The London side are second in their group with Bayern Munich topping the pile. Juventus, meanwhile, are third with just one win from three and so a win tonight would help their prospects of getting out of the group.

main events
18 minutes: Juventus will defend as if the tournament depends on it. If we lose tonight, we won't be able to advance to the final tournament.
16 minutes: Arsenal's very long build-up with multiple passes backwards and finally a long pass forward, but Caldenti couldn't get to the end of it.
14 minutes: Juventus are quite disappointed at the moment due to their heavy touches in the final third, while Arsenal look more composed all over the pitch.
12 minutes: Ford was released on the right, but Cranbiegel calmed her down nicely and Fox picked the ball up and fired it into the box, but Peyrault-Magnan read it well and flicked it out of the air. .
10 minutes: Juventus' first chance. The whole team did a good job of getting the ball to the edge of the box, but Caldenti was able to see through the goal kick.
8 minutes: Kram Biegel has done well to contain Ford's threat so far, but the Australian international has been the focal point of Arsenal's attack in recent games, so Kram Biegel's job tonight will be crucial.
6 minutes: All Arsenal so far, the last chance came from Fox, but her cross was cleared.
4 minutes: Mahnum showed a fierce attack and defense on the right side, and he did a great job of keeping it and finding the pass. There was some good work early on for Arsenal, although the chances were ultimately squandered by the visiting team.
2 minutes:Both teams are doing well so far, but William asked via email:
What do you think about Arsenal's team? Losing Miedema would have felt unfair in the past, but the team seems to have settled in recently and has great options on the bench. What year are they?
They have definitely improved under Renee Sleggers and are regaining some form, but I don't think they will win the Champions League or WSL this season. There are some expectations for the FA Cup and League Cup. If they appoint the right manager next season, they might be able to make a leap forward.
kick off! Arsenal 0-0 Juventus
Let's go.
News from elsewhere in the sport:

We would love to hear your thoughts. Please contact us by email. Please let us know what you're up to while keeping up to date with this fixture.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Canzi said of Arsenal: “Compared to last week, we will have to be more calm when the chances come. Despite Arsenal's strength, we have to stay in the game as long as possible. Of course, after the home game We've talked about it and we know we can do more.”
arsenal's emily fox spoke about the team's confidence: And I think the whole team feels a sense of unity.
“Every game has been very difficult and we have learned from each game, made sure we took our chances and learned from our problems at the beginning of the season. “As Renee said, tomorrow is another game, another one. I think it's going to be a challenge, but I think we're up to it. And I think the variety of games we've played and the opponents we've played has made us more confident in the sense that we can handle anything. .”
We asked Renee Slegers about the challenge. It involves playing the same team twice a week. she said: “They know us well now, and we know them well. It's a guessing game of what they would tweak and what they would do differently. I think we're a little bit further into the group stage now, but what kind of mindset do they have, what do they want to achieve in this match and how are they going to strive for it? How to achieve?
“So we've been looking at some scenarios that we think they might do. I think we have three or four scenarios in our heads, so we're preparing for all of them. From a coaching standpoint, I think it's fun because you're playing against the exact same opponent in one performance and the challenge in front of you is trying to do better.”
