Arsene Wenger's side are still bottom of group F but a positive scoreline in Munich will be a welcome result after they lost their opening two fixtures.
Bayern were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw with Frankfurt on Friday and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer thinks Arsenal will adopt defensive tactics again.
"Arsenal will have followed the game and will have seen, that defensively it wasn't easy for us," he said.
"Perhaps they will play even more defensively as in the away game."

He added: "We have to regenerate now and do better against Arsenal.
"Arsenal pulled everyone back at their place and I guess it'll be pretty much the same again."
