Ray Parlour believes William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes will be 'key' to stopping Harry Kane when Arsenal lock horns with Bayern Munich in the Champions League tonight.
Kane will be returning to north London following his move from Tottenham to Germany back in the summer.
While the 30-year-old has stepped up and produced in front of goal, Bayern will end the season trophyless if they're unable to overcome Arsenal.
Kane loves notching against the Gunners, having bagged 14 goals against them while strutting his stuff for Tottenham.

Parlour, speaking exclusively to GB News via NetBet, believes the Bayern striker is a danger.
But he believes Saliba and Gabriel are 'key' to stopping the England international as tonight's blockbuster showdown at the Emirates Stadium creeps closer.
He said: "I think Arsenal can beat Bayern Munich for sure.
"It’s so important Arsenal get a good lead to take to Bayern and at home in the Champions League Arsenal have performed really well.
"Harry Kane is always a danger and loves scoring against Arsenal.
"Arsenal will have to keep a very close eye on him and Gabriel and Saliba are key to marking him."
Bayern could start Eric Dier tonight.
Another former Tottenham star, the England international has done well since moving to Bayern on loan back in the summer.
Yet Parlour thinks Dier can be exploited if he starts.
"If Dier plays for Bayern, Arsenal must take advantage as he isn’t the best defender," he added.
"Arsenal are playing well and can take advantage of Bayern’s defensive part of the game."
With Bayern battling to win a trophy, some feel Kane may have made a mistake by moving to Germany.
After all, he joined because he wants silverware. Without it, his dizzying £100million transfer will all be for nothing.
However, Parlour has defended Kane and doesn't think the striker will have any regrets about his decision.
"No I don’t think so," he added.
