Bayer Leverkusen vs Arsenal: Preview
Hjulmand has helped to steady the ship since Erik ten Hag's early sacking, with Leverkusen now into the knockout stages of the Champions League and 6th in the Bundesliga table at present.
The German side will have to be at their very best to disrupt Arsenal's tip-top form in Europe, and they are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions heading into this one.
A 3-3 draw with Freiburg at the weekend wasn't the ideal preparation, as former Dortmund man Matthias Ginter notched a late equaliser in that six-goal encounter.
Mark Flekken (knee), Loic Bade (hamstring), Arthur (ligament), Lucas Vazquez (calf), Eliesse Ben Seghir (calf), Nathan Tella (foot) and Patrik Schick (muscle) are in the infirmary and expected to play no part.

Arsenal booked their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a narrow victory over Mansfield Town on Saturday, thanks to Eberechi Eze's 66th-minute winner.
That result means Mikel Arteta's side are still going strong on all four fronts this season, with the narrow chance of a quadruple still within reach.
The Gunners head to Germany full of confidence and are now unbeaten in 11 after that 3-2 loss against Manchester United at the Emirates back in January.
Eight wins from eight in the league phase gives them a healthy spring in their step ahead of this one, although William Saliba (ankle), Martin Odegaard (knee) and Ben White (knock) are doubts for Wednesday.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 Arsenal
FourFourTwo thinks this may be tighter than most expect but we still think Arteta's men will win again in Europe.
