The big story for the EPL in the Champions League. Milan V Real Madrid?

No, I haven’t taken temporary leave of my senses and I will explain the leap of logic needed to understand the above, but tonight’s Champions League clashes, for the English sides at least, look relatively straightforward. Victory for Manchester United (at home to CSKA Moscow) and Chelsea (away to Atletico Madrid) will confirm their places in the knockout stages of the competition with relative ease. Some people are suggesting that both clubs may even rest key players for their respective games tonight, in readiness for their eagerly awaited Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge at the weekend.
