Arsenal Predicted Starters To Face Bayern Munich
By Josh Sippie
Alexis Sanchez and Joel Campbell
Is anyone else incredibly excited to see what Joel Campbell does? I was sitting on the edge of my seat for the Swansea City clash, thrilled out of my mind with how well he was doing. That was Swansea. This is Bayern Munich. However, if he keeps the same composure that he did against the Swans, he will be far from a liability against the German giants.

The one problem that could present itself is if Joel Campbell tries to be a hero. Once the Swansea game was decided, Campbell was cutting loose on shots and it was frustrating to Giroud, Ozil and Alexis, who often found themselves in better scoring situations had a pass been opted for.
But all of that can be amended. Joel Campbell’s Arsenal encore against Bayern Munich is a big deal. He still has a lot to prove.
Alexis was Arsenal’s worst performer against Swansea City. He was incredibly underwhelming and disappeared for the majority of the game. But just like I keep saying ‘this is Bayern Munich’ I can also say ‘this is Alexis Sanchez.’ He is one of the best players in the world. Guys like that know how to rise to the occasion.
No one expects Alexis to put Bayern Munich in his pocket. But he can definitely cause them a major headache from the left side of the pitch. That could open up the right side for a Joel Campbell storm that Bayern will not be expecting.
