MUMBAI: India?s No 1 FM Station, heats up its laughter quotient in the breakfast show ? BIG Chai with none other than Raju Shrivastav.

MUMBAI: Ten Sports, the most watched sports channel of the sub-continent, will telecast live one of the most anticipated matches from the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League ? Liverpool against Inter Milan.

The UEFA Champions League, Europe?s premier club tournament, reaches its knock out stage with 16 teams, including all four clubs from the English Premier League, still in the fray and Ten Sports, which has the rights for the Champions League in the Sub-continent, will show four of these matches.

Apart from the Liverpool-Inter match, which will kick off at 12:30 am IST on Wednesday, February 20, the other three matches to be shown live are Olympiacos v Chelsea (3:15 am on Wednesday, February 20), followed by Lyon v Manchester United and Celtic v Barcelona on Thursday, February 21, at the same times.

Repeat telecast of Liverpool-Inter and Olympiacos - Chelsea matches will be on Wednesday, starting 9:30 am IST, while Lyon-Man.United and Celtic -Barcelona?s clashes will be repeated at 8:30 am IST on Thursday.

Italian Champions Inter are top of Serie A again this season without losing in the league, and they are hot favourites to make Liverpool‘s increasingly-depressing season even worse by putting them out of Europe. Two finals in three years is now little more than history for under-pressure boss Rafael Benitez, who knows qualification for the Champions League next season is now the minimum requirement.

Liverpool (2005 and 2007) and Arsenal (2006) made it to the three most recent finals, but they now face the collective might of Milan over two legs, and both of the English sides will need to effect immediate and dramatic improvements from their weekend performances in the FA Cup if they are to make any impact on the Serie A giants Internazionale and AC Milan, respectively.

For Manchester United (Arsenal?s nemesis on Saturday) and Chelsea, the prospects are more promising. Both are buoyed by convincing FA Cup wins and, as winners of their respective Group Stage pools, have looked generally more solid in Europe this season than Liverpool and the Gunners.

The UEFA Champions League starts in September and continues till the champion club of Europe is determined in May. The tournament comprises a group stage features 32 teams in eight groups of four, followed by four knockout rounds.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SCHEDULE (First knockout round stage): Schalke vs Porto; Roma vs Real Madrid; Olympiacos vs Chelsea; Liverpool vs Internazionale (all matches on Tuesday, February 19); Celtic vs Barcelona; Lyon vs Manchester United; Fenerbah?e vs Sevilla; Arsenal vs Milan (All matches on Wednesday, February 20).
