Arteta makes four Arsenal changes vs Leverkusen


Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made four changes to the starting line-up for tonight’s European clash against Bayer Leverkusen tonight.

The Gunners played out a 1-1 draw against the German club in the first leg of the round of 16 tie and will be eyeing a victory at the Emirates Stadium.

Ahead of the game, there are four changes to the starting line-up from the 2-0 win over Everton in the Premier League last weekend.

David Raya continues in goal as usual, but there are two changes in defence.

Jurrien Timber is out injured and has been replaced by Ben White at right-back. Piero Hincapie comes in for Riccardo Calafiori at left-back.

William Saliba and Gabriel continue in the central defensive department.

Similarly, the midfield is unchanged. Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze retain their places from the victory over the Toffees.

In the final third, Bukayo Saka starts on the right wing, but there are changes elsewhere. Viktor Gyokeres leads the line for the Gunners.

The Swede scored a crucial winner last weekend. Leandro Trossard is fully fit to start on the left wing. Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke drop out.
