Arsenal v Bayern Munich: Wojciech Szczesny claims Bayern should not be favourites for Champions League tie Bayern are flying in the Bundesliga. They have fantastic individual players like Robben, Ribery and Neuer in goal. They are very strong but we won't be scared. One player with first-hand experience of Bayern is former Chelsea and Wolves defender Michael Mancienne, who plays for Hamburger SV in Germany. Mancienne has stressed the difficulty Arsenal will have against the German league leaders, but also feels Arsène Wenger's side can prosper on the counter-attack. "I'd like to see Arsenal win the game as I always support the English teams in Europe but against such a strong side, it is going to be very difficult for them," Mancienne said to the Standard. They're the best team here by a mile and even though there are plenty of good sides in Germany, as you've seen in the Champions League this season, it's almost as though Bayern are too good for the Bundesliga. The one area where [Arsenal] might get some joy, though, is on the counter-attack. Bayern alway throw a lot of men forward when they're attacking, which means they can threaten from everywhere but Arsenal play such good football and there is definitely the potential to punish them on the counter-attack. If Robben and Ribery play, they don't always track all the way back, so maybe Arsenal could catch them off guard.
