Benfica put together a slick move of their own, but after side-stepping a challenge Caroline Møller produces a tame shot.

How the former Tottenham midfielder would love to score tonight,

Arsenal are playing some really nice stuff and keeping Benfica under a lot of pressure, but the finishing touch has been lacking so far.

That's been a running theme of their season.

You have to give respect to teams, especially teams that you know might have just a little bit more about them technically but you can do your best to match them tactically.

Benfica got a great result against Juventus and against Bayern Munich, they held them for near enough 70 minutes. I think if they had a bit more quality in the final third they could have ended up going a couple of goals up against Bayern Munich.

An Olivia Smith free-kick from deep on the right somehow falls to the feet of Alessia Russo, but the striker's snap-shot on the turn is blocked.

Had Russo turned, she had Caitlin Foord free to her left.

I would rather have Russo in the box there, in that position. You know Russo is going to stick her head on that.

Geraldine Reutler produces a dangerous cross, but there is nobody in a red shirt in the middle of the box and Benfica clear.

Alessia Russo had dropped deep and couldn't get there in time.

Caitlin Foord wins the ball on the left, nutmegs a defender and plays a low cross, but Benfica manage to clear.

Arsenal are having a lot of possession in the Benfica half and look pretty sharp.

Olivia Smith looks to burst through the centre of the Benfica defence, but is under pressure and produces a rushed shot that is easily saved.

Probably the wrong decision to shoot there.

Benfica are missing their top scorer Nycole Raysla this evening because of injury.

Arsenal have looked shaky at the back this season - can the visitors find a way to exploit that?

Arsenal goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez is quick off her line to clear a through ball, but clatters into her defender Taylor Hinds.

After taking a few seconds to catch their breath, both are fine.

Olivia Smith gets an early shot off following a Benfica turnover, but it's easy for the goalkeeper.

Benfica get the first half under way.

There's a great atmosphere at Meadow Park. Benfica have brought decent support, and the Arsenal fans are giving as good as they get.

On matchday two Arsenal were minutes away from making it two wins from two in the Champions League, but a bizarre mix-up cost them dear.

With the Gunners 2-1 up away at Paris FC, Leah Williamson handled the ball in preparation to take a goal kick. The referee deemed that play had resumed when goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez passed the ball and awarded a penalty, which Paris converted.

The Gunners could do without any costly mistakes tonight.

After claiming a much-needed WSL win against Tottenham at the weekend, can Arsenal use tonight's game to build some momentum?

Renee Slegers' side are already 10 points off the pace in the WSL, but in the Champions League they have four points after beating HB Koge 1-0 and drawing 2-2 with Paris FC.

Tonight's opponents Benfica started their campaign strongly with a 2-1 away win against Juventus, but came back down to earth with a 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Ellie Carpenter, who opened the scoring, speaking to Disney+ about the difference between the first and second half: "First half we struggled to score but we had good opportunities and at half-time the coach said we need to put away our chances. I just tried to help the team attack, go forward and get shots off. I’m happy I did and scored and helped get the team get three points tonight.

"Right-back but I love getting forward, I love helping this team defend, attack, score goals, win, so just do everything for the team."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Renee Slegers, speaking to Disney+ on the confidence taken from beating Tottenham on Saturday: "It's very good for us, its energised us. We worked rally hard, we had to be resilient and the win was so important for us. A north London derby, sold out away section, so very important for the fans as well. It's rewarding for the players but now we have to back it up. Everyone is working hard to get the results for Arsenal."

On the connection with fans: "We need to back it up. That was a really good result for us. There was a fight and grittiness in the performance that was the foundation for the result. We expect to bring that again against Benfica. We want to be robust and tough."

On tonight's XI and first starts for Geraldine Reuteler and Elise De Almeida: "Elise had an injury but she is fully back now, she has made minutes for us off the bench. I'm really excited for her to start tonight. Geraldine as well has had her head down, worked hard, trained well and the opportunity is there for her tonight."

On Leah Williamson dropping to the bench: "Leah has been really good, she has been playing all minutes so for for us. That's amazing, but we have so many good centre-backs available right now. For tonight Elise gets the start."
