Arsenal proved last month that Bayern Munich can be beaten. Now they're trying to prove the German champions can be beaten again.

Despite the excellent 2-0 win for the Gunners when these sides met at the Emirates, Arsenal's terrible start to their Champions League campaign means that they really could do with leaving Munich with something.

The current situation sees Arsene Wenger's side sitting bottom of Group F with three points. Above them are Dinamo Zagreb, also on three points and then Bayern and Olympiakos on six points. Defeat to Bayern and a win for Olympiakos could make progress to the knock-out phase nearly impossible.

But a look at their lengthy injury list suggests picking up a point or three this week will be tricky.

Pep Guardiola also has his problems with both Franck Ribery and Mario Gotze unavailable for meeting at the Allianz Arena.

But that doesn't compare to Arsene Wenger's problems. Here, we take a look at those among the Arsenal side who will either miss or be unlikely to feature in Wednesday's match...

Do you think Arsenal can overcome their injury problems and win in Munich? Let us know in the comments below.
