class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Tuchel's methodical approach restricting goals at both ends of the pitch, Al Hain-Cole expects a tight tactical battle against the Toffees

Everton will be looking to leapfrog Chelsea into the top four when they travel to Stamford Bridge for Monday’s Premier League clash.

The Toffees are a point adrift of their hosts in fifth place with a game in hand, having won seven and lost none of their last nine league games on the road.

Chelsea vs Everton Latest Odds

However, without a win in 29 visits to this ground, Everton are 11/2 (6.50) outsiders with bet365 to give their Champions League credentials a massive boost by coming out on top here for the first time since 1994.

Thomas Tuchel’s men have won seven and lost none of their 10 matches in all competitions since he replaced Frank Lampard and are 11/20 (1.55) to extend that record with another victory.

Two of the hosts’ four home games under their new manager have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 3/1 (4.00) on them playing out another stalemate in this one.

Chelsea vs Everton Team News

Tammy Abraham and Thiago Silva are the only injury doubts for the home side, with Marcos Alonso, Mateo Kovacic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic all hoping to return to the starting line-up.

Robin Olsen, Seamus Coleman, Tom Davies, and James Rodriguez are all back in contention following injury, although Yerry Mina, Fabian Delph and Jean-Philippe Gbamin remain sidelined. 

Chelsea vs Everton Preview

Having struggled for consistency in their season and a half under Lampard, the Blues look a far more assured outfit since making the change in the dugout.

The former PSG manager’s controlled, possession-based game has seen them concede only twice in 10 fixtures, albeit scoring just 11 times at the other end of the pitch.

A tight tactical battle looks likely against Carlo Ancelotti’s team, which has won the last three matches without conceding and kept four clean sheets in the last six meetings between the sides.

Chelsea vs Everton Tips and Predictions

With advantage in the race for the top four at stake, odds of 4/5 (1.80) seem reasonable on under 2.5 goals being scored for Chelsea’s 10th match in 11 under Tuchel and the fifth game in six for Everton.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Hammers have enjoyed plenty of Premier League success at the London Stadium and our tipster expects them to enjoy a fruitful evening on Monday

West Ham United will be looking to continue their unlikely Champions League push when they welcome Leeds United to the London Stadium on Monday night.

Arguably the surprise package of this season, David Moyes’ men are seventh in the Premier League but will move up two places with victory in this clash.

West Ham United vs Leeds United Latest Odds

The Hammers won the reverse fixture 2-1 and bet365 go 21/20 (2.05) that they complete a league double over Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

Leeds have only won two of their last six games in the top flight and are 12/5 (3.40) outsiders to pick up their 12th win of the campaign.

No team has drawn fewer games than the two that the Whites have tallied this season and a stalemate in this one can be backed at 27/10 (3.70).

West Ham United vs Leeds United Team News

Ryan Fredericks, Lukasz Fabianski and Darren Randolph all face late fitness tests, but Arthur Masuaku, Angelo Ogbonna and Andriy Yarmolenko are injured.

Bielsa could welcome back Kalvin Phillips and Jamie Shackleton, however, this game comes too soon for Robin Koch and Gaetano Berardi whilst Adam Forshaw is a long-term absentee.

West Ham United vs Leeds United Preview

If West Ham are to realise their aspirations of playing European football next season, then maintaining strong home form is likely to be the key.

Only runaway leaders Manchester City have taken more points on home turf than the Hammers’ 24 this term, with Moyes’ men winning four of their last five at the London Stadium – contributing to a run of seven wins and two draws in their last 10 Premier League games.

They will certainly fancy themselves to expose Leeds’ defensive shortcomings on Monday, with 10 of the east Londoners’ 40 goals this season coming from the head – the second-most in the league – and 14 coming from either corners or free kicks, which is the highest total in the division.

As entertaining as Bielsa’s side have been going forward this season, huge question marks remain over their defence and no team has conceded more headed goals or from more corners this season than them.

West Ham United vs Leeds United Tips and Predictions

West Ham to score over 1.5 goals at 5/6 (1.83) looks the best bet for this game, with it paying out in four of their last six home games and also in the previous meeting between the sides.

