If Bayern Munich lose their Champions League clash to Arsenal on Tuesday night, then Thomas Tuchel will reportedly be sacked.
And that will give Harry Kane an added incentive to down the Gunners when the two teams lock horns at the Emirates Stadium.
Kane moved to Bayern confident of propelling the club to the biggest trophies on offer.
They were seen as a guarantee of success, with the England international yet to win a single trophy as he enters the twilight years of his career.

However, that hasn't happened.
Kane has produced the goods in front of goal, with the former Tottenham star scoring 38 goals from just 36 matches - and clocking up 10 assists along the way.
But Bayern haven't done their part as a team, with Tuchel already paying the price.
It was announced back in February that the German would be leaving the Bundesliga titans at the end of the season, having struggled to get the best from his star-studded squad.
They are 16 points behind Bayer Leverkusen, meaning there's no chance of Bayern winning the Bundesliga - unless something remarkable happens at the home of their rivals.
Bayern blew their chance to win the DFB-Pokal this term, too, and missed out on German Super Cup glory back in the summer.
For Kane and Tuchel, that makes the Champions League their only shot at redemption.
According to Abendzeitung, should Arsenal win at the Emirates on Tuesday night, then Tuchel will be immediately relieved of his duties.
And Miroslav Klose, the legendary German striker who has more World Cup goals than any player in history, is being eyed to take over.
For Kane, however, it gives the striker an added incentive ahead of his return to north London.
The England star feels indebted to Tuchel, who signed him from Tottenham back in the summer.
Other Bayern figures would have preferred for the club to go for a younger, cheaper striker instead.
But Tuchel was always adamant that he needed Kane in order to challenge for the biggest prizes on offer.
Kane has shown his loyalty to his manager by scoring with his usual frequency, continuing to establish himself as one of the best players of his generation in the process.
And having already netted 14 times against Arsenal over the years, Kane will be eager to produce once again.

The Gunners are, however, a team completely different to the last Arsenal side that met Bayern back in 2017.
They lost 10-2 on aggregate that year, with Arsene Wenger suffering ultimate humiliation in the process.
Arsenal are flying high and currently sit top of the Premier League table after their excellent 3-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.
Yet while many feel Mikel Arteta is prioritising the league, the Spaniard is poised to go for the jugular during tomorrow night's match.
Arsenal sense weakness in Bayern.
Harry Kane loved scoring against Arsenal for Tottenham and will be out for blood when Bayern Munich face the Gunners

And with quality all over their squad, the north London giants are actually favourites to go through.
Whether that happens remains to be seen.
One thing is certain, however. Kane will be out for blood, as he always is, whenever he plays in front of the Arsenal crowd.
