Good evening and welcome to LIVE text commentary of another make or break encounter for Arsenal as they visit Bayern Munich in Group F. The Gunners gave themselves renewed hope of progressing to the last 16 with a 2-0 win over the German champions on Matchday 3 but probably need at least a point in this return fixture to have genuine hope of recovering from a woeful start. Victories for Arsenal and Dinamo Zagreb would see all four teams level on six points apiece with two matches to play. However, wins for Bayern and Olympiakos would leave the current top two needing just one more point from a possible six to seal progress to the knockout stage.

90+3'
FT: Arsenal's CL hopes are all-but over after a crushing 5-1 defeat to Bayern coupled with Olympiakos' win over Zagreb leaves them on the brink of an early exit.
90+2'
It's all gone so, so wrong for Arsenal... UPDATE: Olympiakos 2-1 Zagreb.
90+1'
Three minutes added.
90'
Arsenal have NOW conceded five for the first time ever in the CL!
89'
GOAL! Muller puts the seal on Bayern's triumph. The German grabs his second of the match as he breaks free and clinically fires past Cech at his near post.
89'
DID YOU KNOW? Arsenal have never conceded more than four goals in a CL match.
88'
ARSENAL CHANGE: Cazorla off, Chambers on.
87'
Do Bayern have a fifth in them to round this off.. Muller is put clear by the superb Thiago but once more a combination of Cech and his defence manage to force it clear.
86'
Robben the only Bayern player still running at full pelt. He wants to impress Pep! Coman was superb in his place.
85'
ARSENAL CHANGE: 19-year-old Iwobi on for a CL debut in place of Giroud off.
83'
Robben is played clear. He rounds Cech and looks to make it five... but he's well thwarted by a last-ditch challenge by Debuchy.
82'
All eyes on Olympiakos now... Can Zagreb hold on or nick it to give the Gunners more hope.
81'
Arsenal have been the better side in the past 15 minutes or so, but that doesn't really matter given the score.
80'
Vidal with a header that hits Mertesacker and falls kindly for Cech. The hosts half-heartedly call for a penalty but it looked like ball to hand if anything.
79'
Mertesacker wins the header from the set piece but can't direct it at goal. Bayern look to spring forward through Robben who earns a free kick with some clever play.
78'
Arsenal on the front foot. Ozil to take a corner...
77'
Coquelin speeds to the right byline and lays it back for Cazorla, but the Spaniard skews his effort high into the stand.
76'
Arsenal still having a go here. It'd be interesting to see what could happen if they got another back in the next few minutes. Bayern look ready for the whistle. They feel the job is well and truly done.
75'
Neuer comes off his line to try and mop up but plays it straight to Giroud in the centre circle. The Frenchman looks to score from the halfway line but his effort doesn't have enough on it and Bayern clear.
