After losing the 1st CL game at home to Marseille 0-1, Liverpool won the other three CL home games: 8-0 against Besiktas, 4-1 against Porto and 2-0 against Inter Milan.
Arsenal has a 2-1-1 away record in the CL which is quite good in this competition but I expect Liverpool's striking power to get the best at the end.
My pick: home win; won
Chelsea-Fenerbahce
Chelsea surely has an impressive home record even in the CL but this is the opportunity of a lifetime for the Turkish side, their coach and most of their players and they will surely fight for it.
In 4 away games and 9 overall games so far this season in the CL Fenerbahce has only lost one (3-0 away to Inter Milan). This is quite an impressive record in the CL.
The price is just too tempting for me at this stage of the CL.
My picks: away +1.5AH (Asian Handicap) and Fenerbahce to qualify; lost&lost
Good luck!

Watched the Chelsea game and IMO they were extremely lucky (and might as well thank 3rd choice keeper Hilário for his great saves in the 2nd half).
They didn't play well and got an important early goal...everything went their way without them justifying it.
Luck will not always be on their side and, playing like they did tonight, I doubt it they'll make it to the finals for the 1st time in their history.
Cheers.
