Bayer Leverkusen are not even among the top five teams in their domestic league. They haven't play against a strong opponent in the champions league I guess they may not be able to withstand arsenal. Bayer Leverkusen are not in form this season and the only premier league they defeated was manchester city and they couldn't defeat newcastle united at their home. I think arsenal would likely defeat them

Arsenal's odds are listed at 1.52, and it's hard to argue with that. I even think Bayer will be more focused on their upcoming game (also at home) against Bayern, as it's easier to take three points against a demotivated Bayern team, and those three points are more important in the race for a top-four finish than the slim chance of beating Arsenal in a two-legged tie. The only thing that bothers me (I bet on Arsenal, so it’s a question of money) is that Arsenal might not try very hard and end the game in a goalless draw, knowing that they will win at home anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mikel arteta is sacked right away, because he has been supported at the club very well, so this season is his final season of grace, he must deliver the expected result if he doesn't want to lose his job at the end of the season.

I don't certain Mikel Arteta will be sacked. Mikel Arteta has brought about significant changes at Arsenal and laid a great foundation by reviving a long-lost Arsenal philosophy. While Arteta hasn't won a major trophy yet, he has brought Arsenal to a higher level of play. This season, Arteta is likely to end Arsenal's title drought, as Arsenal currently lead the table by seven points over Manchester City. With eight matches remaining, I'm confident Arsenal will win all of them, and at least six more wins are enough to secure the Premier League title.

I don't also see the need why he should be sacked in the first place. Arsenal hasn't been performing well before his arrival and there are significant changes in the team performance. Arsenal is actually topping the premier league table and there astounding performance this season both in premier League and champions League all has to do with Arteta contributions to the club. So am with you there is no need why he should be sacked.

Arsenal will surely win against Everton at home. One reason is their impressive home record this season, having lost only once in 13 home matches. Furthermore, Arsenal will be looking to secure three points against Everton to further widen their lead over Manchester City, especially as the Premier League season draws to a close with eight matches remaining, and they don't want to lose the title again like they did in previous seasons.

Honestly, I admit that Arsenal are always hard to beat at home. But the problem is we’re a bit too tired of expecting something from Arsenal when every season they end up disappointing. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Everton have already had experience ending in a draw when Arsenal played at home. On the other hand, before these two teams meet, Arsenal still have to play in the UCL, and they’ll obviously field all their best players in that competition.

So the question is, will Arsenal also use their best lineup against Everton? If they do, their chances of winning are probably higher. But if not, another draw could easily happen.

The status of these points is extremely crucial to the strength of Arsenal since the match with Leverkusen is due to begin in a few hours. Arsenal can easily succeed should they win this match. Moreover, Arsenal will also receive the points in the Everton match. This can be attributed to two reasons such as the strength of Arsenal and good performance and the second reason is that they are playing at home and can make the most of it. That is why Arsenal can make it through their hard efforts and also they exploit their home that is why they are becoming very successful. And that is why Arsenal is striving hard and winning every match in order that they can have sufficient points and so that no team can take the initiative or undermine them. Arsenal this time is playing in front of us and now the match is also very short and this is only possible when Manchester city wins the match and Arsenal loses points otherwise Arsenal will succeed.

There's no reason for Arsenal to drop points in a crucial match; they should at least secure three points at home to keep their chances of winning the EPL trophy alive. Statistically, they should have won easily, but Arteta must not underestimate their opponents, as anything can happen during the match. Of course, Arteta will field his best squad against Everton, now they must rely on themselves to maintain the gap with Man City, who are currently in second place. The tight schedule forces Arteta to be more serious in every game he plays. Arsenal will most likely go all-in in the Champions League, after which Arteta can continue his focus on the EPL to maintain his position at the top of the standings.

I think Arsenal are the favorite to win the match and I don't think Bayern Leverkusen is at their level right now, but like I always say football can be very unpredictable,  because sometimes the weak or low teams spring up surprises. I will say I am a little confident that Arsenal will win this match, because they are one of the best team in Europe right now and they have a very strong squad and also they have shown they can be very consistent,  so I will be betting on Arsenal to win the match today.

What a complete shame it was the game made by Totenham Hotspurs yesterday at Wand Metropolitano for Champions League, how you can do so many mistakes in a game of that level and not only the goalkeeper it was, the good thing for them is once they are out of the Champions League they can focus on Premier League to avoid the relegation. Is sad but true.

Is sad but true.

The level of blunders made by Tottenham in the Cahmpion League match is embarrassing --- I think the players have no more enthusiasm to play because indeed the crushing defeat of Atletico Madrid will not be able to catch up again in the second leg, so Tottenham must surrender later playing at home even though I myself am not sure they will win.

[Nightwatchmare]

Tottenham still believe that they are going to win the champions League same way it happened for them in the Europa League when they were not performing well in the league and who knows what you think is impossible could be possible with Tottenham so they should keep focusing on the champions League so that if they do not win it they would go and meet Leicester City in the championship if they end up being relegated.

It's too late for Tottenham to realize their mistakes and they to come back from where they are, they have few more games before the end of the season I don't think they are improving soon because right now nothing is working in the team they should just go to relegation and start all over.

