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.
