ISAAN KHAN: It was a cold afternoon on September 28 last year when I went down to Swansea Football Club to meet Charlie Patino. The diminutive midfielder was splayed out on a chair in the club dressing room, ready for his only interview since leaving Arsenal on loan in August. He was buoyant, for sure. Three assists and a goal in eight matches, seven of which were starts, had left the 20-year-old confident - and with his Gunners prospects on his mind for next summer, citing William Saliba's transition from being loaned out on three successive season to becoming an Arsenal mainstay.

Gabriel and Saliba were both handed a 'five' for their woes and misdemeanours as Arsenal surrendered their grip on the game and let an out-of-form Bayern capitalise. The former was beat to the ball by Serge Gnabry for Bayern's first goal before a controversial handball - which wasn't given - in the second half. Meanwhile, Saliba gave away the penalty that allowed Harry Kane to equalise for Bayern and fell short of his typical excellence.

KEOWN TACTICS: Arsenal's Harry Kane will be a huge challenge, but they will have a concrete strategy for stopping him. We've seen in the Premier League how Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba aren't afraid to following their opposition striker if he falls into a deep position. In their weekend victory over Brighton, they had it on occasion. Bayern Munich also have so much energy among their attacking options, particularly Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry, that Arsenal may reconsider using that tactic in these two legs.

Arsenal has played Bayern Munich in the Champions League for the past three years, but the experience has been surprisingly sobering. Arsenal lost 5-1 in their most recent match, at the Emirates in March 2017. Arsenal defeated 5-1 at the Allianz Arena one month before that. Arsenal lost 5-1 when they met in November 2015 at the Allianz Arena. The German giants loom in Arsenal's most recent appearances in the tournament, where it seemed to have been their intention to act as second-round cannon fodder for the European elite.

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven is as good as Arsenal centre-back William Saliba, according to Jamie Redknapp. Redknapp also said he was convinced that van de Ven, who was on the scoresheet in Tottenham's 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, might have resemble Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk. Since being plagued by a hamstring injury early in the season, Van de Ven has had an incredible first season at Tottenham Hotspur.

TACTICS (KEOWN) TALKS: Arsenal's ride to Brighton on Saturday will be a must-win tie. It's no coincidence that they have conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League, while still scoring the most. It's a matter of a desire to shield one end of the pitch at the same time as they want to pose a threat at the other. Last weekend's 0-0 draw with Manchester City demonstrated just that.

On Sunday, Man City was held to a draw by Arsenal, but they may have snatched the three points if Erling Haaland gave up his big chance in the second stage of the game. With Haaland well handled by William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, it was a game of few openings. However, the striker did have a good view at goal in the 83rd minute but then completely fluffed his lines.

The defender has had a fruitful season with Arsenal and played a key role in Mikel Arteta's Premier League campaign. However, his victories at Les Blues were a stark contrast to his teammates with Les Blues, with Dayot Upamecano, Ibrahima Konate, and Benjamin Pavard all favoured over him. Saliba was an unplanned replacement in France's 2-0 friendly loss to Germany over the weekend and has only played in two of his country's last 18 games. He may be in line to play against Chile on Tuesday in a rotated XI, but Deschamps has defended his decision to limit him to a bit-part role.

He may not be prone to smiling much, his serious demeanour a foil to others, but the defender's place in this squad is undeniable, as another vital cog of Arsenal's backline has been secured for another four years.
