Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp is looking to make a repeat performance as last season's in the Champions League group stages wherein they topped the group, but they must first deal with a beefed-up Arsenal squad.

BVB have also made key additions during the summer transfer window themselves, bringing in Bundesliga scorer Adrian Ramos and reacquiring Shinji Kagawa, among others, and will look to capitalise on their strengths.

"We want to be as aggressive as we can," said the German mentor.

"We have to concentrate on the main attributes you need when playing football. "

"Then we will have to be tactically clever to nullify their way of playing. After doing that we can bring our own skills to the table. "

Meanwhile, Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is more concerned with the injury woes suffered by his squad, in general, but remains confident that those who will be tapped to fill the void will rise to the occasion.

"The Debuchy injury put us in a position where we do not want more and hopefully we have good news after the scan today that he can be back soon," said the Frenchman.

"We have [Calum] Chambers who can play in different positions and Héctor Bellerín, who I think now is ready to play."

"Bellerín is a boy with personality. He's not fazed by the pressure. That's important when you're a young boy."

"His transitional game is fantastic. He's quick and his final ball is good. He lacks a bit of experience but he's very dangerous."
