class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having seen their home form desert them recently, Al Hain-Cole can't see the Blues upsetting Guardiola's men at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup

After sealing their places in the final four of the Champions League, Chelsea and Manchester City will return their focus to domestic silverware when they meet at Wembley in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final.

The Blues progressed past Porto despite losing 1-0 at home on Tuesday, their second consecutive defeat in their own backyard.

Chelsea vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Although they recorded a memorable 5-1 victory over this opposition the last time they met in the FA Cup back in 2016, Chelsea are 15/4 (4.75) outsiders with bet365 to pull off another upset.

Pep Guardiola’s men progressed to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since his arrival by seeing off Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in midweek and are priced at 3/4 (1.75) to follow that up with another victory here.

None of the guests’ last 30 matches in all competitions have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them taking this one into extra-time with a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Chelsea vs Manchester City Team News

Mateo Kovacic will once again miss out due to the hamstring injury he picked up in training prior to the Porto clash.

City striker Sergio Aguero is facing a late fitness test as he struggles with a minor injury, while Zach Steffen will hope to start in goal after being picked for each of the three previous rounds.

Chelsea vs Manchester City Preview

Although Chelsea’s record in recent home encounters against this opposition is relatively than respectable – winning two and drawing one of the last four in all competitions – they do not come into this clash in top form.

Having remained unbeaten for his first 14 matches and kept a clean sheet in 23 of those, Thomas Tuchel has now seen his side lose two of their last four and concede seven times in those fixtures.

This does not bode well for a game against a Citizens side in high spirits after finally breaking their Champions League semi-final hoodoo with a 16th consecutive victory on the road in all competitions.

Chelsea vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

In fact, those 3/4 (1.75) odds are well worth backing on Manchester City remaining on course for the quadruple by consigning Chelsea to a third defeat in five.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The final of the Copa del Rey takes place in the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville this weekend and our tipster is backing the Catalans to lift the trophy

The two most successful clubs in the history of Spain’s Copa del Rey meet in the final this Saturday as Barcelona take on Athletic Club.

The Basques were in action two weeks ago in the postponed final of last season’s competition and will be hoping to banish the memories of defeat to local rivals Real Sociedad with a memorable win over the Catalans, who they beat in the final of the Spanish Super Cup back in January.

Ronald Koeman’s men will be focused on securing his first piece of silverware as manager Barca, who are clear favourites to triumph.

Athletic Club vs Barcelona Latest OddsIndeed, Barca are available at just 8/15 (1.53) to win in 90 minutes and at 1/4 (1.25) to win their 31st Copa del Rey crown. 

The Basques come into the final on a disappointing run of form which has seen them fail to win any of their last six matches in all competitions.

Indeed, the side from Bilbao have only won two of their last 15 competitive games in 90 minutes and bet365 price them at 19/4 (4.75) to win without extra time and at 11/4 (3.75) to lift the trophy by any means.

Athletic Club vs Barcelona Team News

The Catalans remain without long-term absentees Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho, but Gerard Pique was an unused substitute in last weekend’s Clasico defeat to Real Madrid and could come back into the starting eleven.

Athletic were missing defenders Yuri Berchiche and Yeray Alvarez for their goalless draw against Alaves last weekend, although both have been back in training this week and should be available. 

Athletic Club vs Barcelona Preview

This will be the fourth meeting between these two sides this season, with Barcelona winning both La Liga clashes and Athletic triumphing in extra time in the Spanish Super Cup.

Those three matches all came back in January and the two sides have enjoyed contrasting fortunes since that final meeting, with Barca winning eight of their 10 Liga games and Athletic failing to kick on under new manager Marcelino Garcia Toral.

The Catalans will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment of losing the Clasico, a game in which they could easily have triumphed, and Koeman’s charges should be well fancied against an out-of-form Athletic side.

Athletic Club vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

Barca to win and score over 1.5 goals is priced at 4/5 (1.80) and looks like the best way of getting the Blaugrana onside in a market where they are heavily fancied.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Gunners have a strong record against the bottom four in the Premier League and our tipster is backing them to score at least twice in north London

Arsenal welcome Fulham to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in the Premier League with Mikel Arteta’s side aiming to continue their positive momentum after reaching the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday night.

The Gunners eased to a 4-0 win at Slavia Prague and are clear favourites to record a win this weekend against their struggling opponents, who have lost their last four matches and remain six points from safety. 

Arsenal vs Fulham Latest Odds

The north Londoners enjoyed a 3-0 success at Craven Cottage back in September and bet365 offer the hosts on Sunday at 7/10 (1.70) to claim another win.

Fulham have only won three times on the road this season but each of those victories have come against top-eight opposition – Leicester City, Liverpool, and Everton.

Scott Parker’s men, though, are priced at 19/5 (4.80) with the draw at 14/5 (3.80).

