Arsenal begin their Group C efforts in the Women’s Champions League with a potentially tricky trip to Bayern Munich.
Jonas Eidevall’s side progressed past Hacken to reach the group stages of the competition and will be bidding for a deep competition run.
But Bayern, Juventus and Valeranga represent dangerous opposition for the London club, with the German side winning the Frauen Bundesliga without losing a game last season.
The Bavarians are five from five in the league so far and will start their continental campaign full of confidence.

Team news
Bayern Munich have enjoyed a day more than their opponents to recover from a narrow win over Koln. Klara Buhl scored the winner off the bench and may return to the starting side with plenty of forward options at the disposal of Alexander Straus.
Jonas Eidevall complained about the rigours of a packed schedule before Arsenal’s league draw with Everton, with the Swedish manager feeling forced into rotation in the WSL. Leah Williamson, Caitlin Foord, Stina Blackstenius, Steph Catley and Lia Walti all appeared off the bench in that game and may press for a start here.
Predicted line-ups
Bayern Munich XI: Grohs; Hansen, Viggosdottir, Sembrant, Gwinn; Stanway, Kerr; Dallman, Damnjanovic, Buhl; Harder.
