Tied at 1-1 from the first leg in Germany last week, Arsenal rescued a draw thanks to Kai Havertz's late penalty kick against his former club. Mikel Arteta's side then won a draining encounter 2-0 late on at home against Everton on Saturday to take a big step towards winning the Premier League. A few injuries are starting to crop up but there is real momentum building around their quadruple hopes as a favorable Champions League draw has opened up.
But can the Gunners take care of business against a stubborn and dangerous Leverkusen? Kasper Hjulmand's solid team are fine with sitting deep and hitting teams on the counter and the longer it stays level, the more they will believe they can catch Arsenal out on the break. This was supposed to be a routine win over two legs for Arsenal but Leverkusen will make this extremely difficult.

Arsenal team news, focus
Jurrien Timber came off against Everton and didn’t train ahead of this game, so Cristhian Mosquera is likely to start at right back. Martin Odegaard is still missing, while Viktor Gyokeres could start up top after being on the bench at the weekend but Gabriel Jesus will be pushing to start too. Arteta has so many options in midfield and attack and it's all about making the right calls at the right time to tip this extremely close tie in Arsenal's favor.
