Arsenal are hosting Benfica in the Women's Champions League, according to BBC, in a match drawing attention around the fixture. The same BBC report notes that Chelsea beat Roma in their own meeting in the competition.

The BBC coverage also touches on Arsenal's attacking situation. It references comments from Alessia Russo after a Tottenham match, described as the first time the writer recalled hearing her state that she is a No.9. The report suggests she may be growing frustrated in a No.10 role, noting she was top scorer last season while the team has struggled for goals this season.

That context frames the Benfica game as one to watch for how Arsenal set up in attack. The BBC item raises the question of whether Russo's positioning will change, without offering a definitive answer.

What to watch next: whether Russo features as a central striker against Benfica, and how Arsenal's forward line performs as the Champions League group stage continues.
