Babbel: Bayern Munich won't have a problem with Arsenal

Former Bayern Munich defender Markus Babbel is confident that Arsenall will not pose too much of a problem for the German and European champions this week.

The Gunners host the Bavarian outfit in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Wednesday night and Babbel believes Pep Guardiola's men will be far too good for the injury-hit Londoners.

"They (Arsenal) are not better than last year and have many injuries," the ex-Munich and Liverpool defender told Munchner Merkur.

"If Bayern remain concentrated, Arsenal will not be problem. You see it in the Premier League: against the big teams they often lose."
