Who's gonna win the big mid-week battles?

European Champions League 2nd Round 2nd leg this week! Can't wait! Some biiiig battles for the UK teams, but who do I think will come out ontop?

Well here are my predictions:

1. Arsenal v Madrid - I reckon Arsenal could get a big scare here and might even get turned over. Let's face it they should have finished things off in the first leg. But I think, if Thierry is on form, they will do enough to scrape through...


2. Barca v Chelski - can only see 1 winner here. Cheski need to win at least 2 nil. And if Barca score - which is highly likely - Chelski will need to win the game and score at least 3 goals, or win 2-1 to take it to penalties. I predict lost more fireworks, but Barca to get revenge for last year's scandalous winning goal by the Chelsea cheats.

3. Liverpool v Benfica - hmmmm, the Reds were unlucky to lose a last-minute goal in the first leg. I can see a barnstorming, high-pressure performance from them at home, but the fear is that Benfica will hit them on the break...could go right to the wire this one, but I reckon the Reds will do it.

4. Villareal v Rangers - sorry Rangers, but this is where your season finally ends. At least you got further than Man U!!!

Anyway, wha'dya think folks? Let me have your own thoughts and we'll compare notes on Thursday
