    Shakhtar is very strong, but I don't think they'd be in 2nd place in the BL or 3rd place in La Liga like those two teams are respectively. Although, Shakhtar has a better home field advantage, especially in the winter. Villarreal is quite impressive for how small of a club they actually are in terms of support.

    Strange shit going on right after the halftime.

    Coaching staff comes out at the half.
    Players come out sans Balotelli
    Everyone is like :idk: trying to figure out where the fuck he is
    Platt goes running back up the tunnel
    Match kicks off with City having 10 men
    Balotelli comes back out and is holding his face
    He spends the next couple of minutes holding his face


    Conclusion: Dzeko or Kolarov beat that ass at the half.

    Manchester City v Dinamo Kiev

    De Jong is battling to overcome an ankle problem, but Adam Johnson will not be risked despite returning to training after an ankle injury of his own that has ruled him out for seven weeks. James Milner will return from a hamstring injury as City try to overturn a two-goal deficit.

    However, the best that England midfielder Milner can hope for is a place on the substitutes' bench after making just four appearances since the end of January.

    Dynamo Kiev will be without striker Arten Milevskiy for the trip to Eastlands. The Ukrainian side's top scorer broke a bone in his hand in Sunday's league meeting with Vorskla Poltava. Artem Kravets, an unused substitute in the first leg, is likely to deputise alongside Andriy Shevchenko.

    Liverpool v Sporting Braga

    Liverpool's record signing Andy Carroll will continue his bid to regain full fitness in the Europa League last-16 second leg against Braga at Anfield but may have to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench again.

    The £35million January signing has made two recent substitute appearances since recovering from a thigh injury which had kept him out since December 28.

    Liverpool will seek to overcome a 1-0 deficit from last week's match in Portugal without the services of captain Steven Gerrard, who has been sidelined for a month after a groin operation. Defender Daniel Agger may also only be fit for a place among the substitutes after missing the last three matches with a knee injury.

    Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is training again after knee surgery last month but is some way short of being ready for action, as are Martin Kelly and Fabio Aurelio (hamstring), while striker Luis Suarez is ineligible.

    Braga captain Vandinho has been included in the squad which travels to Anfield. The Brazilian midfielder has been out for the past month with a thigh injury, but could fugre this evening.

    Defender Kaka and forward Alan could also feature after recovering from respective thigh and abdominal problems, but midfielder Custodio and left-back Elderson both remain out of action.
