Bayern Munich coach planning a surprise line up against Arsenal ahead of their Second Leg clash of the UCL

Thomas Tuchel could reportedly be planning a staggering tactical switch-up targeted at stymying Bukayo Saka against Arsenal tonight. 


Bayern Munich welcome Arsenal to the Allianz Arena in the Champions League quarter-finals after a 2-2 draw in the first leg. 

And German newspaper BILD believes they have spotted a potential surprise admission - thanks to the help of the wind. 

Heavy gusts of wind at Bayern's Sabener Strasse complex meant that curtains and canopies obscuring the training pitch didn't close fully. 

That allowed BILD reporters to spy the team's final match in preparation for their European clash. 


BILD spotted all most of the players expected to start wearing the same kit, as if they were the 'A team', with those expected to miss out, such as the suspended Alphonso Davies, in the 'B team'.

Noussair Mazraoui and Raphael Guerrero were in the 'A team', which is surprising because both are full-backs. Only one would be needed to cover for Davies.

The newspaper speculates that rapid Mazraoui will be tasked with marking Bukayo Saka, while Guerrero will play on the left wing, pushing Jamal Musiala into the central role usually occupied by Thomas Muller.

Alternatively, Tuchel could find space for both in the back line. 

Muller, arguably Bayern's most iconic player, was reportedly playing for the 'B' team in the match, indicating he could be dropped yet again. He did not start against Arsenal last week.
