Real Madrid  
Juventus  
Villareal  
Bayern

And not sure on Arsenal and Man U, both Roma and Inter have a major chance.

Picks in bold.

**Arsenal** -Roma  
**Atletico** -Porto  
Lyon- **Barcelona**  
**Inter** -ManU  
**Chelsea** -Juventus  
**Villareal** -Panathinaikos  
Sporting- **Bayern**  
**Real Madrid** -Liverpool

Arsenal-Roma is a tough call. Arsenal’s fielding a weakened side, with Fabregas, Walcott, and Adebayor injured, and Arshavin (who looked great this past weekend) is ineligible. Meanwhile, Roma’s league form has been excellent. I’d be happy with a 0-0 draw, to be honest.
