Arsenal welcome Wolfsburg to a sold-out Emirates Stadium this bank holiday weekend looking to reach the Women's Champions League final for the first time in 16 years.

The Gunners and the She-Wolves played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Volkswagen Arena last week and will reconvene in north London to decide who will advance to take on Barcelona.

Jonas Eidevall's side have battled admirably in the face of key injuries this season, with Vivianne Miedema, Beth Mead and now Leah Williamson all sidelined with ACL tears.

And yet in spite of that, they are two wins away from being crowned champions of Europe.

Wolfsburg travel to England with the aim of reaching a sixth Champions League final in the last decade - they have lost their last three and are without glory since 2014, however.

Here's all you need to know ahead of this one.

Arsenal team news

Miedema, Mead and Williamson have been joined on the treatment table by Kim Little, who is also out for the rest of the season.

Arsenal have not played since last Sunday's first leg in Germany and so should be fresh for the second leg back on home soil.


Wolfsburg team news

Having missed the first leg, Wolfsburg will be hoping to have Alexandra Popp back after she picked up an injury on international duty at the start of April.

Marina Hegering could return to the starting lineup having only been fit enough to make the bench last week.

Lena Lattwein is out for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone.


Arsenal vs Wolfsburg score prediction

Arsenal showed tremendous character to come from two early goals down at Wolfsburg last week and will now have the support of 60,000 fans behind them at the Emirates Stadium.

That advantage hasn't always helped them this season, notably dropping late points against Chelsea and Manchester United in the WSL as well as being defeated in N5 by Lyon in the group stage.

There is a collective spirit that has been strengthened by their recent injury woes, but ultimately Arsenal may fall short due to the world-class quality they are missing.

Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Wolfsburg
