Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen: Champions League

Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen meet in a decisive Champions League tie with the aggregate score tied at 1-1 after the first leg, as Arsenal target a quarter-final spot.

  • Arsenal hosts Bayer Leverkusen at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday for their Champions League last-16 second leg, with the tie level at 1-1 following last week's opening match in Germany.
  • Last week's first leg finished 1-1 after substitute Kai Havertz converted a late penalty against his former club to cancel out Robert Andrich's header, leaving the Gunners as favorites to advance.
  • Gunners manager Mikel Arteta confirmed captain Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber remain sidelined, though Leandro Trossard is available after missing the first leg. Arsenal enters the match following Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Everton.
  • Advancing tonight would secure a quarter-final clash against either Bodo/Glimt or Sporting, while Arteta must balance this pivotal European fixture with Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley.
  • Bayer Leverkusen arrives following a 1-1 Bundesliga draw against Bayern Munich, as manager Kasper Hjulmand faces a significant challenge with a lengthy injury list including goalkeeper Mark Flekken and defender Loic Bade.
