Arsenal take on Bayern Munich in the first of a two-legged quarter-final in north London on Tuesday evening.

The Gunners will be in the quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years, and their run in 2010 was ended by Tuesday’s opponents, who secured a 10-2 win on aggregate, including a 5-1 win at the Emirates.

The record between the sides makes for a grim reading for Mikel Arteta’s side, and the Germans have won seven of the 12 meetings between the sides, including the last three.

However, Arsenal have been a different team this year. While last year they were not able to keep pace with Manchester City in the league, they will go into the Champions League match top of the league, although they only lead Liverpool on goal difference.

While Bayern, who have won every Bundesliga title since the 2011-12 season, trail Bayer Leverkusen by 16 points.

Team news

Arsenal will only be without Jurrien Timber, who sustained a knee injury in August and has not taken to the field since, but Arteta will have a number of key decisions to make. Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko will be pushing to retain their places in the starting line-up after being chosen for the 3-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.

For Bayern, Manuel Neuer is expected to be fit for the match despite missing the last two games with a torn adductor muscle sustained while on international duty.

Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Noussair Mazraoui all missed Bayern’s defeat at the weekend, but trained ahead of the Champions League clash and could be in contention.

Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Rice, Odegaard, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
