Lyon v Bayern Munich

Date: Thursday, 27 March (AEDT)
Kick-off: 4.45am (AEDT)
Broadcast: DAZN

First Leg: Bayern Munich 0 - 2 Lyon

Lyon will take a two-goal advantage back to France when they host Bayern Munich on Thursday.

Lyon are the most successful team in UWCL history and are in the box seat to advance to yet another semi-final stage. However, Bayern have plenty of quality of their own and will be sure to throw everything at this match. The German side are currently well on top of the Frauen-Bundesliga and will be hoping to take that form into the game on Thursday.

Ellie Carpenter will be available for this match after being rested for the league game on the weekend.

Arsenal v Real Madrid

Date: Thursday, 27 March (AEDT)
Kick-off: 7am (AEDT)
Broadcast: DAZN

First Leg: Real Madrid 2 - 0 Arsenal

The Gunners will have to produce a comeback for the ages in front of a bumper crowd at Emirates Stadium if they are to overcome Real Madrid and qualify for the UWCL semi-finals.

Real Madrid have been in arguably the best form in their entire existence, overcoming Arsenal in the first leg and then defeating arch-rivals Barcelona for the first time on the weekend. However, at home, Arsenal will back themselves to overturn the two-goal deficit required, especially after a convincing victory of their own on the weekend.

Kyra Cooney-Cross, Caitlin Foord and Steph Catley will all be available for Arsenal as they look to pull off a memorable victory.

Barcelona v Wolfsburg

Date: Friday, 28 March (AEDT)
Kick-off: 4.45am (AEDT)
Broadcast: DAZN

First Leg: Wolfsburg 1 - 4 Barcelona

Barcelona will be looking to make a statement against Wolfsburg on Friday after their first ever defeat to Real Madrid on the weekend.

It will be a tough task for the German side to overcome a three-goal deficit against the defending UWCL champions but it is sure to be an entertainining game as they throw everything at Barcelona.

Chelsea v Manchester City

Date: Friday, 28 March (AEDT)
Kick-off: 7am (AEDT)
Broadcast: DAZN

First Leg: Manchester City 2 - 0 Chelsea

A mammoth four-game battle between Manchester City and Chelsea ends with the Blues needing to overcome a two-goal deficit in the second leg.

Chelsea secured the victory in the league and the League Cup Final in this run of games, but if City can hold onto their lead in the tie and advance to the semi-finals, it will feel like they have gotten one over their rivals in what is the biggest trophy in women's club football. 

Mary Fowler will be available to take the field for Manchester City. Sam Kerr remains unavailable for Chelsea through injury, despite being registered as part of their UWCL knock-out stage squad.
