Arsenal look to secure safe passage to the next phase of the Women’s Champions League when they host Belgian side Oud-Heverlee Leuven on Wednesday.
The Gunners cruised to a 4:0 win in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie last week and, with one foot already in the quarter-finals, will aim to finish the job in convincing fashion.
OH Leuven bounced back to winning form domestically over the weekend, but will need nothing short of a miracle if they are to claim a place in the last eight this week.

Arsenal Women team overview
Arsenal Women return to Meadow Park after enjoying a free weekend domestically. The Gunners have all but secured their place in the quarter-finals with a commanding 4:0 win against Oud-Heverlee Leuven W in last week's first leg victory.
The Gunners have been in fine form over the past month, securing five successive victories with 16 goals scored, and clean sheets kept in four of their five wins.
Over a longer period, the in-form hosts have lost just one of 15 previous fixtures, and they should be confident of securing another solid win this week.
Defensively strong, Renee Slegers’ side kept clean sheets in all but two of their last ten matches, and a similar outcome is expected on Wednesday.
Head coach Slegers reported no new injury issues after last week's win in Belgium. Alessia Russo is tipped to earn a recall after her goalscoring substitute appearance against Leuven.

Oud-Heverlee Leuven W team overview
Oud-Heverlee Leuven W face the daunting trip to London after a hard-fought 2:1 win against KVC Westerlo last weekend. Jada Conijnenberg bagged a double as Arno Van den Abbeel's side secured an eighth successive domestic victory.
Competing in the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time in their history, the Belgians struggled to make a great impression in the league phase. Oud Leuven won just one of six games played in the first round, but scraped through in 12th place with six points collected.
Over-powered in two previous games against Arsenal in December and January, Van den Abbeel's side seem unlikely to get on the scoresheet this week. OUD failed to score in four of their last five UCL outings, including both of their heavy defeats against the Gunners.
Head coach Van den Abbeel could make some changes to his selection this week. The Belgian side have no reported injury issues.
