class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Struggling for cutting edge, Al Hain-Cole expects the Cottagers to leave Stamford Bridge empty-handed when they take on Tuchel's watertight team

There is more than local pride at stake when Chelsea welcome Fulham to Stamford Bridge in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

Thomas Tuchel’s men are looking to shore up their place in the top four, having moved four points clear of West Ham with a 1-0 win at the London Stadium last weekend.

Chelsea vs Fulham Latest Odds

Unbeaten in 20 matches against their neighbours, they are 4/9 (1.44) favourites with bet365 to move another step towards Champions League qualification with another seventh successive derby win.

The Cottagers’ survival hopes are hanging by a thread as they sit seven points adrift of safety with five matches remaining, although they can be backed at 13/2 (7.50) to keep the dream alive with a shock win on enemy territory.

Eight of the guests’ last 11 away games have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 10/3 (4.33) on them playing out yet another stalemate.

Chelsea vs Fulham Team News

Mateo Kovacic is the only injury concern for the hosts, who are likely to field somewhat of a rotated line-up ahead of next week’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid.

Kenny Tete could be back following COVID-19 isolation, although Marek Rodak is an injury doubt, Tom Cairney and Terence Kongolo are definitely ruled out, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek is ineligible to face his parent club.

Chelsea vs Fulham Preview

Fulham’s spate of stalemates goes a long way to explaining why Scott Parker’s team has failed to break out of the bottom three this season, with a lack of cutting edge in attack preventing them from turning draws into victories.

Indeed, they have conceded fewer goals than Champions League candidates West Ham but scored fewer than any club except rock bottom Sheffield United.

It is therefore hard to see them pulling off an upset against a Blues side that has kept a clean sheet in six out of seven home league matches since Frank Lampard’s departure – conceding just nine times in 21 fixtures in total.

Chelsea vs Fulham Tips and Predictions

With this in mind, odds of 13/10 (2.30) seem generous on Chelsea winning while keeping a seventh clean sheet in 10 when they take on a Fulham outfit that has scored just four times in eight matches.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the hosts focused on their upcoming Champions League semi-final and the visitors having little at stake, our tipster is backing a low-scorer

Real Madrid welcome Osasuna to the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Saturday with Zinedine Zidane’s men aiming to keep the pressure on Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at the top of La Liga.

Los Blancos start the weekend two points off the pace and a win here is vital, but they will also have one eye on Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Latest Odds

The hosts are unbeaten in their last 17 matches in all competitions and bet365 offer a home win at 4/11 (1.44).

Osasuna have been in strong form of late despite their 2-1 loss at Celta last weekend which ended a run of three consecutive victories, and they can be backed at 15/2 (8.50) to bounce back with another win.

The last meeting between these sides ended goalless back in January and another stalemate is priced at 4/1 (5.00).

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Team News 

Sergio Ramos, Ferland Mendy and Lucas Vazquez all missed Tuesday’s Champions League game through injury and are unlikely to be risked in this one, whilst Fede Valverde is out with coronavirus and Dani Carvajal is ruled out.

Osasuna have no major injury concerns heading into the game.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Preview

Osasuna head to the Spanish capital free of any pressure, having all but mathematically secured their top-flight status with a run of three wins and three draws that was only ended last weekend.

That also means the visitors will lack any real motivation, although they will get fewer better chances to beat Real Madrid than this weekend with Los Blancos in the middle of the Champions League semi-final and likely to rest players.

That said, Zidane’s side cannot totally ignore La Liga as they are still involved in the title race, and they will surely be hoping to grind out a win without too much exertion.

A low-scoring clash looks especially likely, given that Osasuna are one of the least prolific sides on the road in La Liga with only Valladolid scoring fewer than Los Rojillos 13 goals away from home.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Tips and Predictions

Under 2.5 goals is available and a healthy looking 11/10 (2.10), a selection which has paid out in seven of Osasuna’s last nine away games.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both the Magpies and the Gunners have had plenty of joy going forward recently and Goal is backing a high-scoring Premier League clash on Sunday

Newcastle United will be hoping to take a step closer to Premier League survival when they host Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

Teetering on the edge of the relegation zone just a few weeks ago, the Magpies have hit a run of form to move nine points clear of 18th.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal Latest Odds

Despite being unbeaten in four, bet365 make the hosts 5/2 (3.50) outsiders to beat Arsenal for the first time in more than three years.

