Bayern tuned up for the trip by grinding out a 1-0 win at Werder Bremen on Saturday as Thomas Mueller鈥檚 first-half goal 鈥 his ninth of the season 鈥 was enough to give it a ninth straight win at the start of the campaign, a new Bundesliga record.
The Germans are all too aware that Arsenal needs a win to keep alive its dreams of reaching the knockout stages. 鈥淲e have won the first nine games, there is a long way to go, but it is impressive how much this teams wants it,鈥 said Bayern captain Philipp Lahm. 鈥淚t won鈥檛 be easy (in London), but we鈥檙e ready. Arsenal are definitely better than zero points from two games.鈥
