pump passes into Olivier Giroud as they look to
repeat their shock 2-0 triumph at the Emirates a
fortnight ago
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola believes Arsenal will
pepper his side with long balls when they clash on
Wednesday.
The Gunners recorded a shock 2-0 win over the Bundesliga
champions at the Emirates a fortnight ago, Olivier Giroud
and Mesut Ozil scoring to give Arsene Wenger's side a way
back into the competition.
The victory was the north London club's first in their
European campaign thus far - having fallen to defeats to
both Olympiacos and Dinamo Zagreb - and Guardiola
predicts the Gunners to be direct at the Allianz Arena.

The former Barcelona boss expects the Gunners to play
"long balls to [Olivier] Giroud," with Theo Walcott out injured,
though he has voiced his admiration for the club's playing
style and insists they are "one of Europe's top sides".
"They are strong enough," he added when asked about
Arsenal's current injury problems, with Aaron Ramsey also
set to miss out.
"Arsenal want to attack, but it's difficult against us with our
good pressing game."
Bayern have a fully fit squad to choose from, with the
exception of Jan Kirchoff, who may be sidelined with a
stomach injury.
