Ahead of the match against Arsenal, Guardiola says "This is a match we want to win in front of our supporters"
Arsenal intends to continue their winning ways today at the Allianz Arena, Munich against Bayern with renewed hope of qualifying. After defeat on match day three, Josep Guardiola's side knows they need to take their chances or risk being punished on the break by the Gunners again.
The two coaches are however talking tough ahead of tonight's clash and have this to say via uefa.com.
Josep Guardiola, Bayern coach
They are one of Europe's top sides. It is a new game after we lost in London. This is a match we want to win in front of our supporters. We have another 90 minutes to move closer to qualifying for the next round.
Arsenal like to keep the ball and attack. Look at all the players they have on the pitch – they are players to keep the ball and perhaps try long passes to [Olivier] Giroud. We will have to adapt our defence as they will want to play their type of game. We want to press them high so they can't play out of defence. I always tell my teams to attack as much as possible and to create as many chances as possible.
Arsène Wenger, Arsenal manager
We will try to keep on the same path. We want to see the performance that we showed against them in the last game. We want a positive result again. We continue to develop as a team. We did well the last few weeks and that should give us the belief to achieve something tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a good opportunity to show that we have developed as a team.

Amuneke: Golden Eaglets Ready For “Solid” Mexico
Golden Eaglets coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, has stated that his players are not fazed about meeting Mexico in the semi-final of the U-17 World Cup.
In UAE 2013, the Eaglets defeated Mexico 6-1 in the group stage and 3-0 in the final to claim their fourth U-17 world title.
Both teams will square off in Thursday’s last four clash after Mexico beat Ecuador 2-0 in the quarter-final.
Amuneke told nff.com that the game will be a thrilling encounter following Mexico’s performance so far in the competition.
“We welcome the challenge of meeting Mexico again because we are more or less old foes.
“I think it is going to be an interesting game because the Mexicans have shown in this tournament that they are a very solid side but we will continue to work towards this important semi final game.”

Mexico Coach Ready To Stop Golden Eaglets’ “Excellent” Attack
Mexico coach Mario Arteaga has boasted that his team will be ready for the Golden Eaglets' onslaught in Thursday's semi-final clash of the Chile 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
The match kicks off at 12 midnight Nigerian time on Thursday.
The Mexicans booked their place in the last four after defeating Ecuador 2-0 in Monday's quarter-final.
Reacting to their win against Ecuador, Arteaga praised his players on how they approached the game against Ecuador.
"The match went as we expected, very tight between two teams with the same level. But my team has managed to stay very calm and very well composed in this game with impeccable behavior," Arteaga told FIFA.com.
"My players were good tactically, physically and mentally. Nigeria is a very good team, and we will prepare ourselves better to face their excellent attack."
Emmanuel Ameneke's boys have scored 17 goals in five matches at Chile 2015, including a 5-1 bashing of the hosts and a 6-0 thrashing of Australia.
At the 2013 edition in the United Arab Emirates, the Golden Eaglets defeated Mexico 3-0 in the final to claim their fourth FIFA U-17 World Cup title.
They had earlier thrashed Mexico 6-1 in the group stage of the same tournament.
The other semi-final will see Mali take on Belgium.
