You the jury: Who is destined for Champions League glory?

It is, effectively, half-time in the first knockout stage of the Champions League. None of the five British teams has been entirely convincing, but Liverpool look best placed after two late goals beat Inter Milan on Tuesday. Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are level after their first legs, the latter two with the home leg still to come, while Celtic have a mountain to climb, with the prospect of having to win by two clear goals in the Nou Camp to progress at the expense of Barcelona. Having digested all this week's results, we want you to tell us who you think will go furthest in this season's Champions League. Cast your vote below and leave us a comment explaining why.

it would do us all good to let us have a Man Utd v Liverpool final these two teams stand probably alone as the most outstanding teams over the last twenty years,despite the probable expected comments from Arsenal and Chelsea quarters arguing otherwise,and for the neutral it would probably also be the final that most football fans would like to see and if it was at Wembley it would be equally a good thing for the game,well we should hopefully get one English team through with respect for Celtic the first British winners, who I think have a mountain to climb over in Barcelona

I'm an Arsenal fan, but went for Chelsea because they have the depth, and (despite what Grant says about the title) will settle for 3rd, and so will be able to rest players in the League.

Arsenal are not favoured according to this morning's papers, but a score draw will put us through (as will an Adebayor hat-trick) so we're in with a shout.

Manchester United have depth, but also have to keep pressure on the League (so no rotation) and if Rooney gets injured they seem to lose.

Manchester United have the capacity to go on and win it but significant changes need to be made for this to be a reality. Firstly away from home is a massive problem. Not only results wise but perofrmance wise we are often poor. Fergie may have excelled on many a level whilst at Old Trafford but one cannot dispute the fact that he has made some ridiculous team selections over the years. United should put out a far more attack minded team away as away goals are vital! Doesnt he know that. My fav player scholes is not good enough any more and giggs is terribly inconsistent. Also ROnaldo never shows up for the very big games. For United to win: Line up should be .
1.Van Der Saar 2. Brown 3. Ferdinand 4. Vidic 5. Evra 6. Carrick 7. Anderson 8. Nani 9. Fletcher 10. Tevez 11. Rooney. This is a solid and balanced side. Carrick sitting in front of the back four to play the long ball. Rio ferdinand can not play the long ball! Anderson have a free role and be eveywhere, and rooney needs tevez up front.

I think united have the quality an depth to go all the way. However I am worried about SAF'S tacics away from home. United are playing too cautiously away in Europe. United are always at their best when they are attacking

I think Manchester United will go furthest in the Champions League, they have strength in depth and few injuries at the moment, coupled with young exciting players and experience. Arsenal, should they progress past AC Milan, will also be confident but I'm not if their lack of experience may show and nerves get the better of them as they progress through to the finals. Also Liverpool, although a great cup side if they come up against any of the English sides in the next round I think they will be out and finally Chelsea, their performances this season have been incredibly lack-lustre nothing like the exciting football we were promised by Mr Grant, I just don't think they have the edge. My prediction all 4 to progress to the next stage, only 2 to make the semi-s - Manchester Utd and Arsenal.

Arsenal - will find it difficult to win in Milan and a score draw will be hard as ACM do not concede many goals at home, despite poor league performances. Past this tie, however, they stand a good chance...

Celtic - have to repeat the scoreline just to take the game into ET or win by 2 goals to take the tie... In Camp Nou... Hmmm...

Chelsea - a home win should not be beyond them here and they have the quality and strength in depth to do well...

Liverpool - whilst almost dead certs to make the QFs, I don't see them actually going that much further this season. The oft-talked about previous successful Euro campaigns have coincided with better league form than they have shown this year...

Man Utd - the team with the best mix of quality and strength in depth allied with a tremenedous level of experience should have designs on taking the whole thing back to the north-west...

I think that Liverpool will do best as theyare ambling about the premiership and seem to have become deviod of ways to break down teams. Whilst the other three English clubs scrap for the Premiership I think they will all struggle next round. For Celtic, again a bad draw has left them pretty helpless. I can see Chelsea winning the Premiership and I think if Chelsea meet United they will get knocked out. A United V Liverpool Final would be terrifyingly brilliant, but it seems unlikely both will get that far.