The Gunners have won the last six iterations of this fixture and are Even Money (2.0) favourites to be victorious for only the fifth time in their last 14 league games this season.

Newcastle drew 1-1 at Liverpool in their last outing and another stalemate is available at 27/10 (3.70).

Newcastle United vs Arsenal Team News

Joe Willock scored with the last kick of the game at Anfield but is ineligible to face his parent club, joining the injured Jamaal Lascelles, Ryan Fraser, Karl Darlow, Fabian Schar and Isaac Hayden on the sidelines.

Kieran Tierney, David Luiz and Alexandre Lacazette all face late fitness tests, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returned off the bench against Villarreal in midweek and should start here.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal Preview

After an unsteady winter dragged Newcastle back into the relegation battle, their recent results have not only seen them essentially secure another season in the top-flight but also find the net with regularity.

Nine of the Magpies’ 36 Premier League goals this season have come from their last six games and they will certainly fancy their chances of breaching an Arsenal defence whose only top-flight clean sheet since January 30 came against rock-bottom Sheffield United.

However, Steve Bruce’s men are still conceding consistently with 10 goals against them in their last six and just a single clean sheet in across their most recent 12.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal Tips and Predictions

With that in mind, combining both teams to score with over 2.5 goals at 21/20 (2.05) looks a solid bet to land for the fourth time in Newcastle’s last five.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>This is a fixture that generally produces entertainment and Goal is backing the Blaugrana's trip to Mestalla to serve up more goals this weekend

Barcelona travel to Valencia on Sunday with Ronald Koeman’s side aiming to regain momentum in the La Liga title race.

The Blaugrana missed the chance to go top of the table on Thursday night after conceding twice in the second half to suffer a first ever home defeat at the hands of Granada, and they can ill-afford another slip-up this weekend.

Valencia vs Barcelona Latest Odds

The hosts come into the game with their top-flight status yet to be confirmed and a difficult campaign for Los Che sees them sitting just six points above the relegation zone with five matches left to play.

Javi Gracia’s side have won only eight of their 33 games this term, with six of those victories coming at home, and another success is priced at 6/1 (7.00) by bet365.

Barca have the best away record in the division with 11 wins from their 16 games on the road and are offered at 9/25 (1.36) with the draw at 9/2 (5.50) .

Valencia vs Barcelona Team News 

Both sides have relatively few injury concerns with, Valencia’s only possible playing missing likely to be full-back Thierry Correia who is a doubt with a knee problem.

Koeman continues to be without long-term absentees Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati, while Martin Braithwaite is also sidelined.

Valencia vs Barcelona Preview

Valencia’s wretched campaign stems from an extremely poor away record, with the side having picked up two points from the previous possible 27.

If their form on the road had matched their results at Mestalla, Javi Gracia’s side would be pushing for a European place because they are unbeaten in eight games in theit home stadium.

Valencia have competed admirably against the top sides in the division at home, beating Real Madrid 4-1 and only going down to late goals against both Atletico Madrid and Sevilla.

Despite their turbulent season, Los Che should be able to take the game to a Barca side who are looking increasingly tired as they limp towards the finish line and try to regain La Liga title.

Valencia vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/5 (1.80) looks like an excellent selection.

This bet has paid out in four of the last five competitive meetings between the sides, including back in December when they played out an eventful 2-2 draw at the Camp Nou.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Spurs have been involved in plenty of high-scoring Premier League games recently and Goal is expecting another entertaining clash against the Blades

Tottenham will be looking to keep the pressure on fourth-placed Chelsea when they host relegated Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday.

Spurs began the weekend in seventh place, five points behind the Blues, and will almost certainly need to win their remaining five fixtures to have any chance of qualifying for next year’s Champions League.

