Pep Guardiola: Why I'm scared of Arsenal in Champions League crunch game at the Emirates

Pep Guardiola admits he's scared of Arsenal tonight

PEP GUARDIOLA admits he's scared of Arsenal tonight.

The Bayern coach believes if his players were in Arsenal's position they would be like animals at the Emirates.

Arsenal go into the game bottom of the group without a point after the farce against Olympiakos and the defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the opener.

David Ospina, who dropped the ball over the line against the Greeks, is set to miss out with Petr Cech to start his first Champions League game for the club.

Bayern are top with six points but Guardiola insists they have to keep fighting until qualification is assured.

"They have an advantage because they have to win," Guardiola said. 

"I prefer our situation, but I can imagine how my players would be if it was the other way round… they would be animals.

"They would be very aggressive. We have to look for a different way to compete against them. We must be intelligent.

"Of course our situation is better than Arsenal's, but there are still 12 points up for grabs and we are not qualified yet.

"We have to fight against one of the best teams in Europe."
