Here’s a fun fact: Arsenal are the most left-footed team in Europe’s major leagues. This is not by chance — it’s a deliberate recruitment strategy. You might even call it an obsession for Arteta. Piece here on why it matters and how #AFC have done it https://t.co/5DwfqcE899

Can anyone become a long-throw expert? Frank Anderson, a specialist coach, believes so. I went to see if he could turn me into the Sunday league version of Michael Kayode/Rory Delap — in just one session. https://t.co/flhlp07mHa

Arteta on Trossard’s fitness: "With Leo there is another test today. It didn’t look like much. There is a potential chance [he could be available]." #AFC

In no previous year would Arteta have been able (or willing) to substitute Bukayo Saka with the score at 1-1 against a team like Bayern. But #AFC now have the most firepower in Europe. Their subs have scored/assisted more than any Champions League side https://t.co/K4kIKnJX5L

Arteta on Trossard's injury: “We don’t know. He said he felt something and we didn’t want to take any risks.” #AFC

Interesting that Arsenal have produced their best two performances of the season (in my opinion) with Mikel Merino up front. He brings the best out of the attacking players around him. Such a smart player.

The Arsenal fans are properly enjoying this now. The third goal has removed a lot of the stress. "Are you Tottenham in disguise?" and "Harry, what's the score?" have been sung in the last few moments.

Noni Madueke has been causing problems for Bayern since half-time and it's great positioning at the back post. Yet more evidence of the power of Arsenal's squad: no chance they would ever feel able to substitute Bukayo Saka in such a game in previous years.

Just as Arsenal get a forward back (Martinelli) they lose another one to injury (Trossard). The Belgian has been #AFC's best attacker this season with 10 goal involvements. Would be a massive loss for the Chelsea game, if he's out.

Jurrien Timber is not a tall man but he's so often a serious threat at set-pieces. It must be down to his physicality and explosiveness, because a man that short really should not be causing so many problems in a packed box.

Fun fact: Bayern's starting lineup at the Emirates tonight contains as many London-born players as Munich-born.

Luis Munoz, a 13-year-old attacking midfielder in the Arsenal academy, has just become the youngest player in the history of the Uefa Youth League. He’s come onto the pitch as a 86th minute substitute for #AFC against Bayern Munich. Born December 2011.

Michael Olise is one of the best wingers in the world. In the major leagues, only Kane & Haaland have been involved in more goals. Olise is still only 23 and he has been wanted by Premier League giants for years. Will he come back? And where could he go? https://t.co/2LPkWEQ5pN

Arsenal are closely monitoring Spanish midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza and are weighing up a potential move for the 20-year-old. #AFC face intense competition from other European giants if they decide to formalise their interest. @TeleFootball https://t.co/5Ca6w2dVxd

Arteta on all the goals against Spurs being from open play: “I am upset we didn’t score with a set piece. I want to score with a set piece as well.”

Arteta on Odegaard being fit to face Bayern: “We are going to have a meeting to decide on Martin. He was very close for the previous game and we are hopeful.” #AFC

Fun fact: Arsenal aren’t unbeaten this season, but Leandro Trossard is. He didn’t play against Liverpool, and he hasn’t lost a match with Belgium.
