Chelsea and Arsenal set for mouth-watering quarter-final ties in Women's Champions League

Chelsea will face reigning European champions Lyon in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League while Arsenal are set to take on Bayern Munich.

Chelsea topped Group A in impressive fashion to reach the knockout stages, going unbeaten and amassing the most points of any side in the competition. Arsenal also emerged as winners in Group C, beating both Lyon and Italian giants Juventus in the process.

The fact that both sides finished top of their respective Champions League groups meant that they couldn't be drawn against each other at the quarter-finals stage.

Chelsea are enjoying another stellar campaign under Emma Hayes but will face stern competition from their French opponents, who have won the Champions League a record-breaking eight times. The Gunners meanwhile will hope they can replicate their impressive domestic form against Bayern, who are currently third in the Frauen-Bundesliga.

Elsewhere, last year's runner's-up Barcelona are up against Group B runner's-up Roma, while Group B winners Wolfsburg will take on Group A runner's-up Paris St. Germain.

The first legs of the quarter-finals are set to take place on March 21 and 22 and will be hosted by the group stage runners-up. The second legs will commence a week later on March 28 and 29.

If Arsenal defeat Bayern Munich in the quarter-final stage, they face a semi-final clash with one of PSG or Wolfsburg. If Chelsea triumph over Lyon, they will face the quarter-final victor of Barcelona versus Roma.

The first legs of the semi-finals take place on April 22 and 23 with the second legs following on April 29 and 30.