Tottenham vs Sheffield United Latest Odds

Caretaker manager Ryan Mason won his first match in charge against Southampton, and bet365 make it just 1/4 (1.25) that he continues his 100 per cent record in the Premier League.

The Blades recorded a rare success last weekend with victory over Brighton, but they are still rank 11/1 (12.0) outsiders to pick up maximum points for only the sixth time this season.

Only two of Sheffield United’s matches this season have finished in a draw and it is 5/1 (6.0) that they secure a point in this one.

Tottenham vs Sheffield United Team News

Spurs defender Matt Doherty is back in training and could feature, but fellow full-back Ben Davies is still out.

Chris Basham, Oli McBurnie, Billy Sharp, Jack O’Connell and Jack Robinson are all injured, but Sander Berge is in line to at least be included in the matchday squad.

Tottenham vs Sheffield United Preview

Spurs’ quest for a Champions League place has been on the back foot for most of the season but it has come to a screeching halt in recent weeks, with two wins from six leaving them behind the chasing pack.

It is still possible that Mason’s men do claim a seat at Europe’s top table next term and their recent scoring record will at least give them hope that they can push all the way, having netted 18 times in their last nine Premier League outings.

They will almost certainly have little trouble increasing that tally against the Blades, who have conceded 39 goals in their 18 games against top-half clubs this season, losing 17 of those fixtures.

Given United have already been relegated, they may opt to play more care-free football than they usually do, which could contribute to a high-scoring game considering the hosts have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven league matches.

Tottenham vs Sheffield United Tips and Predictions

Over 2.5, 3.0 goals is offered at 1.920 by bet365, and has paid out fully in four of Spurs’ last seven Premier League games while providing a half-win in two of the remaining three.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With a comfortable lead to protect, Al Hain-Cole expects Guardiola's men to maintain their habit of starting slowly against Les Parisiens

Manchester City will be looking to secure their place in a first-ever Champions League final when they welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

Pep Guardiola’s men already have one foot in Istanbul after running out 2-1 winners at the Parc des Princes, overturning a 1-0 half-time deficit with two precious away goals.

Manchester City vs PSG Latest Odds

Having won five out of five home games in this season’s competition, City are 13/20 (1.65) favourites with bet365 to complete the job by coming out on top here.

However, Les Parisiens have won six of their last seven Champions League matches on the road and can be backed at 15/4 (4.75) to get themselves back into the tie with a big win.

Just one of the hosts’ last 19 home fixtures has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 16/5 (4.20) on them settling for a stalemate in this one.

Manchester City vs PSG Team News

With a fully fit squad to choose from, Guardiola’s is set to bring the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Joao Cancelo, and Ilkay Gundogan back into the line-up after resting them for Saturday’s Premier League win over Crystal Palace.

Kylian Mbappe will face a late fitness test after sitting out Saturday’s win over Lens with a calf injury, while Idrissa Gueye is suspended and Juan Bernat definitely ruled out.

Manchester City vs PSG Preview

The Citizens’ hopes of finally reaching an elusive Champions League final seemed to be fading away when they went in 1-0 down at the break in Paris and struggling to get a foothold in the game.

Instead, they came out in the second half and put in a dominant display that earned two goals and saw Mauricio Pochettino’s team committing numerous fouls in frustration.

This has actually been a recurring theme throughout this season’s Champions League campaign, where City have scored 16 of their 23 goals in the second 45 – hitting the net prior to half-time just once in their three most recent matches.

Manchester City vs PSG Tips and Predictions

With a comfortable lead to protect, odds of 20/21 (1.95) seem like solid value on City ensuring goals are at a premium until at least the second half against a PSG team potentially missing Mbappe.

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

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Mbappe unlikely to be at 100% for PSG, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Citizens' star playmaker to extend his prolific streak from an advanced role

Paris Saint-Germain will be desperate for Kylian Mbappe to prove his fitness ahead of their Champions League second leg at Manchester City on Tuesday.

Despite failing to register a shot in the first leg, the France star has provided seven of Les Parisiens’ last 10 goals in this competition but is struggling to overcome the calf issue that saw him sit out Saturday’s Ligue 1 victory over Lens.

