Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said he would like to see his side be drawn against either Manchester United or Chelsea in the next round of the Champions League.
The Gunners (8/1 to win the Champions League) booked their place in the quarter-finals of the competition with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Porto at the Emirates Stadium o Tuesday night, comfortably overturning the 2-1 deficit from the first leg.
Even without Cesc Fabregas Arsenal were in complete control right from the off with a Nicklas Bendtner hat-trick and one each for Emmanuel Eboue and Samir Nasri making sure they reach the last eight stage for the third season running.
Wenger has now set his sights on meeting Manchester United (8/13 to beat AC Milan in the 90 minutes betting) or Chelsea in the next round of the competition.
Despite having lost to both home and away in the league this season Wenger believes it would be good for his young side to face one of the two English teams in the next round.
“I have a funny feeling, maybe it’s good for us to play an English team,” said the Frenchman.
“We have not done well against Chelsea and not done well against Man Utd this year and it would be a good opportunity to show that we can do it against them.”
The omens would not be good for the Gunners if they were to draw United (11/8 to win the Premier League) or Chelsea (6/4) having lost to both sides the last time they meet in European competition.
However, there is no guarantee Arsenal will be drawn against a British club with United still having to see off AC Milan on Wednesday night while the Blues have to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg against Inter.
