Arsenal vs Juventus LIVE: Women’s Champions League latest team news and build-up from Emirates Stadium

Russo’s early finish – the Gunners’ second fastest goal in Women’s Super League history – was added to by Frida Maanum and Stina Blackstenius to continue interim boss Renee Slegers’ impressive short-term reign.

Arsenal are fourth in the Women’s Super League, with 15 points from eight games after an emphatic north London derby win at the weekend.

Alessia Russo, Frida Maanum and Stina Blackstenius scored in the 3-0 triumph at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Arsenal XI: Van Domselaar; Fox, Williamson, Catley, McCabe; Walti, Little; Mariona, Maanum, Foord; Russo

Subs: Zinsberger, Williams, Wubben-Moy, Codina Panedas, Mead, Kafaji, Hurtig, Kuhl, Blackstenius, Wienroither, Cooney-Cross, Reid

Juventus XI: Peyraud-Magnin; Lenzini, Calligaris, Cascarino; Bergamaschi, Schatzer, Bennison, Krumbiegel; Caruso; Cantore, Vangsgaard

Renée Slegers, Arsenal’s interim coach, spoke about how she expects Juventus to approach tonight’s fixture. Speaking at a pre-match press conference she said: “We have three or four scenarios in our heads so we have to be prepared for all of them.

“From a coaching perspective, it’s fun because you have one performance and you play against the exact same opponent and the challenge you have in front of you is to try to do better.”

The Juventus boss added: “Compared to last week, we’ll need to be more clinical when chances arise. We’ll have to stay in the game for as long as we can, despite Arsenal’s strength.

“We’ll have to have balance and pay attention defensively, then hope to take our chances when things open up.”

Juventus coach, Massimiliano Canzi, said: “It’s a game with a lot of meaning for us, not least that we want to show we are not who we showed ourselves to be a week ago.

“We know the importance of this game, we know our ability, and we know how to hurt our opponents.”

Arsenal came out on top in last week’s reverse fixture, winning 4-0 at Juventus to move into second place in Group C on six points from three matches.

Mariona Caldentey, Caitlin Foord, Stina Blackstenius and Frida Maanum were all on the scoresheet.

The Blues kicked off knowing just a point would secure a top-two finish in Group B and guarantee their passage to the knockout phase, after FC Twente lost to Real Madrid in the early match.

And Sonia Bompastor’s side maintained their 100 per cent record in all competitions this season, making it 11 wins out of 11 through goals from Lucy Bronze, Wieke Kaptein and a late Eve Perisset penalty.

Arsenal ran out 4-0 winners in the reverse fixture and it should be equally as straightforward this time, as the Gunners continue their mini-resurgence under Renée Slegers.

Arsenal XI: van Domselaar; Fox, Williamson, Catley, McCabe; Walti, Little; Foord, Maanum, Caldentey; Russo.

Juventus XI: Peyraud Magnin; Lenzini, Calligaris, Cascarino; Bergamaschi, Caruso, Schatzer, Boattin; Cantore, Vangsgaard, Beccari.
