Arsenal will reach UEFA Women's Champions League landmark in FC Zurich clash

Arsenal Women's will crown a historic UEFA Women's Champions League night on Thursday at the Emirates Stadium when they take on Swiss side FC Zurich.

The Gunners made a statement of intent in their first group game when they hit eight-time winners Lyon for five last week and they aim to take further control of proceedings with another big three points against the side that fell to a 2-0 home defeat in match day one to Joe Montemurro and his Juventus side.

Despite the magnitude of the win achieved against serial winners Lyon in Groupama Stadium, the real history for the north Londoners was made back in 2007 when they became the first English team ever to win the competition (then known as the UEFA Women's Cup) that evaded Chelsea and Emma Hayes last year when they were beaten 4-0 by Barcelona.
