Ashley Young's dive was appalling. The Premier League must eradicate it by banning cheats for up to three games - TACKLE KEOWN

Thank you as always for all your questions. Don't forget to send them in for next week, when you can #TackleKeown once again.

Good question! It’s going to be an interesting game but I still feel Arsenal have the edge in many of the individual battles.

In goal I think Petr Cech has been world-class. That’s not to underestimate the contribution of Hugo Lloris but I suspect even he might accept that Cech deserves the nod.

Defensively I have been very impressed by Spurs this season. Though I think Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal are the better full backs, it’s a very close call in the middle. Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld have been very impressive and formed a real partnership together. Laurent Koscielny is an excellent defender too, so any of those three could make it in.

In midfield Eric Dier has been fantastic and is a vital cog in their machine. He is defensively minded and improving every game but I still think Francis Coquelin is better in that role. And though Dele Alli has bags of potential, I wouldn’t have him ahead of Santi Cazorla.

Further forward I think Arsenal would dominate. You can’t remove Alexis Sanchez or Mesut Ozil, and though Christian Eriksen has done well this season, there’s still more to come. I have been surprised by Erik Lamela’s improvement but he still wouldn’t get in ahead of somebody like Aaron Ramsey.

Then up front I think Harry Kane would deserve a start. He is starting to edge towards the kind of form he showed last year and he is a proper frontman. He has been playing well for his team all season and now is adding goals back in to the mix.

As for the dugout, I think you have to pick Arsene Wenger, purely because he has his side ahead of Tottenham in the table. But I have been seriously impressed by Mauricio Pochettino this season, particularly his tendency to play young English players in huge numbers and really develop them.

And the result? I can’t go for anything other than a home win. 2-1 to Arsenal.

Funnily enough I don’t think winning it would even be my favourite memory. That probably came in the semi-final against Wolves in 1998.

It was such a tight game at Villa Park but winning that game and knowing that I was going to play in an FA Cup final at Wembley felt like a defining moment. The game had a carnival atmosphere and the euphoria in that dressing room afterwards will live with me forever.

To go on and win the trophy was huge as well, but for a personal moment that was it. That’s when I knew I was going to get my day in the sun at Wembley.

Personally I don’t think he should ever have been allowed to leave in the first place. Maybe Jurgen Klopp would have kept him had he been in charge.

But right now I think it would be disruptive to bring him back in. Because of the type of man and player he is, I wouldn’t put it past Gerrard to come back in and start running the show. When Thierry Henry came back to Arsenal it was a bit different. Because he was a striker, it was easy for him to make late cameos to try and make a difference. With Gerrard it would be a different story.

But Klopp says he won’t take him on and I can fully understand that. It was inevitable that when Gerrard finished in the MLS the question would arise. Klopp will have known for some time and he’s a strong manager. But if there is a sudden glut of injuries in midfield and Gerrard is still available, then don’t rule out a possible change of mind.

There’s still an opportunity but Arsenal have to hope the Olympiacos game is still alive by the time they play them. Until it’s mathematically impossible, they will keep going.

I’m fairly confident that Bayern will beat Olympiacos. The competition for places at that club is fierce – so even if they field a ‘weakened’ team, it will be stuffed with high-quality players trying to prove themselves.

If it does go wrong and Arsenal end up in the Europa League, that will have a big impact on their title challenge. Playing on a Thursday can completely alter the shape of your week and often it feels like you don’t get a rest day. So that would be something they would have to adapt to and quickly.

I watched him closely at Euro 2012 and was actually pitch-side when Germany lost to Italy in the semi-finals. Muller came on late on but Germany were already 2-0 down. I could see even then the hunger and desire in his eyes. He was furious at the situation and desperate to change things. That attitude has got him a long way.

He doesn’t look like the kind of player afraid to speak his mind in the dressing room and he carries that approach onto the pitch. He is ruthless.

He is a roadrunner with good pace, even if he isn’t the most graceful of movers. I see him more as a wide man than a central striker but whenever he is in the team, Bayern and Germany seem to get results. The best thing about him is that if he sees an opportunity, more often than not he takes it. That’s what he did last night.

At the very highest level, you want a team that can adapt and win a game in any kind of circumstances. If it’s a battle, they have to be up for the fight. If it’s about creativity, you have to show you’ve got the quality.

But any team has to show they have an appetite and hunger for both facets of the game. I think that was the major difference between the two sides last night. Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger have very similar attacking philosophies but defensively, Bayern were far superior.

