Olympique Marseille are in great position for this 1/8 CL final as Inter can't stop losing. Inter lost in 5 of their last 6 games, scoring only in 4:4 draw against Palermo at home. All 4 goals scored Diego Milito, so only one player has scored for Inter in last 6 games. The biggest blow for Marseille boss Deschamps is the absence of attacker Loic Remy, who suffered a hamstring injury and will not be available for the first leg. However, striker Andre-Pierre Gignac has resumed training and may start on the bench. Inter coach Ranieri has nearly a full squad available as centre-back Walter Samuel is expected to return after recovering from a thigh strain to line up alongside Lucio. Meanwhile, midfielder Dejan Stankovic and striker Diego Milito seem to have overcome bouts of flu that kept them out of the 3-0 loss to Bologna.

Chelsea are struggling a lot this season especialy against teams above top 10 and Everton could profit from the current situation and to win. Chelsea have not won a Premier League game at Goodison Park since April 2008 when a Michael Essien strike helped the Blues to a 1-0 victory. Fernando Torres continues his search for a return to goalscoring form. The Spaniard hasn't netted in his last 18 games since grabbing a brace against Genk in mid-October. Leon Osman, Jack Rodwell and Seamus Coleman are still missing from the Toffees' midfield but David Moyes has real options up front with new man Nikica Jelavic likely to make his first Premier League start with recent super-sub Victor Anichebe set to continue from the bench.
