By Augustine Akhilomen

After beating Hull City 2-0 in the Premier League at the weekend, Arsenal will shift their attention to Wednesday’s Champions League round of 16 clash against eternal rivals, Bayern Munich at the  Emirates Stadium.

The encounter which will have Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi in the starting line up all things been equal, will be hoping to run riot in the heart of the midfield in a bid to give the Gunners a dream first leg lead.

Having featured six times and scored a goal in this season’s UCL, the Nigerian international who’s favoured ahead of Alex Oxlade- Chamberlain by Gunners manager, Arsene Wenger would be banking on him to cause the Bayern side lots of havoc.

Iwobi made his Champions League debut against Bayern in 2015 which the Gunners lost 5-1 in the group stage.
