Gambling911.com's Arsenal v. Barcelona betting preview has Arsenal at 3.00, the Draw at 3.00 and Barcelona at 2.30.  These odds were available from NordicBet.com.  Barcelona's odds have gotten shorter from 2.40.

Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas remains a concern ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first-leg match with Barcelona because of a leg injury.

Likewise, Barcelona will have to do without Andres Iniesta for the first leg after he suffered a hamstring injury at the weekend, although he is expected to return for the second leg.

Arsenal - Barcelona   3.00    3.00    2.30

The match is a repeat of the 2006 final - which Barca won 2-1.

Fabregas will face the club that nurtured him prior to joining Arsenal at 16, while Barcelona striker Thierry Henry will be up against the team for which he scored 226 goals.

"I'm very emotional, but also staying calm," said Henry. "It will be a strange game for me.

"Before the draw I said that I did not want to face Arsenal. That was my wish. But now that's the game we've got and we'll have to give everything.

"It's very special. To return home is strange and even more so in the quarter-finals of the Champions League."
