Group A

Sam Kerr's Chelsea will look to hold on to their place at the top of the ladder and qualify first out of the group when they take on PSG in their final group stage game, with both sides already booking their spot in the final eight.

Lydia Williams' Paris Saint-Germain went down 1-0 in Matchday 1 of the UWCL, with Millie Bright scoring the only goal in the encounter. 

PSG trails Chelsea by three points and so must win by two goals or more to overtake the Blues on head-to-head record and qualify first in the group. 

The quarter-final draw, set for the 10th of February, will see the four group winners seeded and drawn against the four group runners-up.

Group C

Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord's Arsenal booked their spot in the next stage of the UWCL last week, despite going down 1-0 to Lyon.

The Gunners are through to a record 15th quarter-final, and they will be aiming to finish the group stage in first place in the standings knowing if they fail to triumph over point-less Zürich, that could leave the door open for either Lyon or Juventus to leapfrog them into first. 


Meanwhile, Ellie Carpenter's reigning UWCL champions, Lyon, are still fighting for the last spot in the next stage when they host Juventus. 

The last meeting between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw, and Lyon will go through if they avoid defeat against Juventus.

Group D

Lastly, Teagan Micah's FC Rosengård will play their last game of the season when they face Barcelona. 

The Swedish side is unable to finish in the top two but could influence the standings of the Group standings if they keep Barca to a draw. 


Micah did not appear in Rosengård's last UWCL outing after sustaining an injury in their 3-1 loss to Benfica.
