The late Robert Lewandowski strike, on matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League, left a bad taste in the mouth of Arsenal, as Borussia Dortmund was able to escape a with a 2-1 thriller at the Emirates Stadium.

Dortmund mentor Jurgen Klopp opines that in-game adjustments will be the key for both teams, as each has acquired a certain degree of familiarity of what the other employs.

"I don't think it's possible to surprise anyone at this level any more," Klopp told uefa.com.

"If we find our game, that could also suit the way Arsenal play."

"But in the match in London there were also moments where they [Arsenal] did manage to find that tiny gap and where small things could have made a difference."

Playing at home against the Gunners will not make much of a difference, according to Klopp, because of their quality.

"How we cope with them depends on us," Klopp reiterated.

"If they prove stronger away than they were at home then it will also have been down to us. When we bring our qualities on the pitch, it is certainly not easy to play us here."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will try to avoid the mistakes committed in the previous leg by paying attention closely to BVB striker Robert Lewandowski and their counterattack.

"[Robert] Lewandowski is quite dangerous at home, but it is down to us to control the ball, that's the best way to keep them quiet. We try to control the game and have the ball," Wenger revealed.

"We maybe lost the first game because we wanted to absolutely win it at all costs and we exposed ourselves," he added.

"It was a midfield battle and we got caught on the counterattack because we were all up front and were not happy with the draw."
