Tony Cascarino, a pundit for the New Football Pools (for details click here) has looked at the Champions League and made his predictions.
Liverpool v Chelsea These two sides meet yet again and there`s usually nothing in these clashes. The arrival of Guus Hiddink has improved Chelsea no end and with him on board they will give Liverpool a far harder game. However, I fancy Liverpool to beat them. Rafa Benitez`s side look more organised and have that bit more about them than Chelsea, especially in Europe. Liverpool have already done the double over Chelsea in the league this season so will definitely fancy their chances of going through. Now if Big Phil Scolari was still in charge Chelsea would have a lot less chance of a win but this is a horrible draw for the Londoners. I doubt Liverpool will have fancied this draw too much either but it`s definitely worse for Chelsea.
Cascarino verdict: Reds Run to Continue
And what does he have to say about the other ties?
Villarreal v Arsenal
