Russo does also push right up with her as well and they do switch at times so Russo is in the box. Russo has just got better and better at her movement, technique and clinical edge, which we saw again at the weekend with her hat-trick against Spurs. At the moment, this tie is in Arsenal's hands. Chelsea need to come out of the blocks, score early and really put them under pressure. Chelsea v Arsenal (1-3, 20: 00 BST) Chelsea Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert speaking to BBC Two: "As a player you just want the second leg to be the next day. Of course we were disappointed, a few decisions went against us and we didn't play our best in the second half, but we stayed alive in the tie. "We've still got a big deficit to overturn but if there is a dressing room that can do it, then it's that one in there. " Click 'Get Involved' on this page to have your say Can Chelsea score goals? Yes. Can Chelsea keep a clean sheet? No. Draw tonight. Arsenal through. Pressure on Bompastor. James, Glasgow Chelsea v Arsenal (1-3, 20: 00 BST) Steph Houghton Former England captain on BBC Two The biggest issue I have noticed for Chelsea in recent weeks is the distances in the back line. Being that expansive leaves so much space in between them and the midfield. And it's so easy to capitalise on. It is becoming a big problem. Chelsea v Arsenal (1-3, 20: 00 BST) Arsenal Arsenal forward Olivia Smith speaking to BBC Two: "This is only half time and we know what we need to do to make it to the semi-final - work hard and put a lot of effort in. Renee has instilled a lot of confidence in us that we can win. "Yes you can't [write Chelsea off]. It is a big rivalry and something that I know both teams look forward to, I know I do. We need to keep it controlled in the middle, we are looking at it as a 0-0. " FT: Bayern Munich 2-1 Man Utd (5-3 agg) Manchester United Manchester United captain Maya Le Tissier speaking to Disney+: "I'm fuming to be fair. Two set pieces, it seems like every single game we have been knocked out on set pieces. Same as the FA Cup. It's something we need to work on and it's frustrating. "The performance we put in today, especially in the first half was something to build on and we can be proud. We gave ourselves a hard task after the first leg but we fully believed we could go and win the game. Everyone is just disappointed because we had the confidence to win. " On whether amount of games has had impact: "I don't want to use it as an excuse. Bayern upped their energy in the second half and we didn't quite match it. I don't know why. I don't think the amount of games is a thing. This is the Champions League and we gave our full energy to every game, especially the Champions League quarter-final. "Everyone works their hardest. Deep down we can be proud of ourselves. It's our first one in the Champions League and it's been so special. We have created history. It's very disappointing but looking back we can hold our heads high. " FT: Bayern Munich 2-1 Man Utd (5-3 agg) Rachel Brown-Finnis Former England goalkeeper on Disney+ Bayern just had the depth, the nous, and the gameplan, particularly in the second half. Manchester United rightly won the first half and should take a lot of positivity from that, but second half Bayern put their foot down and in the end deservedly won the tie outright. FT: Bayern Munich 2-1 Man Utd (5-3 agg) Bayern Munich Bayern Munich captain Glodis Viggosdottir speaking to Disney+: "I'm feeling really good. To win this game and go through to the semis with this many people here at the Allianz [Arena], it's incredible. It's what you dream of as a little girl so I'm incredibly proud of the team. "We bounced back and we showed what we are capable of. It's not always easy but we managed to turn it around.

Simon, South West FT: Bayern Munich 2-1 Man Utd (5-3 agg) Bayern Munich will most likely face Barcelona in the semi-finals.

Chelsea v Arsenal (1-3 agg, 20: 00 BST) BBC Radio 5 Live If you can't tune into the TV coverage on BBC Two tonight then don't fret, you can listen to full live commentary of Chelsea v Arsenal courtesy of BBC Radio 5 Live. Join Mark Chapman and the team with kick-off at 20: 00 BST. Chelsea v Arsenal (1-3, 20: 00 BST) Fran Kirby Brighton forward on BBC Two Chelsea players will have been thinking about this all week. I don't think it was a bad performance at the Emirates, but they didn't take the chances that they created especially in the opening 15 minutes. They will be desperate for this game to get going and I can imagine they have spoken about making a fast start. Chelsea v Arsenal (1-3, 20: 00 BST) Steph Houghton Former England captain on BBC Two You can't write this Chelsea team off. In terms of the quality and individuals they have, the likes of James and Kerr, Bronze. If they had taken their chances at the Emirates then it would have been a totally different game. Chelsea v Arsenal (1-3 agg, 20: 00 BST) Ellen White Former England striker on BBC Women's Football Weekly podcast It is a frustrating one for Chelsea because they would have gone in 2-1 down at half time and the whole complexion of the team talk and the second half would have been very different. For me it was a goal all round. I don't think Buurman has really leaned on Codina too much - she made a meal of it. It was a good goal all round. Chelsea v Arsenal (1-3 agg, 20: 00 BST) While Chelsea lost 3-1 at the Emirates in the first leg against Arsenal, they did have two goals disallowed - the first was a controversial decision in which Veerle Buurman wad adjudged to have pushed Laia Codina before heading the ball into the back of the net. Had it stood, that would have halved Arsenal's two-goal lead to 2-1 just before half-time. Blues boss Sonia Bompastor was visibly upset on the touchline as she approached the fourth official to question the decision, later calling for 'more competence' from match officials.

I'm blue blooded through and through but feel we are lacking this year with all the injuries and lack of depth Stephanie, Sheffield Chelsea v Arsenal (20: 00 BST, 1-3 agg) Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Stamford Bridge It's pretty much as expected in terms of the starting XIs from both teams, while Renee Slegers has the luxury of rotating Chloe Kelly and Beth Mead for Olivia Smith and Caitlin Foord. Both squads were depleted last week due to the Asian Cup but it felt like Chelsea were most affected with Sam Kerr and Ellie Carpenter not available for 90 minutes. The number nine position has been a problem for Chelsea this season with Aggie Beever-Jones and Mayra Ramirez struggling with injuries, before Catarina Macario joined San Diego Wave last month. It means Sam Kerr's availability is a huge boost. Sonia Bompastor has received some criticism over her use of her this season. Kerr has played five games in the Champions League, starting three and scoring three so it's easy to see why fans want more. She's found it difficult to gain game time regularly in the WSL but can she make the difference tonight? Bayern Munich 2-1 Man Utd (5-3 agg) There goes the whistle. Bayern Munich are through to the semi-finals for the first time since the 2020-21 season. Manchester United's debut campaign in the Champions League comes to a disappointing end. Bayern Munich 2-1 Man Utd (5-3 agg) A late show of frustration from Maya Le Tissier as she swipes into Linda Dallmann and gets a yellow card for her efforts. Bayern Munich 2-1 Man Utd (5-3 agg) Rachel Brown-Finnis Former England goalkeeper on Disney+ Manchester United have come a long way this season, the signings they made in the summer, the signings they made in January, they need to be proud of this historic achievement.
