Which English club do you think has the most difficult task?

3 teams will have their work cut out but I think Man Utd have got a real struggle on.

Arsenal always seem to leak goals and struggle at the back especially when Campbell is not around. They must keep a clean sheet and score 2.

LMAO!

If we can beat Juventus who were not beaten at home in europe for 30+ years in 1999 then will sort Milan out no problems.
We are not out of it yet!

Chelsea has got the harder game to me.
Especially if drogba is out for the return leg.

that makes sense because cause you have'nt changed in 6 years time.

I hate arsenal so them coming out of it would be beautifull.

But what can I say i'm an owl, the closest thing we have to eruope is when we go on holiday.

While that is certainly possible they seem to have a huge problem conceding goals and they simply can't afford to do it in this game. No Campbell as well.

Not out of it, but hanging on by a thread. United were completely outclassed, especially in the second half when Milan's midfield took control - and that's against the Premiership's two best central midfielders of recent weeks (Scholes and Keane).

I think Chelsea's away goal could work in their favour - Barca are not as formidable away from home as they are at the Nou Camp. Still a tough task though.

Hand on heart, of the English teams I think only Liverpool will qualify. It happens every year when we come up against Europe's best, but Tuesday and Wednesday's games go to show what an over-rated league the Premiership is.

Liverpool should stroll through.

It's not looking good for Chelsea, but they do have the advantage of playing at home and having an away goal.

Although I doubt they will play as poorly in the home leg, it'll take a miracle to get Arsenal through.

Man Utd are unlikely to beat Milan at the san siro, given that Milan have a superior team with home advantage and an away goal.

I'll say the same thing I said in december....

Amazingly, I can see a situation where only Liverpool get through to the next round of the English teams.

I do think Chelsea have got a really good chance this year though.