That clash at Elland Road back in December saw West Ham score two headed goals and backing Tomas Soucek, who scored one of those, to add to his tally of three headed strikes this season at 12/5 (3.40) is worthy of a small stake.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors have lost four of their last five matches, including the first leg of this last-16 tie, and we are backing them to struggle in Germany

Sevilla travel to Signal-Iduna Park on Tuesday evening hoping to turn around a 3-2 first leg deficit in their last-16 clash in the Champions League.

Julen Lopetegui’s side were comfortably second-best when they hosted the Bundesliga outfit three weeks ago and come into the return leg in poor form.

Indeed, Sevilla let slip a 2-0 aggregate lead to be knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Barcelona last week before losing 2-1 to regelation strugglers Elche in La Liga on Saturday.

Dortmund also let a 2-0 lead slip against Bayern Munich at the weekend to lose 4-2, but the form of striker Erling Haaland coupled with their first leg lead means they are huge favourites to progress on Tuesday.

Borussia Dortmund vs Sevilla Latest Odds

Edin Terzic’s side are priced at 6/5 (2.20) to win in 90 minutes with bet365 and at 1/7 (1.14) to qualify.

The visitors meanwhile are offered at 21/10 (3.10) to record a victory and at 9/2 (5.50) to progress to the next round with the draw available at 14/5 (3.80).

Borussia Dortmund vs Sevilla Team News

Haaland netted twice at the weekend against Bayern but was forced off after picking up a cut on his ankle and faces a late fitness test, whilst midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud picked up a yellow card in the first leg to rule him out of this one.

Sevilla were without injured trio Jules Kounde, Bono and Aleix Vidal at the weekend and the three are doubts for Tuesday.

Borussia Dortmund vs Sevilla Preview

Victory in Andalusia last month has put Dortmund in an extremely strong position and their three away goals mean the hosts can afford to lose on Tuesday and still progress.

With Sevilla’s morale at the lowest ebb it has been all season, any goal from the Germans could sink the visitors and Dortmund have scored in all 15 competitive games they have played in their own stadium during the current campaign.

Lopetegui’s men have struggled in the biggest games this season, losing to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea as well as the first leg, and the Spanish side could be in for another disappointing evening this week.

Borussia Dortmund vs Sevilla Tips and Predictions

Backing the hosts to win at 6/5 (2.20) looks like a tempting selection, while Dortmund to score over 1.5 goals is offered at a healthy looking 4/5 (1.80).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts boast a strong record in Turin and our tipster is expecting them to have plenty of joy in front of goal against Conceicao's leaky defence

Juventus welcome Porto to the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday evening as Andrea Pirlo’s men look to turn around a 2-1 first leg deficit in their Champions League last-16 tie.

Federico Chiesa’s goal at the Estadio do Dragao three weeks ago has given the Italian champions hopes of progressing despite an extremely poor showing in Portugal.

Juventus vs Porto Latest Odds

The Turin outfit are trailing on aggregate but remain favourites to qualify, with bet365 pricing them at 61/100 (1.61) to progress and at 4/9 (1.44) to win.

Porto can be backed at 15/2 (7.50) to win in northern Italy and at 6/5 (2.20) to qualify.

The draw is available at 7/2 (4.50).

Juventus vs Porto Team News

The hosts are without suspended full-back Danilo while Paulo Dybala is a long-term injury absentee, Rodrigo Betancur is self-isolating following a positive coronavirus test and defensive pair Giorgio Chiellini and Matthijs de Ligt are both doubts.

Sergio Conceicao has practically a fully fit squad, although the fitness of Pepe and Jesus Corona will be checked after the weekend win over Gil Vicente saw them return with knocks. 

Juventus vs Porto Preview

After some poor showings in the first half of this season, Juve’s home form has been much improved in 2021 with the side unbeaten in the 10 matches they have contested in their own stadium – winning nine.

All of those victories have come with the side scoring at least twice and while Pirlo’s men would secure progression with a 1-0 triumph on Tuesday, there is some interest in backing them to get among the goals.

