Bayer Leverkusen vs Arsenal free streams in the Champions League Round of 16 1st leg feature the latest opportunity for the Gunners to continue their hunt for glory on four fronts. Mikel Arteta's side are favorites to win the Premier League, confirmed finalists in the EFL Cup, and safely through to the last eight of the FA Cup.

Bayer Leverkusen will aim to make life difficult for Arsenal on Wednesday, knowing they need a positive home result at the BayArena to stand a chance of advancing to the quarterfinals. Die Werkself have been consistently inconsistent for much of this season, but have improved since Kasper Hjulmand replaced Erik ten Hag in September and will hope top scorer Patrik Schick has recovered from a recent injury to make the squad.

However, this Arsenal team is more complete than most. Arteta's side are capable of winning games in many different ways – though mainly via set-pieces – and their primary goal at the BayArena will be to deny Leverkusen clear-cut opportunities. Expect a controlled display from the Gunners.
