Let the games commence

TWO mouth-watering Champions League semi-final’s take place next week, and both games look set to go to the wire.

Chelsea must score in Barcelona, but after putting three past Liverpool at Anfield, that is certainly not beyond them, particularly with Didier Drogba in such scintillating form. The problem for Guus Hiddink’s men will be keeping them out at the other end, and the loss of Ashley Cole for the first leg is a blow.

In the all-English clash, both United and Arsenal will have added incentive to reach Rome after losing in the FA Cup semi-final’s, but the fact the holders are still fighting for the Premiership might just swing the tie in Arsenal’s favour.

With the second leg to be played at the Emirates, Arsenal will certainly fancy their chances, and having not won a trophy since 2005, Arsene Wenger’s side know that the time has come to deliver.
