Champions League Fantasy Preview

Liverpool (2) v (1) Barcelona
The Champions League is back with some interesting games set up in the second leg of the last sixteen. The fixture of the round is Liverpool v Barcelona with last years champions unexpectedly looking to come back two goals at Anfield. Barcelona are expecting to come to England all guns blazing with Messi, Eto'o and Ronaldinho expected to play. Belleti should be dropped at right-back for the more defensively minded Oleguer. It is a tough call for the Catalans to come back against Liverpool but if anyone can do it they surely can. Liverpool's Finnan will have the toughest test having to keep World Player of the Year Ronaldinho under wraps.

Probable Starting XI:
LIVERPOOL (4-4-2): Reina – Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Arbeloa – Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, Sissoko, Riise – Bellamy, Kuyt.

Probable Starting XI:
BARCELONA (4-3-3): Valdes – Oleguer, Thuram, Puyol, Zambrotta – Xavi, Deco, Iniesta – Messi, Eto’o, Ronaldinho.
