Huge match tomorrow night at Old Trafford as either Man United or Barcelona make their way to the final. After the 0-0 of the first leg it will be very tight.

I can't call it personally. United on home soil would perhaps be the favourites to win, but Barca only need a draw to avoid going out - and you wouldn't bet against them getting an away goal. Neither side is in any sort of form and both have the odd injury to key players (United's being touch-and-go).

Should be slightly more open than the first leg but i still expect United to go into it cautiously, and probably Barcelona the same being the away side. Surely we can't have another goalless stalemate between these two great attacking sides?

Any word on the availability of Rooney and Vidic yet? If Vidic is out, I see the tie swaying in favor of Barcelona.

Ferguson said it'd be difficult for both player to make it in the beginning 11. Hope Man Utd wins the match!

Unfortunatley my prediction is a 2-2 draw. Rooney & Vidic missing will be a huge blow to us.

Vidic could start, Rooney is less hopeful.

I'll stick to what I said before the first leg, I tipped Barca to edge past and I still think that.

Needless to say, if the lads get into the final I will be ecstatic.

Heading out now, I just hope it doesn't turn ugly!

If Vidic is fit and plays I'll go for Utd win 1-0

If Vidic doesn't play than I'll go for Barca win 3-1

If Henry plays i'll go for a win 2-1 for Manchester, if he doesn't play 2-0 for Manchester.

Henry starts in the bench because there are better players.

It's funny how just a single player are swaying people's predictions from one way to the total opposite.

I think it'll be really tight to be honest. Fergie knows what it is to lose a semi and will be bent on not experiencing that again, so i expect him to keep it tight - Barca being the away side will inevitably do the same.

If United go through i expect they'll win 2-0; if Barcelona go through i expect they'll draw 1-1.

Cannot wait. But i think United may edge it, even without Rooney and Vidic.

What a cracking goal that was. Completely unstoppable.

Looks like this game could make up for the stalemate in the first leg.

I was right, United have edged it. The edge being Barcelona's uncontrollable nerves. At one point i expected them to break down and drop to the floor in tears. The period after the United goal up until about 5-10 minutes from the end of the first half was absolutely pathetic. Their passing was atrocious - the defenders half the time just stopped on the ball and waited for United to take it off them.

They've looked better but i wonder how they're going to penetrate United's defence. For me i'd get Henry on after the impact he had in the Nou Camp.

Either way i think United are in the final judging by that first half... next goal could well and truly determine the tie.

Gianluigi Zambrotta is an idiot! Barca were playing well until he messed-up. They were putting some good passes together, attacking well and getting Messi into the game. The were also putting United under pressure when they had possession of the ball and they weren't giving them time to play but then Zambrotta played the ball into the middle straight to Scholes who produced a fine strike. a player of Zambrotta's experience should have made a mistake like that... you make mistakes against United and you pay for it.

I think Barca will score, they have a goal in them but I also think United will score. The Barca defence have looked shakey and Adibal looks suspect in everything he does... in an attacking capacity Mainly.