Arsenal vs Fulham Team News

The hosts are without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who has malaria, while David Luiz and Kieran Tierney are also sidelined. Martin Odegaard was not available to face Slavia Prague on Thursday and the Norwegian remains a doubt for this weekend’s clash.

The visitors remain without Tom Cairney and Marek Rodak, whilst Ademola Lookman is a doubt.

Arsenal vs Fulham Preview

The Gunners’ priorities for the rest of the season no doubt lie in the Europa League, with their semi-final against Villarreal on April 29 set to be a season-defining match.

Nevertheless, Arteta will want his side to go into that clash in good form and with plenty of confidence, which should be able to be built against a struggling Fulham outfit.

Indeed, Arsenal have been in relatively strong scoring form recently, netting at least twice in seven of their last 11 competitive games, while Fulham have conceded in five of their last six games and there should be interest in backing the hosts to have plenty of joy.

Arsenal vs Fulham Tips and Predictions

The Gunners are offered at 5/6 (1.83) to score over 1.5 goals and this bet has comfortably played out in their matches this season against other sides battling relegation, such as Sheffield United, West Brom and Newcastle United, as well as in the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts are on a terrible run of form but our tipster expects Sunday night's clash will be a tight, low-scoring match at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez

Real Madrid make the short trip to Getafe on Sunday evening in La Liga with Zinedine Zidane’s men aiming to continue their excellent recent form.

Last weekend saw them beat Barcelona 2-1 in the Clasico, a result which came in the middle of their successful two-legged Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool.

It is, then, no surprise to see Los Blancos as clear favourites to win against their less-illustrious neighbours from the south of the Spanish capital, who are very much involved in a battle to avoid relegation.

Getafe vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

Los Azulones have won just one of their last 12 matches and bet365 offer them at 5/1 (6.00) to claim three points this weekend.

The visitors are available at 8/13 (1.62) to record their 10th away win of the league campaign, with the draw priced at 11/4 (3.75).

Getafe vs Real Madrid Team News

Zidane is unable to call upon a number of players this weekend, with Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez, Eden Hazard, Sergio Ramos and Rafael Varane all injured, whilst Nacho Fernandez and Casemiro are both suspended.

Getafe have defender Erick Cabaco and striker Cucho Hernandez both out, and fellow forward Enes Unal is a doubt

Getafe vs Real Madrid Preview

Jose Bordalas’ side begin the weekend just four points above the relegation zone, with their lack of attacking prowess no doubt the reason for their struggles this season.

Getafe are the lowest scorers in the Spanish top-flight netting just 22 goals in 30 matches, with the side failing to score in eight of their last 11 league clashes.

Real Madrid might have problems with personnel at the back but will be buoyed after keeping a clean sheet against Liverpool in midweek, and a goal-shy Getafe side are unlikely to pose the Spanish champions many problems.

Los Blancos have the second-best defence in the division, conceding just 24 times, and they should be able to keep their opponents at bay.

Getafe vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

The visitors are offered at evens (2.00) to keep a clean sheet which should appeal, while under 2.5 goals and both teams to score ‘no’ looks like an excellent option at 21/20 (2.05).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Despite their strong record at Old Trafford, Al Hain-Cole expects the Clarets to suffer a high-scoring defeat against Solskjaer's in-form outfit

Burnley will be hoping to pull off another Old Trafford upset when they take on Manchester United in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

Sean Dyche’s men boast a surprisingly good record at this stadium, having gone four matches unbeaten and managed a shock 2-0 win in their last visit.

Manchester United vs Burnley Latest Odds

However, they are 8/1 (9.00) outsiders with bet365 to extend that run with another surprise victory here.

The Red Devils have only lost one of their last 19 matches in all competitions and are clear 1/3 (1.33) favourites to close the gap on leaders Manchester City to eight points by coming out on top.

Three of the last four meetings between this duo at this ground have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 17/4 (5.25) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Manchester United vs Burnley Team News

Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw are available once again following suspension while Eric Bailly has returned from COVID-19 isolation and Marcus Rashford is likely to have recovered from a minor injury. However, Phil Jones and Anthony Martial remain sidelined.

Nick Pope, Jay Rodriguez and Kevin Long will face late fitness tests for the guests, with Robbie Brady and Ashley Barnes both definitely ruled out.

Manchester United vs Burnley Preview

The Clarets’ string of positive results at this ground have not merely come as a result of stout rearguard action, with their attack scoring twice in each of the last three visits.

What’s more, their recent away games this season have generally been high-scoring, with five of the last six producing three goals or more and the most recent three serving up 12 in total.

Considering Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team has produced 38 goals at either end in just the last nine league games in their own backyard, another entertaining encounter seems likely once again here.

