Arsenal travel to Germany to face Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday looking for a statement performance in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie.

No team other than Arsenal boasts a perfect Champions League record this season. After topping the league phase standings, Mikel Arteta’s side were drawn to a kind section of the knockout stage bracket, strengthening their chances of making a run at the club’s first-ever title in the competition.

But Bayer Leverkusen will be keen on pulling off the upset. The German side cruised past Olympiacos in the knockout playoffs and with the pressure fully on Arsenal to deliver, Kasper Hjulmand’s men will be motivated and loose on the pitch in what’ll surely be a rocking BayArena.

The Gunners, though, are playing like one of the best teams in the world and with a possibility of winning four major trophies in the next three months, they can’t afford a slip-up on Wednesday night.

Here is how fans across the world can watch the first leg of the round of 16 tie between Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal.
