It will be Ade up top on his own, Nasri, Denilson, Cesc, Song and Walcott in the middle. Potentially this is going to be a good match with lots of goals!

Pity Arshavin isnt playing / on the bench, just seen these stats:

2008/09 Premier League
Games 9 Goals 6 Assists 4

Or his Arsenal career makes similar reading: Games 12 Goals 6 Assists 8

Vela has pig flu:(
 
I can see a draw tonight, maybe 1-1 or 2-2. Either way i think there's going to be goals.

The bet I've gone with is 2-2 Ronaldo to score first.

£3.50 = £215

£2.50 on arsenal to come from behind and draw = £18.75

Potential winnings of £233.75

Likely winnings £0

Beginning to get the jitters about tonight. Love the Champions League, always makes my rationality go running out the window. Not sure whether to watch it here in uni, with the better atmosphere, but on my lonesome, or with mates in town, where it could potentially be a bit dead. Hmm.

People should really give Barca some credit for stopping Chelsea creating chances instead of just assuming Chelsea didn't want to create them.
Barca thoroughly dictated the play and possession in 65% of the pitch, Chelsea couldn't attack.

Yeah, seriously, this. Beyond Chelsea's one real chance, Barca defended well, passed it about in midfield nicely, and even got some decent shots in. All that was really lacking on their end was some poor decision making in and around the box. They weren't poor in the slightest, they were just contained rather well, and had a little bit of luck go against them.

That's what they reckoned last night too. In fact:

There will be at least one red card. Probably for Chelsea.
Marquez will score an own goal.
Chelsea will try and hack Messi and Iniesta out of the games early.
Chelsea will probably score on the break.
Neither side will keep a clean sheet.

eheh
 
Really nervous about tonight - it could so easily go either way depending on availability / the horse**** SAF pulls out - I will bet anyone Fletcher is playing (even though I would really go with Gimp's formation above and just hope to outscore them in both matches)

What's the minimum result united need to qualify?

There isnt one - as in Utd could lose tonight and win at the Emirates by a bigger score and go through, obviously Utd hope no away goal is scored tonight but it doesnt really matter
