The tougher loss was at Fulham, Liverpool are playing too well and pose a great threat

I am still mad that Chelsea have to play Liverpool for the 5th straight year
As of today, Liverpool has high hopes and a fantastic chance to win the league
Chelsea – Liverpool Bayern – Barcelona
Arsenal – Villarreal Manchester United – Porto
Enjoy these solid matches
Chelsea are done, a tough loss to Tottenham has sealed the deal
Looks like Liverpool will challenge United down to the wire, great to see an exciting finish in the league
The task has gotten much harder for the Champions. With Liverpool right behind United, the pressure is on to secure the league. In CL action, the club has drawn easy opponent in Porto and then winner of Arsenal/ Villarreal.
This is exciting stuff
It is one game my friend and no one is invincible in football.

Watching the Roma – Arsenal match should provide enough evidence in this debate. The goals in 120 minutes were rare and these two sides could have played all night.
The four English clubs have shown class, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are all through. Congrats to the sides!
Wow Manchester United look solid from top to bottom. The team as a whole is clicking on all cylinders and will be tough to bring down. if Liverpool does not win this weekend against United, the title is secured for the defending champions.
Henry a God? Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi yes!
The Liverpool faithful will need to pray that United goes down in defeat a bunch of times from here on out otherwise the wait will continue. United are too consistent of the top clubs and deserve to win the title again. Chelsea are poor at times and look three steps behind. Liverpool has dropped too many points at home, that will not get it done
Come on mate, not a chance in the world. Even Liverpool and Chelsea are done. Arsenal would need United to lose and L’pool to fall as well. Not going to happen. Just being realistic.

Tell me about it…
I think the most interesting match would probably be Bayren vs Barcelona, judging by last round. My bets are on Barcelona, Manchester, Arsenal and hopefully Liverpool. It seems like Manchester has the best chance of getting to the finals, if they don’t play like they do in the EPL. Then the final will be Barcelona/Manchester.
But who knows?
