The draw takes place in Nyon at 11am GMT - not that Benitez will be watching.

He said: "No, I don't think so. I cannot change anything and I will have 100 people telling me who we're playing against anyway, so I can just keep working."

Love the guy

[Matt]

Rafa just doesn't want to sit through all of Sky Sports and UEFA's faffing.

Don't blame him but I'll be listening in anyway

[Reece]

Aye likewise. Don't expect the actual draw to begin until about 11:30 after they've finished all their fannying about

[Matt]

I'm actually quite excited - I get tense during the draw but it's been an immense week of results and news and I'm leaving work at 12 hopefully so it feels a bit like Christmas

[Shaggy]

Very excited but don't care who we get. We will beat whoever it is.

[Tee]

I am cacking it, really am. Shouldn't be I know but to think there are only 4 games between us and another CL Final...

My prediction:

Liverpool v Bayern Munich

Porto v Man Utd

Arsenal v Chelsea

Barcelona v Villareal

[Reece]

I'd still really rather avoid the English teams due to the level of stress involved when playing them.

[Tee]

I am pretty confident that there will be an all English tie, however I agree I would much rather avoid it.

[Reece]

Hopefully the Mancs vs Chelsea.

[Tee]

Hopefully the Mancs vs Chelsea.

That would be absolutely ideal. Also, a nice tough draw for Barca, say Villareal or Bayern?

[Craig_H]

I'd be pretty confident regardless, but i wouldnt go as far as saying i dont care.

Porto or Villarreal or Bayern would be great.

[Reece]

That would be absolutely ideal. Also, a nice tough draw for Barca, say Villareal or Bayern?

Dunno. I kind of would love to play Barca in the final.

[Matt]

I'd like to think that every other team will be more scared of us than we are of them.

Like a wasp.

[wiw]

When is it exactly?
