class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams looking more comfortable in attack than defence recently, Al Hain-Cole expects another entertaining north London derby at the Emirates

Arsenal will be determined to close the gap on neighbours Tottenham when they meet at the Emirates Stadium in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The Gunners are seven points adrift of their rivals, having won just two of their last seven matches in the league.

Indeed, the game could prove pivotal in the race for European football, with both sides currently outside the top six.

Arsenal vs Tottenham latest odds

Without a win in the last five north London derbies, Arsenal are priced at 31/20 (2.55) with bet365 to give themselves a boost with a long-awaited victory here.

However, Jose Mourinho’s men come into this game on the back of a five-match winning streak in all competitions, and are available at 7/4 (2.75) to secure a third win in a row against this opposition.

The sides shared a 2-2 draw in their previous encounter at the Emirates Stadium last season, and you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Arsenal vs Tottenham team news

Emile Smith Rowe made his comeback from injury in Thursday’s Europa League win over Olympiacos, leaving the hosts with a fully-fit squad to choose from.

For Tottenham, Serge Aurier is available once again after returning from injury to face Dinamo Zagreb, with Jose Mourinho having declared Harry Kane fit to face the Gunners despite an injury scare towards the end of Thursday night’s game.

Arsenal vs Tottenham preview

While Mikel Arteta likes to keep things tight in big matches, it is hard to see his side earning a first clean sheet in eight derbies considering they have conceded at least once in each of their last nine matches in all competitions.

Nevertheless, a return of 10 goals scored in the last four games suggests they will definitely back themselves at the other end of the pitch against a visiting backline that has kept just two clean sheets in 14 away games – conceding 10 times in the last five.

What’s more, north London derbies have been entertaining affairs in recent seasons, averaging over three goals per game in the last six matches and seeing goals at both ends in four of those.

Arsenal vs Tottenham predictions

All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem well worth backing on Arsenal and Tottenham serving up yet more excitement with at least three goals being scored.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Premier League leaders come into the second leg in a strong position and our tipster is backing them to ease through against the Bundesliga side

Manchester City will be hoping to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they face Borussia Monchengladbach in Hungary in the second leg of the last 16 on Tuesday.

The Premier League leaders eased to a 2-0 win in Germany three weeks ago and, having won four of their five games since then, will fancy their chances of a similarly-routine win at the Puskas Arena in Budapest.

Manchester City vs Borussia Monchengladbach Latest Odds

Having won 23 of their last 24 matches in all competitions, bet365 make City just 2/9 (1.22) to maintain their momentum with another victory here.

Monchengladbach, by contrast, have lost their last six matches and are 10/1 (11.0) outsiders to give themselves a chance at qualifying by coming out on top in Budapest.

A draw would see the hosts reach the last eight and that is priced at 6/1 (7.0).

Manchester City vs Borussia Monchengladbach Team News

Pep Guardiola has no injuries or suspensions for this one, with Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan all set to start after being rested at the weekend.

Ramy Bensebaini and Christoph Kramer are both missing for the visitors.

Manchester City vs Borussia Monchengladbach Preview

A professional performance in Hungary should be enough to see City through this one, but they are not likely to rest on their laurels as they look to reach the quarter-finals for the fourth season in a row.

Comfortable 5-2 and 3-0 wins over Southampton and Fulham, respectively, in the last week should mean morale around the club is sky-high and the second leg has every chance of being just as routine as the first for Guardiola’s men.

Monchengladbach could not be in worse form for this pivotal tie, with Marco Rose’s side currently 10th in Bundesliga and without a victory in their last eight games in all competitions – scoring only five and conceding 14 times in that span.

Manchester City vs Borussia Monchengladbach Tips and Predictions

Given the contrasting form between these two sides, it is all set up for City to qualify without breaking much of a sweat and bet365’s price of 21/20 (2.05) on them winning to nil again looks the best bet for this Champions League clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The first leg of this Champions League last-16 tie was decided by the finest of margins and our tipster thinks second leg will be another close game

Click Here: france national rugby union team jersey

Chelsea welcome Atletico Madrid to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie with Thomas Tuchel’s men boasting a 1-0 aggregate lead.

The Blues have been in strong defensive form recently, keeping five consecutive clean sheets in all competitions, and another one against the La Liga leaders would see them progress to the last-eight of the tournament.

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid Latest Odds

The west Londoners are unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions, with their only defeat at home since September coming two months ago against Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Chelsea are offered at 5/4 (2.25) with bet365 to extend that run, while Diego Simeone’s team can be backed at 23/10 (3.30) with the draw at 9/4 (3.25).

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid Team News

The hosts are without suspended duo Jorginho and Mason Mount, while Tammy Abraham and Thiago Silva are likely to miss out through injury.