In the first half, Arsenal were inviting Bayern onto them. There was no urgency or pressure on the ball and Bayern were allowed 20 yards into the Arsenal half before they were put under any sort of pressure. When I played for the club we would always press teams as soon as they got into our half and our mantra was: the better the player, the tighter you get.

Bayern have so many high-quality players but last night Arsenal did not want to press them high up the pitch. They showed in the latter stages that they have the fitness to do it, but they didn’t get their heads down and do that in the first half and by that stage the game was gone. They needed to use their energy to press Bayern and force the mistake.

And yes Bayern were superb but to give yourself any kind of chance, you’ve got to compete and stop people early.

We had this last season with Louis van Gaal. They played three at the back and the fans demanded a change. They also wanted to see Wayne Rooney play through the middle and Van Gaal adapted. But the Dutchman is not stupid.

He’s got his own style but has been creeping towards the more attacking traditions of the club. Yes they have been poor in recent weeks but they looked more direct against Moscow and slowly they are getting there.

If they keep heading that way they are definitely in the mix. Between now and Christmas United have a good run of fixtures and they will really want to build some momentum and gain consistency. If they can, they could be ready to strike in the second half.

Well, he’s been doing it for years. As a defender you are appalled by that kind of thing. That’s where I’ve always felt the Premier League could do more in terms of retrospective action.

I’ve said before that if a player is seen to dive they should get a one game ban. Do it again and you get two or three games. That would quickly eradicate the problem because it wouldn’t make the risk worthwhile.

It is cheating, ultimately, and we want honesty and integrity in our game.

I still think of City as almost babies in Europe. But they have been there for a couple of years now and I think they’re steadily enhancing their reputation. They have had very tough groups in the past but the challenge now is can they win the group. Juventus made the final last year so if they could beat them to first place, that would be good marker.

But certainly City’s confidence must be growing in Europe. They are looking more solid and these European nights will become much more enjoyable.

I thought it was a remarkable statement. It’s not something you would expect to hear from a player and if it’s true, it’s disappointing. But in many respects it was Mourinho who started all of this. In the dressing room you can’t ever let it get to a stage where different groups feel like it’s ‘us and them'.

When Mourinho started up this season, it was like he was firing bullets in public and now this is a player firing one back. If manager crosses a line, as Mourinho has done this season, then the paranoia can start to affect not just him but his players as well. That’s when you’re in real danger of destroying everything you’ve worked for.

Maybe after last night and the reaction from the crowd, that will help him to improve his behaviour. I’d quite like to know if he is proud of the way he’s behaved. When asked he prefers to stay silent, claiming that’s the dignified way to go.

But I’d prefer if he came out and admitted that sometimes he’d got it wrong but that was just who he is as a character. Clearly he’s not perfect but there’s nothing wrong with holding your hands up and admitting you’ve made a mistake. Now it’s about using this victory to try and rebalance those attitudes and really show the way.

To be honest, I just don’t know. It’s been such a rollercoaster season for them and it’s hard to predict what Abramovich might do if they keep losing. But they have got this far, so maybe they are taking a longer-term view? A week is a long time in football and what Chelsea really have to do now is build on the confidence of last night.

At training today there will be a different atmosphere and, who knows, there might even be a smile on Mourinho’s face. It’s important that they try and convert all of that negative energy and move it in a positive direction. There needs to be an optimism in the group.

Stoke away is a tricky fixture, but not insurmountable. They played well in the Capital One Cup there but lost on penalties, so they should not have any fear. And if Mourinho does turn things round, I don’t think that will be a surprise to many. He is one of the great managers and now it’s a case of rebuilding the confidence of players and rebuilding those relationships.

I think it was a big moment. There’s been a lot of success gained over the years in that particular partnership between the club, the manager and the supporters. A lot of fans have grown up on Jose Mourinho so it was good to see that level of loyalty from them.

Everybody has been watching Chelsea closely all season and now it’s up to Mourinho and his players to demonstrate that everything that has happened is behind them.

That club has seen so much change over the years but the fans clearly made their point – they want Jose to stay. And I think you could see during the game and afterwards that Mourinho was genuinely humbled by the reaction.

Now it is up to Roman Abramovich. In the past it has not taken much for him to dispense of managers, even Jose in his first spell. The club have stuck with him so far because they know how capable he is. Now they have to build on last night’s result.

Let's jump straight in with the first tackle...