Manchester United vs Burnley Tips and Predictions

It is hard to see another Burnley upset after a run of just two wins in 13 fixtures and so odds of 21/20 (2.05) looking generous on an in-form United side winning their fifth match in succession in a game featuring more than two goals.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>It has been 52 years since the Foxes last graced an FA Cup final and our tipster is backing them to get among the goals in this Wembley semi-final

Leicester City are gunning to reach their first FA Cup final in over 50 years when they meet Southampton at Wembley in Sunday’s semi-final.

The Foxes beat Manchester United in the last round and while silverware is always a motivation, qualification for the Champions League almost certainly remains a priority for Brendan Rodgers’ men.

Leicester City vs Southampton Latest Odds

Currently third in the Premier League, Leicester have been installed as 5/6 (1.83) favourites with bet365 to win this match inside 90 minutes.

Southampton have won more games in the FA Cup than in the league this calendar year and are 10/3 (4.33) to reach their first final since 2003.

A draw would see the clash go into extra time and potentially penalties, and that is available at 11/4 (3.75).

Leicester City vs Southampton Team News

James Maddison, Hamza Choudhury and Ayoze Perez were all missed Leicester’s defeat at West Ham last weekend for disciplinary reasons but should return here along with Caglar Soyuncu, but Harvey Barnes, James Justin, Cengiz Under and Wes Morgan are all out.

Southampton’s only absentees are Michael Obafemi, Oriol Romeu and Will Smallbone, who are all out for the rest of the season with injury.

Leicester City vs Southampton Preview

Leicester have faltered in recent weeks with only three wins in their last eight games, although they will be buoyed by beating Man Utd for the first time since 2014 in the last round of this competition.

Despite some below-par performances in those fixtures, the Foxes have netted 14 times and should have little problem against a Southampton side that have been nothing short of atrocious in 2021.

The Saints have lost 11 of their 15 Premier League games this year, conceding 37 and keeping a clean sheet only against rock-bottom Sheffield United.

Leicester City vs Southampton Tips and Predictions

With that in mind, Leicester to score over 1.5 goals at 5/6 (1.83) with bet365 looks the best selection for this FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Rodgers’ men have achieved this in four of their last five games in all competitions, while Southampton have conceded more than once in six of their most recent seven against fellow Premier League sides.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having avoided defeat against both Chelsea and Manchester City on their impressive recent run, Al Hain-Cole expects Bielsa's men to frustrate the Reds

Liverpool will be aiming to move into the Premier League’s top-four when they travel to Elland Road to take on Leeds United on Monday.

The Reds have won three league games in a row for the first time since the opening three matches of the campaign, a run which began by beating this opposition 4-3 at Anfield.

Leeds United vs Liverpool Latest Odds

Having won seven and lost none of the previous nine meetings between the sides, they are 13/20 (1.65) favourites with bet365 to go above Chelsea and West Ham into the Champions League places by coming out on top once again.

However, Marcelo Bielsa’s men are also enjoying a three-match winning streak and can be backed at 7/2 (4.50) to follow last week’s shock win over Manchester City by pulling off another upset.

None of the guests’ last 13 league fixtures have resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 7/2 (4.50) on them being forced to settle for a single point here.

Leeds United vs Liverpool Team News

Raphinha will be assessed after coming off injured at the Etihad Stadium, while Rodrigo remains sidelined and Liam Cooper is suspended.

Caoimhin Kelleher and Curtis Jones are both facing fitness tests, with Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson all definitely ruled out.

Leeds United vs Liverpool Preview

Although it would most likely be only until Chelsea played their game in hand on Tuesday, moving back into the top-four would be a massive boost for Jurgen Klopp’s men considering they looked cut adrift a few weeks ago.

Nevertheless, victory will not come easily against a home side that has taken 10 points from the last available 12 – taking four of those against Manchester City and Chelsea.

Indeed, Liverpool do not seem particularly worthy of their status as such heavy favourites given their understrength line-up and the rather unconvincing nature of recent wins against Wolves and Aston Villa.

Leeds United vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions

In fact, odds of 6/5 (2.20) look far more inviting on Leeds extending their excellent recent run by at least avoiding defeat in this clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Blues in strong form, our tipster is backing them to record a routine win against their relegation-threatened opponents at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening in the Premier League with Thomas Tuchel’s side full of confidence after their FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City at the weekend.

The Blues also have a Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid next week but will be focused on the visit of the Seagulls, who themselves come into the game after a goalless draw against Everton. 

Chelsea vs Brighton Latest Odds

The Blues lost their last home league game 5-2 against West Brom but can be backed at 4/7 (1.57) to claim three points on Tuesday night with bet365.

Graham Potter’s side have been considerably better on the road this season than at home, with five of their seven top-flight wins coming away from the Amex Stadium.

The visitors, though, are priced at 5/1 (6.00) with the draw at 3/1 (4.00) .

