Away from the WCL for a moment … Tom Garry and Suzanne Wrack have this report on Robert de Pauw leaving Aston Villa.

Robert de Pauw’s departure from his role as Aston Villa’s women’s team manager on Wednesday came amid ­concerns regarding the way he had allegedly spoken to his players, including about their appearance, the Guardian has been told.

It is understood concerns were raised internally about the Dutchman’s allegedly unprofessional remarks and that this was looked into by the club. De Pauw and Aston Villa were contacted for a response.

Chelsea make seven changes from the side that started in the 4-2 win over Brighton on the weekend, with Millie Bright, Nathalie Björn, Erin Cuthbert and Aggie Beever-Jones remaining in the lineup. Twente go the other way, with just one change after their 4-0 win over Heerenveen on Saturday: the forward Nikée van Dijk makes the XI.

Preamble

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to tonight’s WCL clockwatch. While the two Group A games have already kicked off – Galatasaray v Lyon and Wolfsburg v Roma – we’re focusing on the two Group B fixtures: Real Madrid are off to Celtic while Chelsea host Twente.

Admittedly, there’s not a great deal of jeopardy here, with Chelsea and Madrid both through to the quarter-finals. But there’s still a battle for first place in the group, and Sonia Bompastor’s side are still carrying a 100% record across competitions – a crack at the perfect season continues.

Here’s to GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! throughout the evening.
