Manchester United 1 v 0 Chelsea: Cristiano Ronaldo

At the halfway point in the first half in Moscow, it’s a tense affair, with neither side yet able to grasp the game by the scruff of the enck and get their noses in front. There have been a few flashpoints between the players, including an incident that saw Manchester United’s Paul Scholes leave the field with blood poring from a head wound, and a yellow card to go with it - The Ginger One was very lucky to escape a second yellow card against Wigan in the final Premiership game of the season, and if he is able to continue in this match, he will have to be very careful from the remaining (at least) hour.

GOAL FLASH: Cristiano Ronaldo has just opened the scoring for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side…

Barcelona v Manchester United: Champions League betting preview

Barcelona v Manchester United, Champions League semi-final, first leg. Nou Camp, 19:45 kickoff.

Sir Alex Ferguson takes his Manchester United side to the Nou Camp for the first leg of this Champions League semi-final tie with Owen Hargreaves and Anderson recovering sufficiently from knocks to join Edwin van der Sar and Wayne Rooney back in the squad.

Match Odds:

Barcelona - 13/8 (Ladbrokes)
Draw - 43/20 (VC Bet)
Manchester United - 2/1 (Blue Square)

Liverpool v Chelsea betting preview

Liverpool v Chelsea, Champions League semi-final, first leg. Anfield, 19:45 kickoff.

Liverpool meet Chelsea in the Champions League for the fourth season in a row, and if previous meetings are anything to go by, don’t expect a goal-fest: The previous six legs have produced a grand total of three goals. Liverpool are the only English Club to have knocked Avram Grant’s side out of Europe - not only that, but they’ve done it twice too, in the previous two times these sides met in the semi-finals.
Match Odds:

Liverpool - 13/10 (Bet 365)
Draw - 21/10 (VC Bet)
Chelsea - 13/5 (Skybet)

This is the fourth time that Chelsea have reached the semi-final stage of the Champions League, and they will be hoping for better luck than the previous three encounters, when they exited the competition each time. Liverpool by contrast have progressed all the way to the final seven times, and were triumphant there on no less than five occasions. Chelsea are currently 3/1 second-favourites to win the Champions League (Ladbrokes), whilst Liverpool are only marginally behind them on 10/3 (Totesport, William Hill, Bet 365 and others).
