Renee Slegers rejuvenated Arsenal side host Juventus at the Emirates: Here's all you need to know about Emirates Champions League clash
Prologue
After a tortuously inteminable process during September Arsenal eventually reached the knockout stages of the Champions League.
This came after dispatching Rangers 6-0 at Meadow Park, prior to a further one-legged clash, this time edging Rosenborg 1-0, prior to ultimately easing past BK Hacken 4-0 at Boreham Wood in a two-legged tie, after losing the match in Gothenborg, 1-0.
However, any hopes that Jonas Eidevall's side would make a mark in their opening match, were humiliatingly dashed with a 5-2 rout at the hands of Bayern Munich in Germany, during a miserbale run of form sandwiched between a dire 0-0 draw with Everton at the Emirates, prior to losing to WSL rivals Chelsea, that sealed the unpopular Swedes's fate, with Eidevall sacked in the wake of the now infamous "Jonas Out" graffiti that was the final straw for the club.

Since that dreadful nadir, the club that has always been at the vanguard of the women's game in this country, has begun to rediscover its form.
The talented squad has been rejuvenated by interim coach Renee Slegers, appointed in the aftermath of Eidevall's depature.
The results have been impressive, with the Gunners imperiously beating Spurs 3-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend to once again prove that North London Is Red, following last season's 1-0 loss under Eidevall.
The victory came after an excellent spell, which started with a 4-1 win over Valengra in the Champions League, prior to 2-0 win at West Ham. Sleegers revitaslied side then gained a creditable draw at Manchester United, denied victory by a late leveller, before dispatching Brighton 5-0 at the Emirates under Friday Night Lights, before routing Juventus 4-0 away last week before success in the North London Derby.
With many now clamouring for the popualr Sleegers to take charge on a more permanent basis - or at least until the end of the season, another impressive result against the Italian giants in North London this evening would go a long way to ensuring such hopes become reality.
Renée Slegers’s side sit second in Group C with six points, with their emphatic wins against Valarenga and Juventus already putting them in a good position to qualify if they post another triumph later
With Arsenal six points adrift in the WSL, the Champions League could provide the club with its best chance of silverware - to go with their 2007-08 win in this tournament, the only victory by an English club in the continent's premier competition, in a never-to-be-forgotten season that saw the team win an unprecedented quadruple.
