Chelsea can book their place in the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals this evening with a victory away to Wolfsburg, a result that would guarantee them automatic qualification from their group.
The London side go into the match knowing that three points would remove any uncertainty ahead of the final round of fixtures.
Elsewhere, the situation is more complicated for the holders Arsenal, who travel to Belgium to face Leuven.
A win is essential if they are to keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive, but it would not be enough on its own.
Arsenal would also need results in other group matches to fall in their favour in order to progress.
Manchester United face a similar challenge as they visit Juventus in Italy.
Like Arsenal, United must secure a victory and rely on outcomes elsewhere if they are to remain in contention for the knockout stages.
With qualification scenarios still finely balanced for several teams, tonight’s matches could prove decisive in shaping the final quarter-final line-up of this season’s Women’s Champions League.