Despite having suffered numerous absentees throughout the season due to coronavirus and injuries, Atletico actually head to the English capital with a fully-fit squad.

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid Preview

Atletico approached the first leg in unexpectedly negative fashion, at times deploying a 6-3-1 formation, but it was not enough as a piece of outrageous individual brilliance from Olivier Giroud settled the tie in Chelsea’s favour.

The Frenchman’s bicycle kick means that Atletico have to be more adventurous at Stamford Bridge as they go in search of at least one goal, yet they come into the clash in poor form.

Saturday saw them draw 0-0 at relegation-threatened Getafe, the third time in their last seven games they have failed to find the back of the net.

Against a defensively-sound Chelsea side that have kept clean sheets in 10 of their last 12 competitive fixtures, the visitors could struggle to find the breakthrough they need.

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid Tips and Predictions

Under 2.25 goals in the game is priced at 3/4 (1.75) and looks like an interesting selection, with this bet paying out in full if there are less than two goals and returning half the initial stake if two goals are scored exactly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The holders eased to victory in the first leg of this Champions League clash and our tipster is expecting the goals to start early this time around

Bayern Munich and Lazio clash at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 with the Italian side needing somewhat of a miracle to progress.

Click Here: ireland rugby shirts

A first-half onslaught in Rome three weeks ago means the Bundesliga side take a 4-1 lead into this clash, and so their defence of this trophy looks set to continue for at least another round.

Bayern Munich vs Lazio Latest Odds

Considering the result of the first leg, it is no surprise to see Bayern made 1/3 (1.33) favourites by bet365 for the return fixture.

Lazio have lost their last three away games in all competitions and are 13/2 (7.50) outsiders to win in Germany as well as a massive 66/1 (67.0) to overturn the three-goal deficit and qualify.

Only one of the hosts’ last 13 fixtures has ended in a draw and a stalemate here is priced at 5/1 (6.0).

Bayern Munich vs Lazio Team News

Corentin Tolisso, Kingsley Coman and Ron-Thorben Hoffmann are all out for Bayern and, given their commanding aggregate lead, it remains to be seen how strong of a side Hansi Flick names for this one.

Simone Inzaghi will be without Manuel Lazzari and Luiz Felipe for this clash, but otherwise Lazio have a full-strength squad.

Bayern Munich vs Lazio Preview

Given how Lazio fared in the reverse fixture, and the fact they have now lost four of their last six games in all competitions, it seems fairly likely the second leg will go the way of the first.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring after just nine minutes at the Stadio Olimpico to set the tone, and Bayern’s last six matches have all seen a strike inside the opening quarter of the game.

Since that early goal in the first leg, Lazio have also either scored or conceded in the first 20 minutes of their three games and, with the Italians needing to attack to have any chance of qualifying, the action could get started early once again.

Bayern Munich vs Lazio Tips and Predictions

Backing a goal to be scored before 21:00 minutes pays out at 5/6 (1.83) with bet365 and that looks a strong selection for a potentially open Champions League tie, whilst the same firm offers 12/5 (3.40) that there is one inside the opening 10 minutes.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have endured some big problems off the pitch this week and our tipster thinks Spurs will have too much for them in the Europa League

Tottenham travel to Croatia to face Dinamo Zagreb in the last-16 of the Europa League on Thursday evening, with Jose Mourinho’s men well-placed to progress in the competition.

Spurs have a healthy 2-0 aggregate lead thanks to Harry Kane’s brace last week’s first leg and are clear favourites to make it through to the quarter-final of the tournament.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Tottenham Latest Odds

Spurs come into the game off the back of a disappointing defeat in the north London derby against Arsenal at the weekend, yet they are fancied to get back to winning ways at evens (2.00) with bet365.

The hosts, meanwhile, have been in strong form winning nine of their last 10 games in all competitions, with defeat in the English capital being their only loss since January 30.

Dinamo can be backed at 11/4 (3.75) with the draw at 12/5 (3.40).

Dinamo Zagreb vs Tottenham Team News 

The north Londoners are without Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is suspended, while Giovani Lo Celso and Son Heung-Min are both injured.

Full-back Sadegh Moharrami is injured for Dinamo.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Tottenham Preview

The hosts’ preparations for this game have been severely affected with the departure of manager Zoran Mamic this week, who is facing serious legal issues.

As a result, Dinamo will be coached by former player Dario Krznar on Thursday evening, but it is clearly a huge blow for the Croatians and one which Spurs will hope to take advantage of.

The Europa League remains a realistic chance of silverware for Mourinho’s men and despite their first leg lead, they will no doubt be taking Thursday’s match extremely seriously.

Spurs had been on an impressive run before their weekend derby defeat and backing them to get back to winning ways makes plenty of sense.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Tottenham Tips and Predictions

The price of evens (2.00) for Spurs to beat a side they were clearly superior to last week looks highly appealing.