Whilst Porto have been strong defensively in this season’s competition, their five clean sheets in the group stage largely came against limited opposition and their visit to the Etihad Stadium saw them beaten 3-1 by Manchester City.

Four of their last seven away games in the Champions League have seen them concede at least twice and backing a repeat this week looks the way to go.

Juventus vs Porto Tips and Predictions

The hosts can be backed at 7/10 (1.70) to win and score over 1.5 goals, while backing them to win by two goals or more pays out at 6/5 (2.20).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts were clearly superior in the Champions League last-16 first leg, racking up a 4-1 win, and our tipster is backing them to ease through

Barcelona head to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening with the seemingly impossible task of turning around their Champions League last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain.

Ronald Koeman’s men were beaten 4-1 at Camp Nou in the first leg three weeks ago thanks to a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappe, and the La Liga side know they must score at least four times to stand any chance of progressing.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona Latest Odds

Barca come into the game in strong form domestically, having reached the final of the Copa del Rey following a dramatic semi-final comeback against Sevilla as well as cutting the gap on La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid to three points.

However, they remain outsiders to win in Paris, priced at 19/10 (2.90) with bet365 while PSG can be backed at 11/10 (2.10) and the draw at 16/5 (4.20).

Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona Team News

PSG are waiting on the fitness of Neymar, who has not featured since the start of February but could be back to face his former side. Moise Kean is sidelined with coronavirus but Alessandro Florenzi should return from injury.

Philippe Coutinho, Sergi Roberto and Gerard Pique are all out for Barca while Ronald Araujo is a major doubt.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona Preview

Despite falling behinf Spain, Mauricio Pochettino’s side were the much better team in the first leg and Kylian Mbappe produced a performance that was virtually unstoppable.

Since his hat-trick in that game, the French international has continued his strong scoring run with four goals in PSG’s last three matches and against a depleted Barcelona defence, there is every chance he can put in another memorable showing.

The Catalans, for their part, have failed to win their last three away games in the knockout stages – against Napoli, Liverpool, and Lyon, respectively – and given the context of the tie, there is very little chance of them producing a historic result.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

Backing PSG at odds-against to win looks like a terrific option and the price of 11/10 (2.10) should provide plenty of interest, while combining this selection with over 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to 17/10 (2.70).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>In high-flying form apart from the first-leg defeat, Al Hain-Cole expects Nagelsmann's men to keep the tie alive against a despondent Reds outfit

Liverpool will be looking to secure their place in the Champions League quarter-finals when they take on RB Leipzig at the Puskas Arena on Wednesday.

Jurgen Klopp’s team are in a strong position after running out 2-0 winners in the away leg, although come into this clash in poor form after losing three of their four fixtures since then.

Liverpool vs RB Leipzig Latest Odds

Nevertheless, they are slight 13/10 (2.30) favourites with bet365 to progress into the next round with a morale-boosting win in Budapest.

That 2-0 first leg defeat remains the only match RB have failed to win in nine fixtures and they are available at 19/10 (2.90) to come out on top for the ninth game in 10 here.

None of the guests’ last 11 games in this competition have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them being held to a stalemate in this one.

Liverpool vs RB Leipzig Team News

Ozan Kabak and Roberto Firmino will be assessed after missing Sunday’s 1-0 defeat against Fulham with minor injuries, while Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson are all sidelined.

Angelino and Willi Orban are doubtful after sitting out the 3-0 win over Freiburg at the weekend, with Konrad Laimer and Dominik Szoboszlai definitely ruled out.

Liverpool vs RB Leipzig Preview

Having seen their Premier League campaign implode due to a combination of injuries and loss of form, this competition represents the only chance of relief in what has been a miserable season for the Reds.

However, even a 2-0 lead from the first leg is no guarantee of progression given they have lost six of the last eight matches in all competitions, and take on a team in contrastingly high-flying form.

Indeed, Julian Nagelsmann’s men will back themselves to get back into the tie after winning eight of the last nine fixtures – including three consecutive 3-0 victories on the road.

