During her pre-match media conference on Tuesday, Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor spoke about the improving quality of opposition in the Women's Champions League: "We know the Champions League has a different level and the competition is becoming even more difficult.

"Many teams are able to put in really good performances and, as you could see when we opened the competition against Austria Vienna, it was a tough game because they were brave enough to man-mark us and to expose us to some challenges.

"We found a way to win, but we want to control every game as much as we can, no matter which competition we're playing in."

Real Madrid's match away at Bayern Munich this evening is going ahead after at least 68 people were killed in a train crash near Madrid on Wednesday morning.

All 24 matches in the men's Copa del Rey due to take place on Wednesday have been suspended as a mark of respect.

Real Madrid travelled to Germany earlier this week and trained in Munich on Tuesday.

Sonia Bompastor makes four changes to the Chelsea side who saw off Crystal Palace in their last WSL game.

It's a chance for striker Aggie Beever-Jones, who has struggled for form and minutes this season, as she starts over Melvine Malard.

Katie McCabe and Ellie Carpenter are both on the bench, alongside Sjoeke Nusken as Bompastor rotates to keep the squad fresh.

In comes captain Erin Cuthbert, defender Veerle Buurman and Sandy Baltimore, who impressed as a substitute against Palace.

Chelsea XI: Hampton, Bronze, Buurman, Buchanan, Baltimore, Cuthbert, Potter, Kaptein, Thompson, James, Beever-Jones.

Subs: Peng, Spencer, Bjorn, Carpenter, McCabe, Walsh, Hamano, Dragoni, Nusken, Brown, Matsukubo, Malard.

There are three changes to the Roma team who suffered a heavy 6-0 defeat by Barcelona in their last Women's Champions League game.

Former Everton striker Martina Piemonte is among the familiar names in the starting XI and she keeps her place.

Experienced Italy international Manuela Giugliano is on the bench alongside ex-Liverpool forward Rinsola Babajide.

Roma's changes are in midfield so it will be interesting to see what impact that has.

Roma XI: Baldi, Heatley, Antoine, Doms, Van Dooren, Oliviero, Pellegrino, Piemonte, Oladipo, Greggi, Bergamaschi.

Subs: Soggiu, Jahnukainen, Giugliano, Pilgrim, Ottey, Corelli, Pandini, Thogersen, Rieke, Rinsola Babajide, Vergani, Piekarska.

The nights are drawing in, and that means the Women's Champions League is starting to heat up.

We've got some cracking fixtures to get stuck into on matchday three, including two in London this evening.

In the early slot we've got Chelsea hosting Italian champions Roma at Plough Lane, before Arsenal entertain Portuguese giants Benfica at Meadow Park.