Chelsea vs Brighton Team News

Mateo Kovacic missed Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final at the weekend with a muscle problem and is likely to be sidelined again, while Thiago Silva is a doubt along with Andreas Christensen.

The side from the south coast are without Solly March, Tariq Lamptey, and Florin Andone, but Aaron Connolly could return.

Chelsea vs Brighton and Hove Albion Preview

Tuchel’s men have been in impressive form in recent weeks and apart from the aberration against West Brom, they have looked extremely solid and well organised.

The hosts also boast a strong record against Brighton, whom they beat 3-1 back in September, and there should be plenty of interest in backing them to record another win.

Prior to their defeat by Sam Allardyce’s team, which was dictated by Thiago Silva’s early red card, Chelsea had kept five consecutive home clean sheets and had also recorded some comfortable home wins against teams in the bottom half of the table.

The two side immediately above and below Brighton in the table, Newcastle and Burnley, have both been beaten 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the last few months, and the Blues should be able to record another straightforward win.

Chelsea vs Brighton and Hove Albion Tips and Predictions

Chelsea to win and score over 1.5 goals is priced at 20/21 (1.98) and should be an appealing way of getting the hosts onside, with this bet paying out in six of the seven meetings between these two sides in the Premier League.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>After missing out on a chance for the quadruple, Al Hain-Cole expects Guardiola's men to move one step closer to the title with a big win over Villa

Manchester City will be determined to bounce back when they travel to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa in Wednesday’s Premier League clash.

The Citizens saw their hopes of completing an unprecedented quadruple dashed by last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final defeat against Chelsea, but are still in line to win a treble.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Having also suffered a surprise 2-1 home defeat against Leeds in their last league match, they are available at 4/11 (1.36) with bet365 to get back on track with a morale-boosting victory here.

Dean Smith’s team has won just one of their last six fixtures in all competitions and are 8/1 (9.00) outsiders to upset the leaders by coming out on top, or priced at 15/4 (4.75) to earn a creditable draw.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City Team News

Trezeguet has joined Jack Grealish and Wesley on the sidelines after suffering a season-ending knee injury against Liverpool, while Morgan Sanson will face a late fitness test.

Kevin De Bruyne is likely to be out for a month with the ankle injury he picked up against Chelsea, with Sergio Aguero also an injury doubt.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City Preview

With their quadruple dream now over for another season, Pep Guardiola’s men will be fired up to ensure their title bid does not derail after looking like an inevitability for so long.

While their eight-point lead is still commanding, two defeats in the last five league matches does leave a glimmer of hope for a chasing pack led by second-placed Manchester United.

However, they will certainly back themselves to take the points against a side that has struggled without the inspirational Grealish – winning just twice in eight matches in his absence.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 20/21 (1.95) seem generous on a motivated City side winning by at least two clear goals for their eighth league game in nine on the road, as well as a sixth match in seven against Villa.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both sides played out goalless draws during their La Liga games at the weekend and our tipster is backing another low-scoring encounter on Wednesday

Real Madrid are aiming to get back to winning ways when they travel to the Estadio Ramon de Carranza on Wednesday evening to face Cadiz in La Liga.

Following a fantastic week which saw them beat Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals and win the Clasico against Barcelona, Los Blancos slipped up on Sunday night with a 0-0 draw at relegation-threatened Getafe.

The capital club will certainly be wary of a Cadiz side who not only beat them in Madrid earlier this season, but who have also taken four points from their two meetings with Barca this term. 

Cadiz vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

A run of 11 points from the last possible 18 have seen Cadiz move nine points clear of the relegation zone and bet365 offer a home win at 8/1 (9.00).

The current Spanish champions are priced at 4/11 (1.44) while the draw can be backed at 15/4 (4.75).

Cadiz vs Real Madrid Team News

Los Blancos have been decimated by injuries and are still missing Sergio Ramos, Eden Hazard, Lucas Vazquez and Fede Valverde. However, Nacho Fernandez and Casemiro are both back from suspension while Dani Carvajal and Rafael Varane could both also return.

Cadiz, for their part, have doubts over defender Juan Cala and midfielder Alex Fernandez.

Cadiz vs Real Madrid Preview

Both sides come into the game following goalless draws at the weekend and there is plenty to suggest that we are in for another low-scoring encounter on Wednesday evening.

Cadiz are a team that generally cede possession and defend deep in numbers, with the Andalusians averaging just 38 per cent of the ball in league games this season.

Madrid have struggled to break down teams that sit back and there is little doubt that that Cervera’s men will once more attempt to frustrate Los Blancos by affording them little space.

This will be Real’s sixth game in 18 days and with them looking fatigued at the weekend against Getafe, there is every chance that the visitors will find it tough to break down the hosts’ defence. 

Cadiz vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

Under 2.5 goals has paid out in three of Madrid’s last four away league games and a repeat is priced at a very strong 10/11 (1.91).
