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.

Can Chelsea beat their former boss in the Champions League last 16?
February 23, 2010
The first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League starts for Chelsea on Wednesday and they must travel to the imposing San Siro stadium in Italy to take on Inter Milan. The press and fans will be very excited with this fixture as ex Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and his current side will meet up in what is sure to be an exciting game.
Chelsea players will be looking for the headlines to be on what happens on the pitch and not on the sex scandals of John Terry and Ashley Cole that are currently dominating the press. It has been reported that they have cost Ashley Cole 2 weeks wage, quite a hit when you are on £100,000 a week!
Both teams look quite evenly matched and that is what the bookies are thinking with no side having the advantage, Chelsea should have Frank Lampard back on board following his recovery from a virus infection that kept him out of the Chelsea win at the weekend over Wolves.
