Arsenal and Liverpool are the only two Premier League clubs to make it as far as this season’s Champions League quarter-finals.
The Gunners are set to take on Sporting Lisbon in their next game on the 7th of April, with the return fixture at the Emirates Stadium set to take place eight days later on the 15th of April.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have been drawn on the other side of the bracket as they take on reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain.
If the Reds get past PSG they’d take on either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, while success for Arsenal against Sporting will set them up for a semi-final against either Barcelona or Atletico Madrid.

So, in theory, we’re looking at a possible Arsenal vs Liverpool final, but how likely is that?

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich
Arsenal are one of the best teams in Europe this season and were arguably a little unlucky when they were beaten by eventual winners PSG in last season’s Champions League semi-finals.
Mikel Arteta’s side will now be big favourites to beat Sporting, but Liverpool are having a difficult season and also face a far tougher tie, with PSG surely the favourites to progress to the semis again.
Here’s our best effort at predicting the outcome of these Champions League quarter-finals…
Arsenal to beat Sporting
Provided Arsenal don’t get complacent or suffer an injury crisis, this is surely the best tie the north Londoners could have hoped for. They beat Sporting 5-1 away from home in the league phase of the competition last season, and should be too good for them again here.
Prediction: Arsenal to go through.
Arsenal CL…..
