Man Utd Champions League Odds

With the Man Utd Champions League odds on the slide following their assured passage into the semi finals as the are the 2/1 favourites to win it this year. In tonight's game Arsenal (11/10) host Liverpool (12/5) and hope to score their third successive cup triumph over the Merseysiders. Liverpool are however a different story in the Champions League: while Arsenal have enjoyed everything but European success over Arsene Wenger's reign, Liverpool have brushed over inconsistent Premiership form by raising their game in Europe, winning the trophy and ending beaten finalists within the last three years.

And history plays into Liverpool's hands: they have dumped out domestic rivals Chelsea twice in recent years, while Arsenal's last domestic duel in Europe saw the travelling west Londoners pip Wenger's side 2-1 in 2004. Arsenal are however unbeaten in 20 European home matches, and will be unwilling to relinquish their record to Rafa Benitez's side. A repeat 3-1 victory to rival Arsenal's FA Cup triumph last year is 20/1, while a lively Liverpool performance could follow Chelsea's example and snatch the advantage, with 2-1 in their favour offered at a generous 14/1.

Chelsea (evens) meanwhile travel to Turkish tough cookies Fenerbahce (5/2) where the tournament's joint second favourites (7/2 with Barcelona) are expected to cement further English presence in the semi-finals. In-form Frank Lampard will play his 50th match in the Champions League, but cannot match the long shadow of the Turkish team's Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos, who will make his 114th European appearance and is 25/1 to cap it with a rasping opener.