Also worthy of consideration is combining this selection with the visitors to score over 1.5 goals, which sees the odds rise to 6/4 (2.50) and which comfortably paid out in the first leg.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>In confident form in front of goal, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Gunners to exact revenge over Martins' men with a comfortable victory at the Emirates

Click Here: Italy soccer tracksuit

Arsenal will be aiming to complete the job when they welcome Olympiacos to the Emirates Stadium in Thursday’s Europa League last 16 second leg.

The Gunners have one foot in the quarter-finals after running out 3-1 winners in the away leg, although will not be feeling completely secure after crashing out of this competition with a home defeat against this opposition last season.

Arsenal vs Olympiacos Latest Odds

Having won four and lost none of their last five fixtures, Arsenal are priced at 2/5 (1.40) with bet365 to banish those memories by coming out on top once again.

Pedro Martins’ men have lost seven of their last eight matches in European competition this season and are hefty 7/1 (8.00) outsiders to get back into this tie with a shock win.

None of the 11 previous encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 15/4 (4.75) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Arsenal vs Olympiacos Team News

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be hoping to return after being left out of the side for Sunday’s North London derby win due to disciplinary reasons, although Bukayo Saka is unlikely to feature after coming off injured in that clash.

Avraam Papadopolous and Ruben Semedo are both ruled out, while Marios Vrousai and Ousseynou Ba are doubtful.

Arsenal vs Olympiacos Preview

While supporters may harbour lingering doubts after last season’s surprise collapse against the Greek visitors, Mikel Arteta’s players should be feeling confident of getting the job done.

In high spirits after impressive recent wins over Tottenham and Leicester, they have also won eight of their nine matches in this competition this campaign – claiming a creditable draw away to Benfica in the other game.

Averaging exactly three goals per Europa League game, they should have more than enough to see off an Olympiacos team that has kept just one clean sheet in nine matches in all competitions and conceded at least twice in seven of their last eight European fixtures.

Arsenal vs Olympiacos Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 21/20 (2.05) seem generous on Arsenal coming out on top in a match featuring over 2.5 goals for a ninth Europa League game in 10.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both looking sound defensively but lacking cutting edge, Al Hain-Cole expects another tight encounter between the Rossoneri and Solskjaer's men

A place in the Europa League quarter-finals is up for grabs when Manchester United travel to San Siro to take on AC Milan on Thursday.

The tie is finely balanced after the first leg ended up in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, with the Rossoneri grabbing an injury-time equaliser.

AC Milan vs Manchester United Latest Odds

However, having won just one of their last seven matches on home turf, they are 12/5 (3.40) outsiders with bet365 to finish the job by coming out on top here.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have lost just one of their last 19 fixtures in all competitions and are 23/20 (2.15) favourites to progress with a win on the night.

Eight of the guests’ last 13 matches have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 12/5 (3.40) available on them playing out another stalemate in this one.

AC Milan vs Manchester United Team News

Hakan Calhanoglu, Theo Hernandez and Ante Rebic are all back after missing the first leg, while Alessio Romagnoli, Ismael Bennacer and Zlatan Ibrahimovic could also be in contention but Mario Mandzukic is still sidelined.

Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek, Edinson Cavani, and Anthony Martial should be fit to play and David de Gea is back from compassionate leave, although Phil Jones and Juan Mata remain injured.

AC Milan vs Manchester United Preview

It looked as if United would be taking a slender lead to Italy thanks to Amad Diallo’s strike, but Simon Kjaer’s injury time header means the Red Devils travel to San Siro needing to score – something they have not found particularly easy of late.

In fact, they have found the net just four times in their last six matches in all competitions, although can at least rely on a backline that has kept nine clean sheets in 13 fixtures and conceded only once in the most recent six.

On target just twice in their last four home games but having conceded just five times in six games themselves, Stefano Pioli’s side is likely to keep things tight in an attempt to protect the away-goal advantage.

AC Milan vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) offer solid value on under 2.5 goals being scored for Milan’s sixth game in seven and a seventh in a row for Manchester United.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With very little left to play for in the Premier League, our tipster is backing the Saints to outlast their Championship opponents in this FA Cup tie

South coast rivals Bournemouth and Southampton face off for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

As the only Championship side left in this year’s competition, the Cherries are the lowest-ranked team in the running and will be hoping to get one over on their struggling neighbours.

Bournemouth vs Southampton Latest Odds

Bournemouth beat another Premier League side in the fifth round, triumphing 2-0 at Burnley, but are 11/4 (3.75) outsiders with bet365 to repeat the trick against their top-flight opponents.

Three of Southampton’s last four wins have come in the FA Cup and they are 21/20 (2.05) to reach the semi-finals for the second time in four seasons.

