Arsenal will look to maintain their dream of an unprecedented quadruple when Bayer Leverkusen visit the Emirates for the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on Tuesday night.
Mikel Arteta’s side regained parity late on in last Wednesday’s first leg when Kai Havertz’s penalty cancelled out Robert Andrich’s opener.
Arsenal will now be looking to continue building momentum against their Bundesliga visitors by setting up a quarter-final against Bodo/Glimt or Sporting Lisbon.
The Gunners are on a high after 16-year-old Max Dowman inspired a late win over Everton on the weekend, taking the side nine points clear at the top of the Premier League.
