Arsenal and Chelsea collide in a massive Women’s Champions League quarter-final that is a first knockout meeting between two sides from the same city.
A clash of London clubs brings together the defending champions and reigning Women’s Super League winners – though both appear out of things domestically this season with Manchester City clear at the top of the table.
That places greater importance upon this competition, and a crunch tie across two legs with a semi-final place on the line.
Arsenal host the first leg and will have confidence from their last league meeting in January, when they won at Stamford Bridge for the first time.
Here’s everything you need to know.
