Can Arsenal come from behind to beat Porto tonight in the Champions League match
March 9, 2010
Arsenal will be going into tonight’s Champions League home fixture against Porto without their captain Cesc Fabregas after he suffered a hamstring injury during the Barclays Premiership 3-1 win against Burnley and it is currently unknown how long he will be out of action, hopefully not as long as last year when the same injury kept him sidelined for three weeks in December.
This is bound to be a blow for Arsene Wenger’s side who still need to overcome a 2-1 first-leg defeat to carry on in the competition, there is good news that Sol Campbell is due to come back into the squad and the captains band will be handed to goalkeeper Manuel Almunia. The Gunners have welcomed Porto to the Emirateson two previous occasions, scoring six goals in the process and keeping two clean sheets, so the odds for winning are clearly in Arsenal’s favour.

Odds are against AC Milan winning at Old Trafford on Wednesday
March 9, 2010
Manchester United fans will be salivating on Wednesday night at the prospect of former United hero David Beckham appearing in the Champions League second leg fixture for his new team AC Milan.
