The line-up for the last 16 of the Champions League has now been revealed with some interesting match-ups. We’ll have a look at each one in turn and try to determine who might make it into the quarter-finals.

Arsenal v Barcelona

Arsene Wenger said he knew that the Gunners would land the most difficult tie of all and he was proved right as the names were drawn out of the hat. The Catalans were too good for the Londoners 12 months ago and, if anything, are a better side now. Pep Guardiola says he is scared of facing Wenger’s men but deep down inside Barca will fear nobody on their march to the final.

Prediction: Arsenal 11/4 to qualify

AC Milan v Tottenham

Spurs have a confidence about them in Europe that suggests that they could progress from this tie, despite Milan’s current standing in Italian football. The San Siro outfit are six points clear in the league table but just how strong is Italian football? Harry Redknapp has instilled a belief in his players that they can win any match and the 3-1 victory over Inter Milan proved that they can.

Prediction: Spurs 10/11 to qualify

FC Copenhagen v Chelsea

The Blues are clearly not the same side that they were at the start of the season and the Danes might see this as one they can win. But there is plenty of time for the west Londoners to regroup for the Champions League knock-out stage and they might be a different side again come March.

Prediction: Chelsea 1/12 to qualify

Marseille v Manchester United

Sir Alex Ferguson has already stated that he feels this will be a difficult tie as the French side are notoriously hard to beat on their own patch. The Red Devils are unbeaten in the top-flight this term and, while that might not be the case when these two sides square off, they will surely have too much for a Marseille side who are currently fifth in the Ligue 1 standings.

Prediction: United 1/5 to qualify

Inter Milan v Bayern Munich

Jose Mourinho is now long gone from the San Siro and it shows as Inter are languishing in seventh place in the Serie A standings. Bayern are also enduring a torrid time domestically as Borussia Dortmund continue to run away with the Bundesliga. This is difficult one to call but the Germans are just favoured to sneak through over the two legs.

Prediction: Bayern 10/11 to qualify

Real Madrid v Lyon

The El Clasico hammering aside, Mourinho has enjoyed an excellent start to his time in charge of Real and that should continue with progression to the last eight of Europe’s elite club competition. Lyon are right up there in the French league but it will be a step up facing the Spanish giants who will have thoughts of winning the competition for no other reason than to prevent Barca from doing so.

Prediction: Real 1/5 to qualify

Roma v Shakhtar Donetsk

Neither of these sides will really entertain thoughts of winning the Champions League but the Italians are tipped to progress to the next round despite the Ukrainians’ easy passage into the last 16. They topped Arsenal’s group with 15 points but will find the knock-out round a different kettle of fish against the experienced Serie A side.

Prediction: Roma 8/13 to qualify

Valencia v Schalke 04

Schalke topped their group in qualifying but it was far from the ‘group of death’ while Valencia scored goals for fun in finishing runners-up to United. The Germans are not enjoying a good time of it domestically and are precariously close to the drop zone in the Bundesliga and the Spaniards’ pedigree should see them through this one.

Prediction: Valencia 8/15 to qualify