A draw would see the clash go into extra-time and potentially penalties and that is 12/5 (3.40) at the online bookmaker.

Bournemouth vs Southampton Team News

Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after rupturing his ACL on Saturday, whilst Adam Smith and David Brooks are also injured.

Danny Ings and Theo Walcott are both out until after the international break for the visitors, with Michael Obafemi, Oriol Romeu and Will Smallbone all long-term absentees.

Bournemouth vs Southampton Preview

The FA Cup has been Southampton’s saving grace this season, with any aspirations of a strong Premier League finish completely dissipating thanks to just two wins in their last 17 games – stark contrast from the seven they recorded in the opening 12 matches.

Indeed, despite their poor league form, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have beaten fellow top-flight sides Arsenal and Wolves in the cup so far and will fancy their chances of continuing that run against a Bournemouth side that will have their minds on other things.

Although the Cherries eased past Swansea City 3-0 on Tuesday, they remain two points off the Championship play-off places and earning promotion back into the Premier League will surely be the priority.

Bournemouth vs Southampton Tips and Predictions

Southampton have little left to play for in the Premier League and so backing them at 21/20 (2.05) with bet365 to reach the FA Cup semi-finals with victory in normal time looks the best bet here, especially with Bournemouth likely to be focusing on matters in the Championship.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts' La Liga matches this season average the fourth-highest number of goals and our tipster is expecting action when the champions visit

Real Madrid travel to Estadio Balaidos on Saturday afternoon to face Celta Vigo in La Liga with Zinedine Zidane’s men aiming to continue their strong recent run of form.

Los Blancos are unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions and Tuesday night saw them book their place in the quarter-final of the Champions League with a comfortable 3-1 win over Atalanta.

Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

Celta have lost just one of their last nine home league matches, although they have failed to beat Real Madrid in any of their last seven competitive clashes in Vigo.

The hosts are offered at 16/5 (4.20) with bet365 while Madrid can be backed at 3/4 (1.75) to record their ninth away win of the season, with the draw at 29/10 (3.90).

Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Team News

Real are without Eden Hazard, who is facing an extended spell on the sidelines with an ankle problem, while Dani Carvajal is also still out.

Celta manager Eduardo Caudet is still without his two first-choice goalkeepers in Ruben Blanco and Sergio Alvarez, while Emre Mor is a doubt.

Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Preview

Los Blancos begin the weekend six points behind leaders Atletico Madrid and know they have little margin for error if they are to retain their La Liga title.

The last few weeks have seen Madrid score late goals against Huesca, Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid and Elche to pick up points in matches which looked lost – keeping their title hopes alive.

Zidane’s men have scored in 21 of their last 22 competitive fixtures and should have little trouble betting in Vigo against a Celta side who have the third-worst defensive home record this season, conceding 19 goals in 13 league games.

Caudet’s men have, though, scored in eight of their last 10 league games at Estadio Balaidos and certainly have enough firepower to get on the score sheet.

Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 3/4 (1.75) with bet365 and has paid out in each of Real Madrid’s last four matches in all competitions, making it a strong selection for this La Liga clash.

Manchester City continue their quest for the quadruple when they travel to Goodison Park to take on Everton in Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final.

The Citizens are 14 points clear at the top of the Premier League table and eased into the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, having already booked a place in the Carabao Cup final.

Everton vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Having won their last six consecutive matches against this opposition, City are 1/3 (1.33) favourites with bet365 to move one step closer to this trophy by coming out on top on Merseyside.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men have lost their last two games in the league but can be backed at 15/2 (8.50) to bounce back by pulling off a big upset here.

Two of the hosts’ three matches in this competition this season have been decided in extra-time, and you can get odds of 9/2 (5.50) on this one also remaining all square after 90 minutes.

Everton vs Manchester City Team News

Jordan Pickford, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Fabian Delph, Abdoulaye Doucoure, and James Rodriguez are all ruled out through injury, with Robin Olsen facing a late fitness test.

With a fully fit squad to choose from, the guests could offer the likes of Zack Steffen, Benjamin Mendy and Sergio Aguero a rare start in a reshuffled line-up.

Everton vs Manchester City Preview

Whatever team Pep Guardiola chooses to go with, it is hard to see their pursuit of a clean sweep of trophies being derailed at a ground where they have won on each of the last four consecutive visits by two clear goals.

What’s more, the Toffees come into this clash missing a number of key players through injury and on the back of a disappointing defeat against Burnley – their fourth loss in six home matches.

With just four regulation time wins on home turf in their last 16 matches in all competitions, the hosts certainly don’t look capable of upsetting a City team that has enjoyed 24 victories in the previous 25 fixtures.

Everton vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

Instead, odds of 5/6 (1.83) seem like decent value on Everton losing by at least two clear goals for a sixth game in seven against this opposition.
