Milan-Man Utd is the pick of this week's fixtures for me. Milan have the better head-to-head record at home, Pato is back from injury (scored in his first game back last Friday against Udinese), and Huntelaar is finally in the goals with a brace in that same game. Man Utd on the other hand look strong at the mo, so I can see it going either way - Milan for their UCL pedigree, Man U for their form.

My pick of next week's fixtures is Inter-Chelsea. Inter are looking formidable in Serie A and who knows this Chelsea squad better than Mourinho (seeing as he built it), but they've never done particularly well in the UCL knockout stages. Chelsea are doing well under Ancelotti, and like Man U, are on good form going into this.

In the other games, I expect the big boys to do the business.

Possible upsets: Fiorentina to beat Bayern, Lyon to beat Real.

I'm backing Man Utd, Inter/ Chelsea, Barca to be there at the end.
