Fabio Cannavaro names his favourites to win the Champions League this season

Fabio Cannavaro has named an English club as his favourites to win the Champions League this season. 

All four Premier League sides have qualified for the knockout stages of the competition, with Liverpool and Manchester City already sealing top spot in their group. 

Current Champions League holders Chelsea can top their group with a win in their final group stage game against Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday evening, while Manchester United need just a point against Young Boys to cement top spot.

World Cup winner Cannavaro has hailed thestrength in depth of the Premier League clubs, while also backing Chelsea to win Europe’s elite competition for a second year in a row this term.

‘I think Chelsea can do it,’ he told Walfoot.

‘They have a great manager in Thomas Tuchel, and a very good team. 

‘Real Madrid did it three years in a row, which was a historical accomplishment for the club and Zidane. 

‘But to win the Champions League, you need a lot of things to go your way. For me, English clubs are better prepared.’

City are currently the favourites to win the tournament, according to Betfair, with Chelsea and Liverpool just behind second-placed Bayern Munich in the odds.
