Arsenal welcome Bayer Leverkusen to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night for the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash.
The Gunners got the better of Everton last time out, defeating the Toffees 2-0 to go nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table. Max Dowman stole the show as he helped create Viktor Gyökeres' opening goal late on before making history with his first ever goal for his boyhood club to secure the three points.
With a place in the quarter-finals at stake, Mikel Arteta is going to field the strongest side possible against Leverkusen, but there could be a few changes to the team that started the match against the Merseyside outfit.
Here's how Arsenal could line up tonight.

### Goalkeeper & Defenders
**David Raya (GK) -** Enough said. He's the number one choice for games of this calibre.
**Ben White (RB) -** He is ready to make his comeback and will be thrown in as a starter with Jurrien Timber absent due to injury.
**William Saliba (CB) -** Struggled in the first leg, but he will be looking to bounce back after keeping a clean sheet at the weekend.
**Gabriel Magalhaes (CB) -** Will be an obvious starter as he looks to be a dominant force in the backline.
**Piero Hincapié (LB) -** Reduced to a substitute appearance against Everton, but will return to the starting XI against his parent club after assisting the opening goal on Saturday.
### Midfielders
**Martin Zubimendi (CM) -** Starting in midfield once again, he will play in his usual deeper role to protect the backline and help orchestrate play.
**Declan Rice (CM) -** He will play slightly more advanced than Zubimendi and will be aiming to cause his usual problems.
**Kai Havertz (AM) -** Remaining in the starting lineup, but dropping to a creative midfield role, he will play in behind the striker and look to pull the strings against his former side.
### Forwards
**Bukayo Saka (RW) -** His form has been pretty dire in recent weeks, but he will remain a starter on the right flank with the hopes of improving his performances.
**Viktor Gyökeres (ST) -** After netting the opener against Everton, he will come back in as the starting striker this evening.
**Gabriel Martinelli (LW) -** His work as a substitute in the win over the Toffees didn't go unnoticed and that should earn him a return to the XI.
