The question on everyone’s lips is whether English teams can continue their dominance of Europe into the new season.

Last year, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all reached the semi-finals, setting up an all-English final between the former two. Man Utd enter this year’s competition as favourites at a generous 6/1 – a bet seeming more tempting now that it seems Ronaldo is staying. Chelsea and Real Madrid closely follow those at 13/2 and 15/2 respectively, both squads having strengthened and the new approach of Scolari maybe succeeding where Mourinho and Grant fell short.

Some tempting outsider sport betting prices include Fiorentina at 33/1, who finished strongly in Serie A last season and also reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. A more realistic punt might be on Liverpool at 12/1 who should comfortably get through the qualifying stages and have a history of strong European performances.
