Gunners out to continue formidable European form after dominating league phase

Arsenal visit Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night as they continue their Champions League campaign.

That should not faze them, though, given they have not tasted defeat in any competition for 11 straight matches and are making steady progress towards a historic quadruple.

Leverkusen, meanwhile, reached this stage of the competition via a knock-out play-off after finishing 16th in the league phase.

An unconvincing 2-0 aggregate defeat of Olympiacos saw them through to the last 16, and they will be confident of seeing off Arsenal after going unbeaten through two meetings with Premier League sides already this season.

Kasper Hjulmand's side beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad midway through the league phase before drawing 2-2 with Newcastle.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Bayer Leverkusen vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 5.45pm GMT kick-off on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.

The match will take place at the BayArena in Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Arsenal team news

Arteta is sweating over the fitness of William Saliba, who is struggling with an ankle injury which saw him ruled out of recent defeats of Brighton and Mansfield.

That FA Cup victory over Mansfield wrought two fresh injury worries, though, as both Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori came off injured. Arteta cited ‘niggles’ as the reason for both players’ withdrawals, but has not yet offered a timeframe for their return.

Ben White joins fellow full-back Calafiori on the treatment table as he works through a knock, while Martin Odegaard is due out until April with a knee injury.

Mikel Merino completes the injury list after he underwent surgery on a foot injury.

Hjulmand is also dealing with defensive injury headaches, though, with Arthur, Loic Bade and Lucas Vazquez all sidelined.

Their absences will heighten the scrutiny on England’s Jarrell Quansah, who will be left to do much of the heavy lifting against a formidable Arsenal attack.

Pressure on: Jarell Quansah

Elsewhere, striker Patrik Schick is a doubt with a minor muscular injury, and former Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken is out for the month with a knee problem.

Nigeria’s Nathan Tella is also a doubt with a minor knock.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Arsenal prediction

While injuries are continuing to pile up in the Arsenal squad, Arteta will only accept one outcome from this match.

The Gunners are in fine form, and showed their strength in depth last time around as they rotated heavily to face Mansfield and won, largely without issue.

This Leverkusen side’s results have been mixed this season - victory away at Manchester City is in stark contrast with a seven-goal drubbing at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. Name a full-strength side in Germany and Arsenal should hope for a result closer to the latter.

Arsenal to win, 3-1.