Liverpool vs RB Leipzig Tips and Predictions

All things considered, those 19/10 (2.90) seem fairly generous on a confident Leipzig inflicting a seventh defeat in nine matches on a Liverpool team that has looked completely bereft of inspiration recently.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Guardiola's winning run came to an end on Sunday but our tipster is expecting them to bounce back with a comfortable win over Hasenhuttl's Saints

Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from their first Premier League loss in over three months when they welcome Southampton to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.

A 2-0 defeat by rivals Manchester United ended a 21-match winning streak in all competitions, albeit Pep Guardiola’s side are still 11 points clear at the top of the table.

Manchester City vs Southampton Latest Odds

Having won 20 of their 28 Premier League matches this season, bet365 make City just 2/11 (1.18) to add another three points to their tally this week.

Southampton ended a run of nine games without victory at the weekend but are out at 14/1 (15.0) to stun the runaway leaders.

None of the last eight top-flight meetings between these two teams have finished level and a draw this time is available at 13/2 (7.50) .

Manchester City vs Southampton Team News

Nathan Ake is back in training and may return to the bench after being injured since Boxing Day, which would give Guardiola a full-strength team.

Oriol Romeu, Will Smallbone and Michael Obafemi are all out for the rest of the season, whilst Danny Ings and Theo Walcott are not likely to play until after the international break.

Manchester City vs Southampton Preview

Whilst their lengthy winning streak ended in arguably the worst possible fashion on Sunday, City are unlikely to be too downhearted ahead of this clash.

Guardiola’s side found their groove after a slow start to the season in that 21-game winning run, of which 15 were in the Premier League, and 10 of those league victories were to nil.

Although City’s defence has admittedly faltered of late, conceding in four of the last five games, they still boast the meanest backline in the league with only 19 goals against and Southampton are likely to struggle going forward.

Indeed, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have only scored eight goals in their last 14 top-flight games – with only two of those coming in the nine matches against top-half teams.

Manchester City vs Southampton Tips and Predictions

It is difficult to see Southampton having much joy in this one and bet365’s offer of 4/5 (1.80) on Man City to win and keep a clean sheet looks the best way to go for this Premier League clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Spurs are looking to continue their winning form in the Europa League this week although their Croatian opponents are also on an impressive run

Tottenham are aiming to carry their strong run of form into the Europa League on Thursday evening when they welcome Dinamo Zagreb to north London in the first leg of their last-16 clash.

Jose Mourinho’s men have won their last four matches in all competitions and are highly fancied to record another victory in the capital this week.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Dinamo Zagreb Latest Odds

Spurs have won all five home games they have played in Europe so far this season and bet365 offer them at just 2/5 (1.40) to record another success.

The Croatians also come into the game boasting a great record with victory in each of their last eight competitive clashes, and the visitors are priced at 13/2 (7.50) with the draw at 15/4 (4.75).

Tottenham Hotspur vs Dinamo Zagreb Team News

Giovani Lo Celso could make his comeback from a thigh injury for the hosts, while Serge Aurier will also be assessed to see whether he can feature following a calf problem.

The visitors are without right-back Sadegh Moharrami, who is a long-term injury absentee. 

Tottenham Hotspur vs Dinamo Zagreb Preview

After a down period in January and February, Spurs have begun to click in recent weeks with the Londonders scoring plenty of goals and playing some exciting football.

The upturn in form has coincided with Gareth Bale finding his goalscoring touch, scoring six times in his last six, and the Welshman could play a pivotal role once more on Thursday evening.

Mourinho’s men have scored at least twice in all of their home European games this term, as well as netting 13 times in their last four matches. and backing them to get among the goals this week seems to make sense.

Dinamo, though, have won each of their last six Europa League matches and will be aiming to claim a potentially important away goal to take back to Croatia.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Dinamo Zagreb Tips and Predictions

Backing the hosts to win a game which sees over 2.5 goals at 20/21 (1.98) looks appealing, while both teams to score can be backed at 4/5 (1.80).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having exchanged memorable blows in the past, Al Hain-Cole expects the Red Devils and Pioli's men to serve up an entertaining Europa League encounter

A heavyweight Europa League clash takes place at Old Trafford on Thursday when Manchester United host AC Milan in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

These sides were frequent adversaries in the Champions League knockout stages in previous decades, exchanging blows on three occasions as they reached a combined six finals in nine years between 2003 and 2011.