It is not bad for a team that is participating in the champions league to dream about winning the champions league, but Tottenham hotspur will not win the champions league the way they won the Europa league last season when they were performing badly in the premier league. My advice for Tottenham hotspur is to channel all their energy in the premier league so that they will start performing better and avoid being relegated this season. Yes, nothing is working out for Tottenham hotspur right now but they should fight hard to avoid relegation because it will be hard for them to start over if they are relegated because they will lose their best players to other teams.

I bet on Arsenal to win despite leverkusen being at home. I do not  know if my decision was wrong. We have not seen a goal in  40 minutes yet. And  I don't see any chance of saying  arsenal played very well. I'm disappointed with Arsenal's performance so far.

Leverkusen were not in good form. So arsenal should have dominated the match. Arsenal are failing to dominate the match. Maybe in the  second half they will change their tactics and  try to win the match. Arsenal are a strong team. If they don't win, it will be a pity, and I will lose my money. But if they want to win, they will have to play better in the second half. Arsenal only had  2 shots in these 40  minutes.

Bayern Leverkusen is a team which I think is going through their struggling time period and there is a lot they have to do for a best and desired place. Because Leverkusen is not successfull in making their place between the top standings and they not even managed to beat any of their strong opponent. So, I think it is very clear that there is no chance for them to have any good position at least in this season. And Arsenal is on quite better place and their performance was also good throughout the season. And making comparison of both of the teams Arsenal has more plus points by their side which is enough to understand that they are on a strong position or a position which is better than Leverkusen.

Despite Tottenham a Premier League club, they do not match the standard of Atletico Madrid, so far this season we have been watching Tottenham in their worst form, many believe that Tottenham closeness to the regulation zone will only be survived by mere luck because there is no difference between how they perform and how the teams currently in the relegation zone are performing.

I also think Arsenal are the favorite to win this match, but Bayer Leverkusen are leading Arsenal, and for Arsenal not to equalize against Bayer Leverkusen till now, is like Arsenal will be getting a disappointing result against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season is not impressive, so Arsenal should be losing  against Bayer Leverkusen, and we are going to see a surprising result if Bayer Leverkusen successful win against Arsenal and Arsenal will make so many gamblers lose their bets. I also bet on Arsenal but right now i am regretting it big time why i even put my money on Arsenal.

What the f is happening with English clubs in UCL? lol
Arsenal almost lost, but luckily they managed to get a draw. If that penalty had not been given, they probably would have lost. Hopefully they win in the second leg, otherwise they will be eliminated.
Same situation with Manchester City, they are already down 3-0. Chelsea is also behind 2-1.
It looks like Arsenal might be the only club from the English Premier League that can reach the next round of the UCL. What do you think?

Well you don't expect English team to rules Europe forever because I remember one particular year when almost all the English team in the competition were actively involved in the competition and even got so noticable to the point that both the champions league and even the Europa League all had an English all finals or atleast for both the champions league and the Europa and even the conference league were having English teams playing but that setting is still gonna change and rotate to some other nations some time soon.

It's been a bad week for EPL teams in the UCL. The Premier League is the only league to send five teams to the round of 16, but none of them have won. Arsenal were held to a draw by Leverkusen, Liverpool lost to Galatasaray, Newcastle drew against Barcelona, ​​and Chelsea and City lost by three goals to PSG and Real Madrid. This is truly ironic. On the one hand, they have five representatives in the round of 16, which shows that the EPL is a very competitive league. But on the other hand, none of the five have won a match. Currently, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Liverpool still have a chance to come back in the second leg. But I see Chelsea and City being eliminated because they are three goals behind. Although they still have a chance, I don't think PSG and Real Madrid will let their goals be broken that easily.

I think great hope is still very much open. This situation is because most of the losing teams played away games. A narrow score is still very possible to catch up. So don't worry, indeed most English clubs got poor results. Arsenal, Liverpool, still seem to have quite a big chance. But for Man City, Chelsea, and Tottenham, their goal difference is too much. It may seem very difficult, but chances are always open for those who will play at home.

Nobody is really remembering Tottenham Hotspur, are they really that forgettable?….. They’re also in the knockout stages and qualified first class 😅…. But their match up against Bayern Munich is the end of the road for them. So Premier League teams are Six in total and yet not one won their game but there’s still hope for some of them like Arsenal and probably Liverpool, I don’t see any other of them qualifying!

[Velvet78]

Tottenham got destroyed in the Champions League and I don't think they are recovering from that gap. Therefore they had better focus completely on the Premier League from now on not to relegate...

I have just checked their upcoming games in the league and seen there are still tough games to play. Every game is tough for them though at this point. I won't be surprised if Liverpool finish them off at Anfield easily up next.

Everyone is just fucking surprised with what just happened to all English teams in the champions league round of 16. Arsenal were just lucky they got penalty that helped them earn a draw against Bayer Leverkusen. Arsenal are the favorite at Emirates stadium but they need to be ruthless when playing against Bayer Leverkusen so that they will avoid a shock defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. I think 2 of the 3 English teams that avoided defeat in the champions league round of 16 can reach the next round of the champions league, and I am thinking these 2 teams will be Arsenal and Liverpool because they will play in their homes.
