Match Previews

Leicester have already qualified for the Europa League knockout stages, so they may ease off a touch when visiting the Ukraine to face Zorya. However, Brendan Rodgers has some useful fringe players pushing for more game time and they are still fancied to prove a cut above their hosts. More...

Rangers have built up a ton of momentum this season and can book a place in the Europa League knockout rounds by seeing off Standard Liege. Steven Gerrard's side prevailed 2-0 when these teams met in Belgium, thanks to James Tavernier's 19th-minute penalty and Kemar Roofe's spectacular late strike. More...

Arsenal may be struggling in the Premier League but Mikel Arteta's men are sitting pretty in their Europa League pool with maximum points from four games. Rapid Vienna kept their hopes of qualifying alive with a couple of wins over Dundalk but do not usually travel well in this competition. More...

Brighton and Southampton have shared the spoils in four of their last six Premier League meetings, including the most recent encounter in mid-July. Both teams have generally been in decent form of late and we reckon they are hard to split once again at Amex Stadium on Monday night. More...

Liverpool have won four straight Premier League meetings with Wolves over the past two seasons and can confirm their superiority at Anfield. The Reds may have injury problems in defence, but continue to play with a swagger going forward and have picked up maximum points from five home games. More...

Fulham have boosted their survival hopes with two wins in their last four matches including a surprise victory at Leicester on Monday. Unfortunately for the Cottagers, there looks little hope of them maintaining that momentum this weekend having been priced up at 20/1 for victory in Manchester. More...

Leicester will be determined to bounce back from last week's surprise home loss to Fulham when visiting Premier League basement dwellers Sheffield United. The Foxes did the double over the Blades last term and renew rivalry with Chris Wilder's side on just one point from their first 10 fixtures. More...

Manchester United will progress from Champions League Group H if avoiding defeat against PSG and we're backing them to advance in style. The visitors have been far from convincing both in Europe and on domestic duty this season, so we're happy to take them on at Old Trafford. More...

Sevilla and Chelsea are already assured of qualifying from Champions League Group E, but top spot in the table is still up for grabs. They are level on 10 points, but the Blues are in pole position, having achieved a better goal difference since these sides drew 0-0 at Stamford Bridge. More...

West Brom and Crystal Palace have been priced up at the same odds for victory this weekend despite Palace having looked a much better team at times. The Eagles lost both games in the absence of Wilfried Zaha, who had to self-isolate, but had previously picked up 13 points from eight matches. More...

Tottenham head into Sunday's north London derby as clear favourites to get the better of arch-rivals Arsenal on current Premier League form. Spurs came out of the last round of fixtures on top of the table and unbeaten since the opening weekend, whereas the Gunners are eight points adrift in 14th. More...

Burnley and Everton were both beaten last weekend but get a quick chance to make amends when they meet in Saturday’s early kick-off. The Clarets suffered their usual thrashing at Manchester City while Everton slipped to a 1-0 defeat at home to Leeds. More...

Liverpool will be keen to secure their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a game to spare when they host Ajax. Victory would guarantee safe passage to the knockout stage and avoid the nightmare scenario of having something to play for in the final game against Midtjylland. More...

Manchester City have already secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League and now need just a point against Porto to clinch top spot in Group C. City have a three-point advantage over the second-placed Portuguese side and their 3-1 victory in the opening group game means they now only need a draw to ensure they can relax heading into their final match against Marseille. More...

Aston Villa’s perfect away record will be on the line when they travel to London to face in-form West Ham. Villa have won all three away matches this season without conceding a goal while West Ham have kept back-to-back clean sheets in victories over Fulham and Sheffield United. More...

Chelsea will hope having an extra two days to prepare will give them the edge in what could prove to be an important London derby against Tottenham. Both teams look possible title contenders this season and Tottenham start the weekend top of the table but only two points clear of their hosts. More...

Leicester return to domestic action boosted by their qualification for the knockout stage of the Europa League following Thursday’s 3-3 draw at Braga. The Foxes conceded three goals for a second successive game after their 3-0 defeat at Liverpool in their previous league outing but Jamie Vardy’s last-gasp equaliser rescued a point in Portugal. More...

Arsenal and Wolves are separated by just one point and have proved to be two well-matched teams since the latter returned to the Premier League. Wolves finished one place and three points above Arsenal last season and both meetings at the Emirates Stadium in the last two seasons ended in a 1-1 draw. More...

Southampton start the weekend just three points behind Premier League leaders Tottenham so Manchester United look too short at odds-on favourites for victory at St Mary’s. Saints are four points better off than United, albeit having played a game more, and remain unbeaten since losing their first two games of the campaign. More...

Manchester City have not been at their fluent best recently but the visit of Burnley gives them the chance to find their shooting boots. City have won 10 of their last 11 meetings in all competitions with the Clarets, who have been thrashed 5-0 on their last three visits to the Etihad Stadium. More...

Liverpool find themselves in the strange position of having to bounce back from a defeat when they head to the south coast to face Brighton. Jurgen Klopp’s selection gamble backfired on Wednesday night as the Reds lost 2-0 at home to Atalanta in the Champions League – their heaviest loss at Anfield in 137 matches. More...

Crystal Palace continue to blow hot and cold and picking a winner of Friday night’s Premier League match is not an easy task. Palace’s two recent wins have both been followed by defeats so they do not inspire much confidence, while Newcastle head to Selhurst Park on the back of two consecutive losses. More...

This may only be the 10th round of fixtures but the showdown at The Hawthorns already looks a must-win match for both teams. Neither is yet to record a league win this season, with rock-bottom Sheffield United having managed just one point and West Brom only two points better off. More...

Everton returned to winning ways last weekend and are back in the top six ahead of the visit of Leeds to Goodison Park. The return of Richarlison from suspension saw the Toffees end their three-match losing streak with a 3-2 victory at Fulham. More...

Celtic are in danger of an early exit from Europe and will be out for revenge after a 4-1 thrashing by Sparta Prague three weeks ago. That dismal performance at Parkhead left Celtic bottom of Group H with just one point from their first three games and they will be out to restore some pride in the Czech capital. More...

Leicester cruised to a 4-0 win against Braga three weeks ago but are unlikely to find it quite so easy in Portugal. Kelechi Iheanacho's brace helped the Foxes take control of Group G and anything other than a defeat would leave them in pole position to win the group. More...

Rangers and Benfica are level on seven points each in Europa League Group D and could clinch their place in the knockout stage with victory here depending on the other result in the group. Rangers have been strong defensively this season but the original meeting in Portugal three weeks ago was a different story as they shared a 3-3 draw. More...

Arsenal are yet to drop a point in the Europa League this season and another victory in Norway would ensure qualification for the knockout stage with the minimum of fuss. The Gunners have been struggling for goals in the Premier League but it has been a different story in Europe, where they have netted nine goals in three group games. More...

Tottenham were far too strong for Ludogorets when they met in the Europa League three weeks ago and should enjoy another routine win in the rematch. The 3-1 victory in Bulgaria was more one-sided than the final result suggested and Ludogorets are bottom of Group J after losing all three matches and conceding nine goals. More...

A trip to Greece offers Manchester City the chance to forget about their domestic problems and secure their place in the last 16 of the Champions League. City’s poor form in the Premier League has been in contrast to the European competition, with Pep Guardiola’s men winning all three matches by an aggregate score of 9-1. More...
