Arsene Wenger feels Arsenal could go on and win the Champions League if they can knock out Bayern Munich in the last 16.

Arsenal have fitness concerns over England midfielder Jack Wilshere, who went off at Sunderland last week as a precaution over a thigh problem. Wenger said: "I will not take a risk. [That is because of] the rest of the season in mind and what happened to him before." Captain Thomas Vermaelen should be back from his ankle problem, but fellow defender Laurent Koscielny (calf) will be assessed. Ivory Coast forward Gervinho could be back in contention following the Africa Cup of Nations . "We will play a team who has a good chance to go through with experienced players," said Wenger. "We only have big names in our squad, so it will be a team of big names, for sure." To find out more about live football on Sky Sports, Click here
