Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen LIVE!

Arsenal is set to secure their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals as they take on Bayer Leverkusen tonight. The last-16 matchup is tied at 1-1 following last week’s intense first leg in Germany, where Kai Havertz came off the bench to net a late penalty against his former team, equalizing Robert Andrich’s early second-half goal. The Gunners delivered a subpar performance, falling behind in the competition for the first time this season.

However, Mikel Arteta’s squad is favored to progress on home turf and aim for a last-eight encounter with either Bodo/Glimt or Sporting, having managed to break down a resilient Everton late on Saturday, extending their Premier League title lead to nine points, with teenager Max Dowman continuing to impress.

Arsenal remains in the hunt for four major trophies during what could be a remarkable conclusion to the season, although they will be without Jurrien Timber and Martin Odegaard this evening due to injuries, with Ben White starting.

Leverkusen arrives at the Emirates Stadium after a dramatic draw with nine-man Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, where they currently sit sixth under the management of Kasper Hjulmand. Follow Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen live updates below!

Arsenal makes four changes tonight, one of which sees White return at right-back.

Arteta has frequently emphasized White’s significance, but it has been over a month since he last featured.

He gets his opportunity here, and it’s likely that Saka will be pleased with this development.

They have enjoyed a strong partnership over the past few seasons.

Bayer Leverkusen remains unchanged from the first-leg draw.

Kasper Hjulmand also implements four changes to the Bayer Leverkusen lineup that was held to a 1-1 draw by nine-man Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Exequiel Palacios, Alejandro Grimaldo, Ibrahim Maza and Christian Kofane replace Montrell Culbreath, Equi Fernandez, Malik Tillman and Patrik Schick.

Martin Terrier and Aleix Garcia both shake off knocks to start.

It’s the same team as the first leg.
