Arsenal Women turn their attention to continental affairs on Wednesday when they take on Oud-Heverlee Leuven W in Belgium.

Oud-Heverlee Leuven W team overview
Oud-Heverlee Leuven W turns their attention to the Women's Champions League after a decisive 3:1 win at title-rivals Anderlecht last weekend. Despite falling behind in the second minute, Arno Van den Abbeel's side showed their quality to secure an excellent away victory.
Domestically, OH have been in excellent form, recording eight wins while losing just one of ten league fixtures. Leuven sit at the top of the Belgian Women's Super League, now two points ahead of Anderlecht.
In the Champions League, OH have proven not to be pushovers, with one win and three draws collected. Five games into the campaign, the Belgians sit 12th in the 18-team league, narrowly inside the qualification positions.
Head coach Van den Abbeel is likely to stick with the same side that eased past Anderlecht last weekend. The Belgians have no reported injury issues.

Arsenal Women team overview
Arsenal arrive in Belgium in high spirits after a convincing 3:1 win at Everton in the English Women's Super League. Top scorer Alessia Russo was on the scoresheet as the Gunners claimed a well-deserved win at Goodison Park.
Renee Slegers's side have been in excellent form, with victories collected in each of their last four fixtures. Over a longer period, the Gunners won seven and lost just one of their last ten matches, including back-to-back home wins against Real Madrid and Twente in the Champions League.
Often involved in high-scoring outcomes, four of Arsenal's last six games finished with over 2.5 goals scored. An average of 2.8 goals per game were scored in their five UCL matches this season.
Head coach Slegers has no new injury issues. Daphne van Domselaar and forward Chloe Kelly are the only confirmed absentees for the visitors.
