Arsenal v Manchester City - Barclays Women — Man City Women host Paris Women on Thursday.

Man City welcome Paris to the Academy Stadium for the second leg of their UEFA Women's Champions League qualification tie on Thursday. The hosts hold a comfortable lead in the tie following their 5-0 win in the first leg in France last week.

Vivianne Miedema, Mary Flower, Chloe Kelly and Jessica Park (brace) scored in the rout.

City followed up their continental victory with a 2-2 draw at Arsenal in the Women's Super League on the same day that both sides' respective men's teams played out a 2-2 draw in a tempestous Premier League game at the Etihad.

Frida Leonhardsen-Maanum broke the deadlock in the eighth minute while Miedema equalised three minutes before half-time. Park put the Mancunians ahead before Bethany Mead equalised to ensure both sides shared the spoils in their opening league game.

Paris, meanwhile, thrashed Guingamp 6-0 away in the French Premier Ligue. Clara Mateo and Maelle Garbino scored braces, while Gaetana Thiney and Kessya Bussy also got on the scoresheet.

Man City Women vs Paris Women Prediction

City can start looking forward to the group stage draw, having claimed an almost unassailable five-goal lead in the first leg. Gareth Taylor's side are heavy favourites and might prioritise their focus on the weekend league clash with Brighton.

Paris, for their part, saw off Sparta Prague and First Vienna in the previous rounds of the qualifiers to get to this stage. However, their run is likely to come to an end here unless Sandrine Soubeyrand's side can complete a comeback for the ages.

Expect the hosts to claim a comfortable victory and also keep a clean sheet.

Prediction: Man City 3-0 Paris
