"A win is crucial for each club this evening but for very different reasons. Three points for the visitors FC Twente would see them close in on a play-off spot as they are currently 14th, if they stay in their current position they will be out of the European competition. This is one of their last chances to boost the optics of them progressing as after this evening there is just one round left of the league stage."
"For Arsenal, meanwhile, a win could potentially move them into the top five (depending on other results in this round of fixtures). It would be a boost for their season after disappointing performances in the Women's Super League seeing them fourth in the domestic table. We will hear from both teams before kick-off and the team news will be dropping shortly so stay tuned."
Arsenal hosts FC Twente in a Women's Champions League match where a win is crucial for both teams for different reasons. FC Twente sit 14th and need three points to close in on a play-off spot; if they remain 14th they will be out of European competition. With only one league-stage round left after this evening, the game represents one of their last chances to improve their prospects. Arsenal can move into the top five with a win depending on other results, offering a boost after disappointing Women's Super League form that has left them fourth domestically. Pre-match interviews and team news will follow before kick-off.
