    88' Kafaji comes on for Little. 0-0

  4. Freddie Cardy : 21:40 #5839

    82' Another change for Juventus as Thomas replaces Krumbiegel. 0-0

    74' Double change for Juventus again as Girelli and Beccari come on for Vangsgaard and Cantore. 0-0

  10. Freddie Cardy : 21:26 #5833

    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

  14. Freddie Cardy : 21:15 #5829

    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

  15. Freddie Cardy : 21:11 #5828

    56' Frustration for Arsenal! Foord slips a pass across the six-yard box and there's no player there to meet it. 0-0

  16. Freddie Cardy : 21:09 #5827

    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

  19. Freddie Cardy : 21:01 #5824

    46' Back underway. 0-0

  20. Freddie Cardy : 21:00 #5823

    The teams are back out for the second half.

  21. Freddie Cardy : 20:58 #5822

    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.

  22. Freddie Cardy : 20:50 #5821

    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.

  23. Freddie Cardy : 20:46 #5820

    Half time: Arsenal 0-0 Juventus.

  24. Freddie Cardy : 20:41 #5819

    40' Peyraud-Magnin punches away Walti's cross- she's looked a little unsure under some of the high balls this evening. 0-0

  25. Freddie Cardy : 20:37 #5818

    36' Cascarino is booked for pulling back Foord after the referee had played advantage. McCabe's corner is dealt with. 0-0

  28. Freddie Cardy : 20:32 #5815

    32' Neat control from Russo in the box. She finds Caldentey, and McCabe's cross is cleared by Caruso. 0-0

  29. Freddie Cardy : 20:30 #5814

    30' McCabe's cross lands on the roof of the net- almost an awkward one for the goalkeeper. Better from Arsenal. 0-0

  30. Freddie Cardy : 20:29 #5813

    29' Late tackle by Bergamaschi on Mariona, and the wing-back escapes a yellow card. 0-0

  31. Freddie Cardy : 20:26 #5812

    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

  32. Freddie Cardy : 20:25 #5811

    24' Headed away by Catley and van Domselaar gets down easily to save the follow-up shot.

  33. Freddie Cardy : 20:24 #5810

    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

  35. Freddie Cardy : 20:21 #5808

    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

  36. Freddie Cardy : 20:17 #5807

    17' There's also a good number of Juventus fans who have travelled over from northern Italy to north London. 0-0

  37. Freddie Cardy : 20:15 #5806

    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

  38. Freddie Cardy : 20:10 #5805

    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

  39. Freddie Cardy : 20:07 #5804

    7' Arsenal have started the game with Mariona on the left wing and Foord right. 0-0

  41. Freddie Cardy : 20:04 #5802

    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

  42. Freddie Cardy : 20:01 #5801

    1' Underway at Emirates Stadium! Can Arsenal seal UWCL quarter-finals qualification? We will find out. 0-0

  45. Freddie Cardy : 19:54 #5798

    The teams are in the tunnel!

  46. Freddie Cardy : 19:54 #5797
