Here is the draw for the first leg of the quarterfinals – all games start at 2:45 p.m. Eastern.

Tuesday, April 7
Arsenal at Villarreal
FC Porto at Manchester United

Wednesday, April 8
Chelsea at Liverpool
Bayern Munich at Barcelona

This is an outstanding dance card. The matchup between Arsenal (currently fourth in the Premiership) and Villareal (fourth in Spain’s Primera Division) figures to be the most competitive of the four: the home side is a slight favorite at +140, compared to +175 for the Gunners and +220 for the draw.

The biggest favorite of the first leg is Manchester United (-275), who are looking for revenge on FC Porto (+750) from 2004, when the Portuguese champions advanced at Man U’s expense. United have lost two games in a row in the Premiership after a stellar 12-game winning streak. Get you UEFA Champions League odds with the Bodog Sportsbook.
