Arsenal visit Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night at the BayArena in Leverkusen as they continue their Champions League campaign.
Mikel Arteta’s side set the standard in the league phase – they were the only team not to drop a point – and must now bear the cross of being considered the tournament’s favourites as they face up to the round of 16.
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.
