Mario Mandzukic
Signed from VfL Wolfsburg last summer, Mandzukic has impressed many since joining Bayern, and has scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga since start of the season. The Croatian forward impressed at EURO 2012 and was named Croatian Footballer of the Year thanks in part to his exploits in Poland and Ukraine. Dangerous in front of goal, the 26-year-old was on target in Jupp Heynckes' side victory at the Emirates in February. Arsenal's defenders will have to work hard to ensure he is kept quiet on Wednesday evening.
