Havertz haunts former club as Arsenal rescue 1-1 draw at Leverkusen

  • On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, Bayer Leverkusen host Arsenal at BayArena in the Champions League last-16 first leg, with Arsenal facing a third away game in seven days and seeking a positive result for next week's return leg.
  • After a perfect group phase, Arsenal topped their Champions League group by winning all eight matches, while Bayer Leverkusen reached the last 16 after edging Olympiacos in the play-off.
  • Arsenal will reinstate William Saliba, Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Gabriel after rest or injury, with David Raya and Piero Hincapie included in the predicted XI.
  • A positive night would bolster Arsenal's momentum as they pursue an unprecedented quadruple, with Christian Norgaard risking suspension if booked again tonight before the return leg next week and Carabao Cup final.
  • Leverkusen's away form and defensive record — unbeaten against English opposition and with Opta xG 6.17 — make them tough opponents for Arsenal on Wednesday.
