<\/p>\nBayern Munich Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n
