Indeed, the Blues lost 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg, giving them an uphill battle to reach the semi-final and potentially go on and win their first-ever Champions League title.

It will be even more tough considering that Arsenal are the holders of the competition, and will be determined to get through as well against their London rivals.

Nonetheless, we are expecting an intriguing battle between two fierce rivals, and our predictions and betting tips for the clash are outlined below.

How the bookies view it: Chelsea favourites to win leg

Chelsea are 21/20 favourites with bookmakers to win the second leg, with a draw valued at 11/4 and Arsenal priced at 5/2.

However, the Gunners are overwhelming 2/11 favourites to progress, while Chelsea can be backed at 7/2.

Recent head-to-head: Arsenal hold two-goal advantage

As mentioned, Arsenal won the first leg 3-1 at the Emirates.

Stina Blackstenius, Chloe Kelly and Alessia Russo were all on target for the Gunners, while Lauren James scored a stunning consolation for Chelsea.

Players to watch: Russo to add to hat-trick?

James undoubtedly needs to play well for Chelsea to have any chance of going through, and she added to her stunner at the Emirates with another superb strike in the Blues' most recent 4-3 home victory against Aston Villa.

Russo netted a first-half hat-trick in Arsenal's 5-2 North London derby win at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the Women's Super League over the weekend, meaning she has now netted in three successive appearances.

We like her odds of 9/4 to score anytime with Paddy Power.

Predicted lineups

Chelsea have reported no fresh concerns in the squad at the time of writing, with the likes of Mille Bright and Aggie Beever-Jones need to be assessed ahead of the game.

Likewise, Arsenal have also reported no new concerns, but they will be sweating on the fitness of Leah Williamson.

Chelsea Women: Hampton; Carpenter, Girma, Bronze, Buurman; Walsh, Nusken; Thompson, Kaptein, James; Kerr.

Arsenal Women: Van Domselaar; Holmberg, Wubben-Moy, Catley, McCabe; Little, Caldentey, Maanum; Smith, Russo, Kelly.

Anything else catch the eye?

Both teams were involved in seven-goal thrillers last time out, and with four goals also recorded between them in the first leg, we can see plenty more goalmouth action happening at Stamford Bridge.

Over 3.5 goals therefore appeals to us, which is available at 7/4 with Paddy Power.

In terms of where we can see the result going, Arsenal are on an 11-game winning streak in all competitions, including beating Chelsea twice, and so we are happy to back the Gunners to get another positive result here to send them safely through to the semi-final.

The Double chance of a draw or an Arsenal win is available at 3/4 with Ladbrokes, which is considered a safer bet compared to our other picks.
