Familiar faces returning to Arsenal
There will plenty of former Premier League representation when Arsenal face Bayern, with Harry Kane, Leroy Sane, Eric Choupo-Moting, Eric Dier and former Gunner Serge Gnabry all potentially coming up against the north London side.
Kane had a superb record against Arsenal while playing for Tottenham Hotspur.
He scored 14 goals in 17 north London derbies, which is the most of any player in the fixture.
And in his first season in Germany, Kane has been in sensational form, scoring 36 times in only 34 appearances across all competitions.
City to play Real again
Man City will hope to repeat their performance from last season when they won 4-0 in the second leg of the semi-finals against Real Madrid en route to winning the competition.

But Real will feel confident of avoiding a similar result as they sit top of LaLiga, bolstered by the addition of England star Jude Bellingham, who has shone in his first season in Spain, scoring 20 goals and assisting nine in only 31 matches.
