Arsene Wenger claimed his side have to go all out in attack if they are to stand any hope of resurrecting their Champions League dream with victory over Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
The Arsenal manager said six goals in two Premier League games, including a 3-0 thrashing of Manchester United earlier this month, had been ‘perfect’ preparation for the crucial clash at The Emirates.
Shock defeats by Dynamo Kiev and Olympiakos have left Arsenal needing a win against the German champions to reduce the likelihood of a disastrous early exit from a competition that Wenger had ambitions of winning at the start of the season.

‘It is a perfect run in our Premier League and also perfect preparation for Bayern because we had no injuries and got the three points,’ he said after goals from Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey saw off Watford.
‘Now we can focus and give everything on Tuesday. The confidence level is there, we know exactly what is needed, a 0-0 is not even a good result. To score goals, we have to attack.
'To be 3-0 up in 20 minutes as we were against Manchester United would be ideal but we did not plan that. We need to play to our level because we play against a big team.’
Wenger will hope to invoke memories of 2003-04 when Arsenal executed an unlikely passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League despite being rock bottom after three games, with one point.
