Prediction

After their convincing quarter-finals result over Bayern Munich - and with Man Utd's form floundering - La Liga leader's Barcelona are now the team to beat in this season's Champions League. They are also odds-on favourites to take their domestic title, with the Spanish giants four points clear of second place Real Madrid.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are now 100/1 outsiders to win the Premier League, sitting third and trailing leaders Man Utd by six points. In spite of this, the Blues are into the final of the FA Cup after an impressive victory over fellow Champions League semi-finalists Arsenal.

Barcelona's form is certainly the superior of the two sides, and their home record is also impressive, losing only once domestically and once in the Champions League all season. This is in contrast to the Blues' away record in the tournament so far, with Chelsea posting only one win on the road, drawing three times and losing once.

The world-class Barcelona attack consisting of the likes of Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and current tournament leading goalscorer Lionel Messi look set to prove too much for Chelsea to handle, and Barcelona will enter the first leg of this fixture as relatively strong favourites to win.
