Full time: Juventus 0-4 Arsenal!
90+4' Easy save for van Domselaar to deny Bonasea. 0-4
90+1' Into stoppage time. 0-4
87' Goal! Foord makes it four! Far too much space for Kyra Cooney-Cross in the box and she squares to Foord for a tap-in. 0-4
85' Laia Codina and Kyra Cooney-Cross replace Lia Walti and Emily Fox. 0-3
83' If Blackstenius' goal wasn't the decider, that one surely is. This will be a very impressive away UWCL victory for the Gunners. 0-3
80' Goal! Hurtig does really well to cross from a narrow angle, Juventus don’t deal with it and Mariona steadies herself before finding the roof of the net. That should be the game. 0-3
79' Juventus had just started to move the ball around a little easier and we're always in the game at 0-1. That's a huge goal by the substitute Blackstenius and Arsenal are good value for an excellent away win if they can hold on. 0-2
77' Lina Hurtig comes on against her former club, replacing Alessia Russo. 0-2
75' GOAL! That's a crucial one. Blackstenius bursts into the box and fires past Peyraud-Magnin, who got a hand to it but the shot was too powerful! 0-2
74' Juventus are enjoying a good spell of possession as they try and find a foothold in this game. All the while the deficit is just one, Max Canzi's side are very much still in it. 0-1
70' Double change for Juventus as Kullberg and Bennison replace Calligaris and Schatzer, who had just been booked. 0-1
69' The goalkeeper now goes down to allow for a tactical timeout as both sides regroup by their dugouts. 0-1
66' van Domselaar then has to save well down low to deny Vangsgaard after she found some space. 0-1
65' After the wall steal a few yards and are told off, McCabe's delivery is headed back across goal by Foord before Williamson heads over! 0-1
64' Williamson makes an underlapping run down the right and wins a free-kick over by the long jump sandpit! The joys of an athletics stadium. 0-1
60' Beth Mead and Frida Maanum are replaced by Mariona and Stina Blackstenius. 0-1
59' Close! Fox hits the crossbar as Arsenal almost double their lead. 0-1
58' Arsenal players are queuing up to shoot here- Williamson's header is saved before McCabe sees her shot blocked, all from a corner that Juventus didn't deal with. 0-1
54' Vangsgaard does well to beat Williamson to the ball and race down the left wing but her cross is scooped up by van Domselaar. 0-1
50' Crucial defensive header from Fox just as Beccari was looking to head an effort towards goal. 0-0
47' Russo breaks into the box down the right side and goes down but there's no appeal, nor penalty. 0-1
46' The second half is underway with both sides unchanged. 0-1
Juventus are out first for the second half as the temperature drops in Biella.
A win will put Arsenal joint-second in Group C ahead of Bayern Munich's meeting with Valerenga later this evening.
A really well-worked goal separates the two sides and Arsenal deserve their lead- Frida Maanum with yet another Champions League strike!
Half time: Juventus 0-1 Arsenal Women
45+1' Two added minutes. 0-1
43' Foord can drive down the left and her cross flies through the box to Mead. It's recycled back in before Maanum goes down injured. 0-1
39' Goal! Lovely link up between Little and Foord and Maanum’s delicate effort just has the power to creep into the far corner! 1-0 to the Arsenal.
36' Lenzini now avoids a yellow card after blatantly dragging back Foord, who turned 30 yesterday. 0-0
33' Foord is penalised for a very small push on Beccari. The referee has not been Arsenal's friend so far. 0-0
31' A couple of early scares for Arsenal but they’ve dominated this opening half hour ever since, creating some decent chances. Goalless after 30 minutes. 0-0
28' Maanum can break into the box but crosses into Peyraud-Magnin's arms. 0-0
26' Good defending by Calligaris to cover Russo and clear for a throw-in before Cascarino has to smash the ball away from the feet of Mead before she could shoot. 0-0
23' What an effort from Fox on her left foot! It's tipped over brilliantly by Peyraud-Magnin, and the referee... gives a goal kick. 0-0
20' Russo is again involved in the area and Peyraud-Magnin gets down to save from her rather tame effort. Arsenal have been the better team after some early scares. 0-0
18' Credit to the home fans who are making themselves heard thanks to their megaphone and a drum, led by a fan belting out chants that are politely joined in with by the crowd. 0-0
15' Little then slid the ball in towards Russo but it hit the heel of referee Jelena Cvetkovic and Arsenal have to settle for an uneventful drop ball. 0-0
15' Arsenal win a corner after Mead's cross is headed behind at the back post. 0-0
13' Maanum cuts inside and is well challenged by two defenders before Peyraud-Magnin has to get down sharply to Russo's first-time effort. 0-0
12' The goalkeeper is able to continue as the travelling Arsenal fans make themselves heard on the far side of the ground! 0-0
10' Fox can drive through the middle and plays Russo in behind but Peyraud-Magnin is out quickly to smother. She's hurt in the process. 0-0
8' A real opportunity for Juventus as Bergamaschi has loads of space after being played through by Beccari but she shoots straight at van Domselaar. 0-0
6' McCabe goes for goal from the free-kick and her shot is well kept out by former Arsenal keeper Peyraud-Magnin! 0-0
5' Mead wins a free-kick after a handball. There's a real conference over who will take... 0-0
3' Just wide! Cantore gets in behind and her shot takes enough of a nick off van Domselaar to be diverted past the far post. 0-0
1' We are underway in Arsenal's third group stage fixture! 0-0
Juve's club anthem (I guess) is being blasted out of the speakers- I presume it is anyway, as Juve and Amore have been rhymed together!
The teams are in the tunnel!
Over 200 Arsenal fans have made the journey to Biella, a small city in the foothills of the Alps, a good 80km from Juventus' home in Turin!
Juve sit top of Serie A, four points clear of Fiorentina, having had five years of league success ended by Roma last season, leading to Joe Montemurro (another familiar face)'s departure.
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin starts against her former side.
Juventus hand 19-year-old Eva Schatzer a start in midfield alongside captain Arianna Caruso.
So Arsenal make one change from the side that put five goals past Brighton on Friday night, with van Domselaar replacing Zinsberger in goal.
Juventus subs: Capelletti, Proulx, Kullberg, Lehmann, Rosucci, Girelli, Bonansea, Bennison, Bragonzi, Thomas, Krumbiegel, Gallo.
