It's being billed as Barcelona v Barcelona Light, such is the similarities in playing style between the two sides.
The other big talking point of course is Thierry Henry coming back to Arsenal, he didn't ever get a proper send off so this will be a special night for the fans and Henry. If Arsenal are to stand a chance of making it into the semi-final you have to think they can't let Barca take any advantage back to Camp Nou.
Paddy Power make Arsenal 2/1 to win the first leg, which is a great price when you consider Arsenal have only been beaten once at home in the Champions League since they moved to The Emirates, the draw is available at 9/4 and Barca are the 11/8 favourites.
21/10 Arsenal Win
9/4 Draw
11/8 Barcelona Win
If Barcelona repeat the feat of the 2006 final and come from behind to beat Arsenal in the first leg Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorers, correct score and scorecast bets on the match.

It's not the most exciting of bets but a 0-0 scoreline would be great result for Arsenal. No away goals conceded and the advantage to take into the second leg. It looks a massive price at 9/1 but it was the score when both AC Milan and Real Madrid came to North London and we all know what happened when Arsenal went out to the San Siro and the Bernabeu. Barca have also drawn 0-0 twice on the road in the Champions League already this season so it could be a third time lucky for The Gunners.
There's some big prices to be had on an Arsenal win but keeping a clean sheet or going with a couple of goals in the bank could be the deciding factor in this tie. Arsenal have scored 18 goals in the Champions League this season compared Barcelona's 12.

Can anyone stop Lionel Messi? Sol Campbell better get a good night's sleep because going up against Messi is going to be whole lot different from when he was marking Mido in his last game at The Emirates. Messi is 16/5 to score the opening goal and can be backed at 11/1 to score a hat-trick. To put that into perspective prices start at 80/1 for an Arsenal player to score a hat-trick.
Cesc Fabregas is fighting to be fit for the match and as Arsenal's top scorer this season will attract plenty of patriotic support at 15/2 for the opening goal, should he make it. In the 2006 Champions League final Arsenal took the lead thanks to a Sol Campbell header, he's back at Arsenal now and can be backed at 14/1 to score a header in this match, four years later.
