Recent women's FA Cup winners, Chelsea Ladies will play against Scottish champions Glasgow City after being chosen together in todays UEFA Women's Champions League round of 32 draw. Reigning Women's Super League 1 champions, Liverpool Ladies will play Italian side Brescia.
Chelsea, playing in the competition for the first time in their history, will go into the match with confidence as they lead the WSL 1 and have made a strong start to the Continental Cup, as well as winning the FA Cup at the beginning of August. Glasgow City have been successful in Europe in recent years, including making the quarter-final last year, and so have been seeded for the first time this year.
This will be Liverpool's second consecutive year playing in Europe's premier competition after losing in the last 32 to Swedish side Linkoping last year, just four days after retaining their WSL title. They are seeded this year and so, like Glasgow, will have the benefit of playing the second leg at home.
Reigning champions Frankfurt, who won the title for a record fourth time after beating PSG in May, will play Belgian side Standard Liege. The Germans, who are managed by Englishman Colin Bell, will be looking to defend their title despite losing some of their key players such as Célia Šašić who retired after the recent Women's World Cup in Canada.
The first legs are set to be played on the weekend of 7-8 October, with the second legs the following week (14-15 October).
