Mourinho has a good record vs Barca & i would fancy a score draw tonight.

Though after the goals galore weekend in the premier league wouldn't it be typical this much awaited game finishes 0-0

Higuain is out. Definitely fancy Barca tonight, There's never any need for motivation when this fixture comes about, but the fact that is't Mourinho, given all his past behaviour and the shite he's been talking this past week or so they'll be more motivated than usual. Plus Ronaldo, Ozil and Di Maria aren't big game players.

You could regret that statement!

9/1 for Ronaldo to score 2 or more so hopefully Ronnie does have a big game!

I could, but I don't think I will! I haven't seen any confirmed teams yet, but what I've read on forums is that Mourinho's going for a front three of Benzema, Ronaldo and Ozil, midfield 3 of Alonso, Khedira and Lassana Diarra and the same back 4 he's used all season. They've looked great up until now, but Barcelona seem to be peaking at the right time.

[ross4life]

If Barca are peaking then they will be burnt out come April/May when it matters! Ozil,Di Maria haven't played many big games? Ronaldo did ok the two Champions league finals he played in.
