Tonight it’s make or break time for two heavyweights of European football. Manchester Utd welcome Inter Milan to Old Trafford for one of this tournaments must see matches.

After a goaless draw two weeks ago in the San Siro can the mighty Milan sneak an away goal and end United’s hope of a clean sweep of trophies?

It’s not likely as Jose Mouriniho’s side have some big holes to fill as their defense is missing a few key players such as Cristian Chivu, Marco Materazzi and Nicolas Burdisso. However there is one piece of good news. Argentine Walter Samuel passed a fitness test and has been included in the squad for the trip to England.

All that’s needed is for the striking Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic to produce the goods and silence his critics.

Prediction: 1-1

In tonight’s other UCL matches Arsenal head to the Eternal City protecting a 1-0 lead from the first leg, when they dominated Roma but failed to convert a glut of chances.

Barcelona host Lyon having claimed a 1-1 draw in France and Atletico Madrid travel to Porto with their game level at 2-2.
