88' Kafaji comes on for Little. 0-0

74' Double change for Juventus again as Girelli and Beccari come on for Vangsgaard and Cantore. 0-0
69' Williamson heads over the crossbar from McCabe's corner- Peyraud-Magnin has looked really uncomfortable claiming crosses and missed the ball completely. 0-0
66' Bennison and Bergamaschi are replaced by Boattin and Bonansea, and Mead and Blackstenius come on for Foord and Maanum. 0-0
65' Mead and Blackstenius are being readied to come on. 0-0

59' Close! Beautiful back-heel from McCabe into Mariona, and her cross is narrowly wide of the target from Maanum. That is so good from Katie McCabe. 0-0
56' Frustration for Arsenal! Foord slips a pass across the six-yard box and there's no player there to meet it. 0-0
53' Juve centre-back Calligaris meets Cantore's corner on the volley but can't get a good contact on it and Arsenal win back possession. 0-0

47' Walti's cross is headed away by Cascarino. 0-0
46' Back underway. 0-0
The teams are back out for the second half.
Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso rings out at half-time, and a strong coffee could be ideal if the second half resembles that first 45- plus, it's absolutely freezing in North London.
A very quiet first half as Juventus show why they have been so defensively successful this season. Frida Maanum came close in the best chance of the half whilst Sofia Cantore has had a couple of efforts saved.
Half time: Arsenal 0-0 Juventus.
40' Peyraud-Magnin punches away Walti's cross- she's looked a little unsure under some of the high balls this evening. 0-0
36' Cascarino is booked for pulling back Foord after the referee had played advantage. McCabe's corner is dealt with. 0-0
35' Another good chance for the visitors as Cantore heads wide from Lenzini's cross from deep. 0-0
33' Cantore cuts inside and her curled effort is saved by van Domselaar. 0-0
32' Neat control from Russo in the box. She finds Caldentey, and McCabe's cross is cleared by Caruso. 0-0
30' McCabe's cross lands on the roof of the net- almost an awkward one for the goalkeeper. Better from Arsenal. 0-0
29' Late tackle by Bergamaschi on Mariona, and the wing-back escapes a yellow card. 0-0
26' Arsenal's best chance of the game! Maanum wins the ball off of Krumbiegel and fires over the bar from inside the box. Looked like Peyraud-Magnin might have got a hand to it but referee says goal-kick. 0-0
24' Headed away by Catley and van Domselaar gets down easily to save the follow-up shot.
24' Great covering by Foord to track back and tackle Vangsgaard, leading to Juve's first corner of the half. 0-0
23' Important header from Calligaris to stop Russo getting a head to McCabe's cross. 0-0
20' Patience was key in the reverse fixture with Arsenal getting off the mark in the 39th minute after Foord and Maanum combined. The floodgates opened up in the second half and substitutes were crucial in Arsenal's 4-0 win. Juventus look well-organised so far. 0-0
17' There's also a good number of Juventus fans who have travelled over from northern Italy to north London. 0-0
14' The first chants of 'Shake it Caldentey' go up from the home fans, trying to inject a bit of life into this Group C game. 0-0
9' Krumbiegel crosses and the ball breaks to Bergamaschi on the opposite side. Mariona is back to shield the ball behind for a goal kick. 0-0
7' Arsenal have started the game with Mariona on the left wing and Foord right. 0-0
6' Fox breaks into the penalty area and goes down but she was the sole figure appealing for a spot-kick, and the danger is cleared. 0-0
3' Maanum finds Russo in the box but Arsenal are forced back towards their defence. Little then beats two players but Juventus can clear from the edge of their area. 0-0

Manchester City are through to the quarter-finals after beating Hammarby 2-1 in a tight game away from home, with Chelsea also through having won against Celtic yesterday.
The BBC have said that around 10,000 fans will be in attendance at Emirates Stadium tonight.
Bayern Munich have drawn 1-1 away to Valerenga after a late equaliser from the Norwegian side. Arsenal will seal qualification to the UWCL quarter-finals if they beat Juventus.
Two changes for Juventus from their 4-0 defeat to Arsenal as Krumbiegel and Bennison come into the side. Juve drew with Sassuolo on the weekend.
So Arsenal are unchanged from their 3-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday, with the Gunners still unbeaten under interim manager Renee Slegers.
Valerenga have just equalised at home to Bayern Munich in the other game in Group C, proving the Norwegian side will be a difficult prospect when Arsenal travel to Oslo next month.
