'For me' - Thierry Henry makes Liverpool Champions League prediction before Inter Milan tie

Thierry Henry has named Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Bayern Munich as his favourites to win the Champions League this season.

Chelsea are the current holders of the title while Liverpool and Bayern have both been crowned champions in recent years.

Man City made the final last season but were defeated by their Premier League rivals.

The likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Atletico Madrid all remain in contention with the round-of-16 ties well underway.

But Henry feels the trophy will be going to England or Germany come the end of May.

“Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Bayern Munich, for me,” he told CBS Sports. “I can’t see them not winning it.

“But I thought if they beat each other in the draws before, then anything can happen. Then you play a team in the final in a one-off game. But that will be my choice.”

Liverpool get their knockout campaign underway this evening with a blockbuster clash against Inter Milan at the San Siro.

Man City were in action on Tuesday night, winning 5-0 at Sporting Lisbon 5-0 to put one foot in the quarter-finals.

It's not the only competition Liverpool are battling their rivals for. They face Chelsea next week in the final of the Carabao Cup and remain locked in a title race with City.

However, as they only reached the round of 16 and quarter-final stage of the Champions League in the last two seasons, the Reds will hope for a more successful season in Europe this time around.
