[PAULM03]

Celtic v Barcelona
Lyon v Manchester United
Schalke v Porto
Liverpool v Inter Milan
Roma v Real Madrid
Arsenal v AC Milan
Olympiakos v Chelsea
Fenerbahce v Sevilla




I've got a feeling we're going to have an English winner this year. I think United and Chelsea will go through with relative ease and at least one of Arsenal and Liverpool.

Great draw for Chelsea, quite tough for United and Arsenal/ Liverpool are really up against it.

I think Porto could go quite far again this season as I can see them beating Schalke. As for the English contingent well very tough for Arsenal. Liverpool will have to prove that they have what it takes to do fantasically well in Europe as Inter really are the biggest threat to any of the English clubs. Celtic have it tough but will be a fantastic night for Celtic fans when they take on Barca at home and at least in a way they have the home leg first. That way they can get decent result before travelling away full of confidence.

Arsenal v Milan is the pick of the ties for me. At the moment I think the football Arsenal play is some of the best I've ever seen. It remains to be seen whether they are 'physical' enough to sustain it for the whole season but these games should be excellent. Although Milan are finding it tough this season on their day they are a match for anyone. Will Arsenal's passing game be able to unlock Milan's mean defence? Who knows but I'll be looking forward to them next year.

Re the other English teams - Chelsea look to have the easiest draw. Utd shoould win and Liverpool will probably pull off another notable scalp in Europe whilst residing 8th in the Premiership.

I'm positive with that draw vs AC Milan - I think we can beat anyone in Europe when we are playing well.

When we reached the final 2 years ago we beat Real Madrid, Juventus and Villerreal, and we werent anywhere near as good as we are now so theres no need to be scared.

It would be great to have an all English final
