The Gunners’ Champions League knockout campaign begins in Leverkusen

Arsenal begin their Champions League knockout campaign with a trip to Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night.

Boasting a run of 11 straight games without a loss across all competitions, Mikel Arteta’s men look to be in fine form as they embark on a round-of-16 first leg mission against Leverkusen, who edged past Olympiacos in the knockout stage play-offs to get here.

Undeniably the favourites and with an enviable route to the final, Arsenal have received some positive news on the injury front , which will come as a boost to Arteta - who faces the dilemma of whether to be conservative away from home or go all out in his team selection and strategy now, in a bid to allow some more rests in the return leg days prior to the Carabao Cup final.

Leverkusen finished a mediocre 16th in the league phase and were unconvincing in their two-legged play-off defeat of Olympiacos last month.

However, Kasper Hjulman’s troops from the Bundesliga are unbeaten against English clubs so far this season, having downed Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad and drawn 2-2 with Newcastle, so they should not be underestimated when the action begins at BayArena.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports 3, with coverage starting at 5pm GMT ahead of a 5.45pm kick-off.

Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website.