Manchester United vs AC Milan Latest Odds

Having run out 7-2 aggregate winners in the most recent encounter back in 2010, the Red Devils can be backed at 8/13 (1.62) with bet365 to rekindle the rivalry with another victory.

The Italians defeated this opposition en route to both the 2005 and 2007 Champions League finals and are available at 9/2 (5.50) to remain on course to glory in this competition with a big win here.

Six of the hosts’ last nine matches have resulted in draws and you can get odds of 3/1 (4.00) on them playing out yet another stalemate here.

Manchester United vs AC Milan Team News

Luke Shaw, Donny van de Beek, Edinson Cavani, and Marcus Rashford are all doubtful due to injury, while Phil Jones and Paul Pogba are definitely ruled out and David de Gea unavailable due to personal reasons.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will face a late fitness test as he hopes to return to his former ground, with Theo Hernandez, Daniele Bonera, Ismael Bennacer, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Mario Mandzukic all occupying a long injury list.

Manchester United vs AC Milan Preview

While it may lack the glamour and superstar quality of these sides’ late 00s glory years, this tie still looks well set up to provide plenty of entertainment.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are unlikely to feel short of confidence after Sunday’s impressive derby win over Manchester City, while their return of 19 goals from eight Champions League and Europa League games this season bodes well for more joy in attack.

However, the Rossoneri have only failed to score once in 26 matches on the road, albeit keeping just one clean sheet in their last seven fixtures home and away.

Manchester United vs AC Milan Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 3/4 (1.75) look like solid value on Manchester United and AC Milan living up to their name and providing goals at both ends in an exciting Europa League clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both teams have been involved in a host of entertaining clashes recently and our tipster is expecting more goals when they clash in the Europa League

Arsenal continue their quest for Europa League glory when they travel to the Karaiskakis Stadium in Greece to face Olympiacos in the last-16 on Thursday night.

Having been knocked out of both domestic cups and currently languishing down in 10th in the Premier League, this competition represents the Gunners’ best chance at both silverware and a place in next season’s Champions League.

Olympiacos vs Arsenal Latest Odds

These sides met in this tournament just over 12 months ago, with Arsenal winning at this ground, and bet365 are 5/6 (1.83) about Mikel Arteta’s men repeating the trick on Thursday.

However, Olympiacos would go on to qualify after a 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium and they can be backed at 10/3 (4.33) to take a lead back to London this time.

Despite playing each other 10 times in European competition since 2009, none of those games have ever ended level and the online bookmaker offers 13/5 (3.60) that this meeting bucks that trend.

Olympiacos vs Arsenal Team News

Olympiacos centre-backs Ruben Semedo, Ousseynou Ba and Avraam Papadopoulos are all out injured, but Sokratis should be available to face his former team despite a shoulder injury.

Emile Smith Rowe has returned to training after missing Arsenal’s 1-1 draw in Burnley at the weekend and could feature.

Olympiacos vs Arsenal Preview

Both teams can count themselves somewhat fortunate to be in this round of the tournament, with each side scoring a winner inside the final five minutes to advance from entertaining ties.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s late strike saw Arsenal beat Benfica 4-3 across two legs and after their draw at Burnley at the weekend, Arteta’s men have now scored 12 times but conceded eight in just their last six games.

Olympiacos, meanwhile, secured passage into this stage thanks to Ahmed Hassan’s goal two minutes from time against PSV, which gave them a 5-4 aggregate victory and their record over the last few games is almost identical to the Gunners’.

Indeed, prior to their 3-0 Greek Super League victory over struggling Lamia on Sunday, Pedro Martins’ side had gone seven games without a clean sheet – albeit recording 12 strikes themselves.

Olympiacos vs Arsenal Tips and Predictions

With both teams offering plenty in the final third but struggling to keep their opponents at bay in recent weeks, bet365’s 4/5 (1.80) quote on both teams to score looks to be a strong selection for this Europa League clash.
