French side Lyon may dominate in their domestic league but it is all too often a different story on the European front. Other domestic leagues are effectively a league above the French Ligue 1 meaning the champs have to raise their game significantly for each Champions League encounter. At the same time Lyon remain one of the most under rated teams in the competition. Many may overlook their 3-0 away victory against Rangers or their draw against Barcelona which helped them through to the knockout round. For all the accolades that Lyon can muster they lack consistency in European competition. Their resolve will be sorely tested midweek when Lyon vs Manchester United is aired live through our network.

Manchester United are quite simply on fire. After an embarrassing home defeat to Man City, the side responding in emphatic style. They dumped Premiership leaders Arsenal out of the FA Cup with a 4-0 thrashing and top individual displays from key players. To boot they managed to rest top stars in preparation for the trip to France. Even man of the match Wayne Rooney who dazzled throughout was able to sit the final 20 minutes out as Manchester United coasted to victory.

The game against Arsenal could prove to be hugely significant. The win provides a huge morale boost not only going into the Champions League game but also for the closing stages of the domestic season. With Rooney and Ronaldo in prolific form and the return of both Scholes and Hargreaves Man Utd line up as more than a match for French side Lyon. Manager Alex Ferguson will be wary of underestimating Lyon. However, fans will be hoping for a comfortable away victory meaning the Red Devils can rest more players on the home leg.
