Owen Hargreaves is leaning in the direction of Arsenal of their Champions League quarter-final with Bayern Munich, though the Germans are 'harmful underdogs' in the tie.
The heavyweight contest begins on Tuesday night time in north London before the second leg on 17 April in Bavaria.
While this season may be Arsenal's return to the Champions League after a spell within the European wilderness and they're taking over mainstays within the elite of the competitors, they definitely have the superior form of the 2.
The Gunners sit prime of the Premier League while Bayern are 16 factors behind Bundesliga chief Bayer Leverkusen after back-to-back league defeats.

'To be trustworthy, I feel Arsenal may simply shade it with the season that they've had,' Hargreaves advised TNT Sports. 'Traditionally, Bayern have been the favourite in this recreation but they've had a little bit of a difficult season. I feel Bayern can salvage their season in the event that they undergo.
'However I feel in the intervening time Arsenal are slight favourites but Bayern are dangerous underdogs if they get it proper.'
While the season isn't going to plan for Bayern, Harry Kane's first marketing campaign with the membership has been very spectacular.
The England captain has scored 38 objectives in 37 video games in all competitions and Hargreaves says the Germans will want him if they're to get a outcome.
'Harry Kane has been sensible,' stated the previous England midfielder. 'In the London derby he proved he was virtually all the time at his greatest. I feel Harry will probably be delighted to be again in London and he'll try to score the objectives.
'He needs to win a trophy and if they get it proper they might win the Champions League but they want him to be firing.
'Obviously, he needed to go there to win some trophies, thus far it hasn't really worked out, however his numbers have been absolutely off the charts.'
