Chelsea should have it easy against FC Porto
Chelsea managed to develop a great display of gameplay, winning the opening leg 2-0 away from home. With things to be settled at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, The Blues looks the favourite to seal its place in the semis, unless Porto produces a wonder in London.
Manchester City has a task at hand despite lead
City managed to edge past Borussia Dortmund at Etihad Stadium last week, working to win 2-1. However, the away goal could play a decisive factor in the return leg at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday. City needs to develop its A-game, brushing aside its 1-2 Premier League howler against Leeds United last weekend.
Can Liverpool script a miracle at Anfield?
Liverpool did manage to script a miracle in Instanbul some years back. However, considering its current situation, it would need a marvel at Anfield on Wednesday. Already 1-3 down against record UCL champion Real Madrid from the opening leg at Santiago Bernabéu, revelation is the only thing that can save The Reds' European campaign this season and next season as well.
Can Munich tame PSG in a Paris showdown?
Munich was indeed one of the favourites this season before it was pitted against runner-up form last season, PSG. Furthermore, the French champion seems to be determined to avenge the final loss against the defending champion, as it edged past at Allianz Arena last week 3-2. Nevertheless, judging by Munich's calibre, it would be of no surprise if it manages to bounce back in Paris. Therefore, the job for PSG would not be easy even after having a lead away from home and playing at home on Tuesday.
