Gabriel and Saliba meet the ultimate test in Harry Kane and Saka faces high-octane battle with Davies... Mail Sport's CHRIS SUTTON picks out three key battles as Arsenal host Bayern Munich

Arsenal will aim to take their domestic form into the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

Mikel Arteta's side will be look to juggle their Premier League title push with a deep run in the Champions League when they face the German giants.

Bayern thrashed Arsenal 5-1 in each of their last three Champions League clashes, but the German champions head to North London on a poor run of form.

The hosts will still have to be wary of Harry Kane as the former Tottenham striker seeks to find the net again against Arsenal.

Here, Mail Sport's CHRIS SUTTON picks out three key battles ahead of the first leg at the Emirates Stadium. 

GABRIEL & WILLIAM SALIBA v HARRY KANE

The Premier League has seen some famous thou-shalt-not-pass pairings — from Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic to John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho — and Gabriel and Saliba have been totally dominant domestically this season. 

Now it’s time to translate that to the vital stages of the Champions League. 

It will not take much for Kane to be motivated and he will provide them with the ultimate test in the way he drops, half-turns, links up and, of course, scores.

BUKAYO SAKA v ALPHONSO DAVIES

This should be a high-octane battle down the wing. 

Saka will try to put Davies into such a spin that he doesn’t know where he is as he feints, goes, stops, comes inside, chops back and generally tries to devastate the defender. Sometimes you have to wonder if he has glue on his boots. 

But Davies likes to fly forward, too. He is ultra quick and Saka will need to show a willingness to work. 

He will have to track back and do the dirty work because Ben White will need his help.

MARTIN ODEGAARD v LEON GORETZKA

Bayern will know they need to nullify the instrumental Odegaard. 

With his vision and ability to take the ball on the half-turn, he can cut you open with one of those sliding passes that he loves to play.

Goretzka is a powerhouse in the Bayern midfield who will need to try to stop Odegaard dictating. 

He can play a nice pass as well, but I suspect we will see Goretzka trying to use his physicality.
