Arsenal manager Renee Slegers said: “It’s only half-time so there’s still a lot of work to do. That’s how we’ll approach the game.”<\/p>\n

The winner will face Wolfsburg or Lyon in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Manchester United, who made their first appearance in the quarter-finals, will travel to Germany after the match. Lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich<\/span> In the opening leg at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
