Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Champions League last 16, second leg clash between Arsenal and Bayern Munich at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners face mission impossible as they look to overcome the fall-out of the Alexis Sanchez bust-up and a mammoth 5-1 first leg deficit to somehow reach the last eight for the first time since 2010. Can they make it interesting or will the Bavarians ease through, as expected? History is against Arsene Wenger’s men – no side has made it through a CL tie after losing the first leg by four or more. Kick off 7.45pm

Arsenal have prevailed only twice in 11 UEFA competition ties after losing the away first leg. The Gunners defeated HNK Hajduk Split in the 1978/79 UEFA Cup and FC Porto at this stage of the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League. These were both after 2-1 away losses, so this is a whole other matter tonight.

CLOSE! Walcott's pace sees him sprint free of the Bayern defence, but Neuer flies out of his box and hacks the ball to safety.

From Sanchezgate to papergate!

Xabi Alonso tucks a corner back for David Alaba who is given time to take a few touches before curving a shot wide from the edge of the area. Arsenal were asleep there.

First moment of note. Robben given time to jink inside Monreal and attempt a shot that takes a deflection a flies wide of the far post.

Very little happening in the opening exchanges. The Bayern fans in strong voice and expecting their side to win on the night too.

Welbeck reportedly ill, not injured.

HOPE? Bayern have won only three of their last 13 UEFA Champions League away games, losing seven. They have not won any of their last eight knockout games on their travels (D4 L4) since the 2-0 victory at Arsenal back in 2014.

Ticker tape on the pitch by the Bayern fans. The referee halts play until it's cleared.

History is against a sensational turnaround for the Gunners. Only three clubs have managed to recover from a four-goal first-leg deficit in UEFA competition.

Looks like the headlines may well be focused on what's happening outside the stadium, rather than what transpires in it during the 90 minutes of action...

19.30

Arsenal fans may be fed up of having the same season for the last few years, but the grass isn't always greener, according to BT pundit Rio Ferdinand.

19.28

Arsenal's record against German clubs at home is: W11 D1 L5. They have won their last two home fixtures against German opposition.

Sad scenes.

Meanwhile, outside the stadium the 'Wenger out' brigade have made their mark with the media.

19.20

Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummeniggeis keen to see his team produce a professional showing in London. He said: "This isn’t a team outing, it’s the Champions League. We can’t think we’re already through. We have one foot there but we need to treat Arsenal seriously and with respect."
