Arsenal Women and Bayern Munich Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League fixture on Wednesday (December 18th). The game will be played at Meadow Park.
The home side will be looking to build on the 1-0 away win they registered over Liverpool in the Women's Super League over the weekend. Alessio Russo broke the deadlock in the 20th minute and her goal proved to be the match-winner despite Mariona Caldentey's missed penalty seven minutes later.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, saw off Potsdam with a routine 2-0 home win in the Frauen-Bundesliga. Carolin Simon's brace inspired her side to all three points.
The Bavarians will shift their attention to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a 4-0 home win over Juventus. Arsenal defeated Valerenga wth a 3-1 away win.
The win left the Gunners in second spot in Group C with 12 points to show for their efforts in five games. Bayern lead the way with 13 points to their name.

Bayern Munich, for their part, need only a draw to preserve their spot at the summit to ostensibly get a more favorable draw in the knockout rounds. Alexander Straus' side thrashed the Londoners despite going behind in the reverse fixture, highlighting the threat they pose.
