ARSENAL VS BARCELONA LAST MINUTE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TIPS AND TEAM SHEETS

There are some truly big prices on offer today in the 2010 Champions League quarter final at the Emirates Stadium. This is the first leg of a massive clash and Ladbrokes odds are indicating that Arsenal definitely has a chance to pull this one off, but they are definitely not in the drivers seat. You’ll find that even Barcelona are rewarding at a very quality price and fans looking to back either team are looking at very solid odds.

Arsenal vs Barcelona is the big fixture in this week’s Champions League clashes and we all expect some solid offense to be played. There is no way this thing is going to end 0-0, and I expect this to be a stern test of Manuel Almunia. There had been whispers that William Gallas is set for a return here and that could really give Arsenal the edge that they are looking for. As you can see below, both Gallas and Fabregas are in the starting line-up.
Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Clichy, Fabregas, Song, Diaby, Nasri, Bendtner, Arshavin. Subs: Fabianski, Rosicky, Eduardo, Walcott, Denilson, Eboue, Campbell.
Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Puyol, Maxwell, Messi, Keita, Busquets, Xavi, Pedro, Ibrahimovic. Subs: Pinto, Marquez, Bojan, Henry, Milito, Toure Yaya, Jeffren
It looks like Fabregas may not play the full game, as it has emerged that he is likely still carrying an injury. Barcelona have agreed that if Cesc breaks down during the warm-up Arsenal will be able to insert another player into his position without having to use a substitution.
Outright betting shows Barcelona at 2.37 to win this fixture and Arsenal at 3.0. The draw pays 3.25 and that may prove a popular selection.
In regards to outright qualification, Arsenal trade at 3.2 while Barca are a slim 1.33- clear favourites to go through. One of the big betting markets for this one is on the higher-priced correct score margins. There is lots of money to be made here.  
Barcelona are paying 26.0 to win 3-2 and 41.0 to win 4-1 or 4-2. They are paying 101.0 to win 5-1. Arsenal pay 26.0 for a 3-2 victory and 101.0 for a 4-2 victory as well.
Both teams are priced quite high to win to nil at 5.0 for Arsenal and 4.0 for Barcelona.
