The second legs of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals take place Tuesday and Wednesday, with a lot of attention focusing on the match between English rivals Chelsea and Liverpool on Tuesday night.

Chelsea, which won away to Liverpool in a stunning first-leg upset, 3-1, starts a 2.25 favorite to win again at home and ensure a place in the semis. Liverpool, which needs at least a two-goal, if not three-goal win, to defeat Chelsea overall and progress to the semis, is 2.75. The draw option is 3.20.

Also on Tuesday night, Bayern Munich has almost no chance of overturning a four-goal deficit from the first leg against Barcelona, but starts only a slight underdog of winning the second leg at home, at 2.75. Barcelona is the 2.20 favorite.

Wednesday's fixtures provide more mystery than Tuesday's. Porto will look to cap a stunning upset over Manchester United after holding the Red Devils to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford last week. The bookmakers are tipping United will still do the job in Portugal despite last week's surprise. Man U starts 2.10 favorite against Porto, which is 3.20. A tie is 3.00. However, given that Porto goes in with the advantage, both teams are listed at 1.83 to win overall and qualify for the semi-finals and a shot at European glory.

In the final match of the round, Arsenal goes in heavy favorite against Spanish side Villareal, after coming back from Spain with a 1-1 draw last week. The Gunners are firm 1.53 favorites to beat Villareal, which starts at a long-shot 5.50.

Barcelona is overall tournament favorite at 2.25.
