Arsenal are involved in Premier League action today but after the weekend, attention will turn back to the Champions League. Needless to say, Arsenal's 2nd leg against Bayern Munich has incredible importance attached to it after the Gunners managed a 2-2 draw in the home tie.

Mikel Arteta was not pleased with his side's performance, claiming on the night that "we could have done much better tonight".

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal: 3 changes Mikel Arteta must make

So, it looks like Mikel Arteta is looking to make changes ahead of the Allianz Arena trip. Here are 3 changes which seem like obvious improvements from the 2-2 drama...

IN: Gabriel Jesus - OUT: Jorginho

Jorginho played adequately against Bayern Munich but that was about it. While he did well to move the ball around the midfield with his range of passing, he was very slow to pick up the loose balls. This was taken advantage of by Bayern Munich, who won back possession a lot in the midfield.

Jorginho is an excellent midfielder but in my opinion, dropping Kai Havertz into an advanced midfield role and bringing in Gabriel Jesus instead is the wisest choice.

After all, Jesus turned the game around when he was brought off the bench in the 1st leg. His intricate dribbling ability will give Arsenal more attacking firepower which is necessary considering they need a win to advance.