Should he be passed fit, he is his side’s 11/2 (6.50) favourite with bet365 to open the scoring at the Etihad Stadium and priced at 6/4 (2.50) to strike anytime.

Mbappe’s absence would place further pressure on the shoulders of Neymar, who has not scored in this competition since the group stages.

Nevertheless, having found the net in the 2-1 victory over Lens at the weekend, he is available at 7/4 (2.75) to step up with a 42nd career goal in this competition – drawing level with Alessandro Del Piero in the all-time standings.

Having scored in successive matches against Bayern, City and Lens, Marquinhos is a tempting 9/1 (10.00) long shot to extend an unlikely prolific streak marking a fourth Champions League game in seven with a goal.

Despite offering a reminder of his deadly instincts in front of goal with an eye-catching strike in Saturday’s Premier League win over Crystal Palace, Sergio Aguero is unlikely to feature in Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up.

The club legend is level with Neymar on 41 Champions League goals and the Citizens’ 15/4 (4.75) favourite to break the deadlock, priced at just 20/21 (1.95) anytime.

However, Kevin De Bruyne seems set to lead the line in a false nine role that has seen him on target in three of his last four Champions League games, making 6/4 (2.50) odds look rather generous on him doing so once again.

Riyad Mahrez has also been a key figure in the knockout stages after striking in both of the last two matches and is on offer at 13/8 (2.63) to make it three in a row in what promises to be an exciting clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors have been reliant on their number nine for goals this season but Goal's tipster thinks could be value in a strike to come from midfield

Real Madrid head to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening knowing they must score against Chelsea to have any hope of progressing to what would be their fourth Champions League final in six years.

Following last week’s 1-1 draw in the first leg of their semi-final, failure to find the back of the net in west London would see Zinedine Zidane’s men exit the competition and so the onus is on the La Liga side to take the game to the Blues.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid Latest Goalscorer Odds

Karim Benzema scored Madrid’s goal last week with a brilliant first half strike that was his 71st goal in the Champions League and the Frenchman remains Los Blancos outstanding goal threat.

The former Lyon forward can be backed at 6/4 (2.50) to score at any time and at 9/2 (5.50) to open the scoring.

However, the shortest-priced player to score at Stamford Bridge is Olivier Giroud, who did not feature in the first leg but is offered at 11/8 (2.38) to find the back of the net – something that Timo Werner really should have managed last week.

The German missed a glorious early chance and is priced at 15/8 (2.88) in the anytime scorers market with Christian Pulisic, who netted in the first leg, at 9/4 (3.25) and Kai Havertz at 11/4 (3.75) following his domestic double at the weekend.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid Goalscorer Tips and Predictions

There is little doubt that Madrid are reliant on their best attacking player for goals, but apart from Benzema, there are some interesting goal-scoring options in the market for the visitors.

Casemiro is the team’s second-top scorer behind the Frenchman this term and Saturday saw him score his sixth league goal of the season, making this his most prolific campaign for Los Blancos.

The Brazilian is offered at 7/1 (8.00) to score while Eden Hazard is likely to start the game against his former club and since his return from injury a couple of weeks ago, the Belgian has looked to be getting back to his best form.

Hazard can be backed at 3/1 (4.00) to score what would surely be an emotional goal against the side for whom his scored 110 times.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>After delivering a big win in the first leg, our tipster is backing the Red Devils to qualify for the Europa League final in style

Manchester United will be hoping for a trouble-free evening when they travel to Roma for the second leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday.

An extraordinary blitz in the second period at Old Trafford last week saw the Red Devils turn a 2-1 half-time deficit into a stunning 6-2 victory, effectively ending the tie.

Roma vs Manchester United Latest Odds

After that incredible result last week, bet365 make Manchester United 17/20 (1.85) favourites to follow up with another win at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma came back from a 3-0 first-leg defeat to beat Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final in 2018 but are 11/4 (3.75) outsiders to even win this match, and 40/1 (41.0) to qualify for the final.

A draw would, of course, be enough for United and that is priced at 3/1 (4.0) with the online bookmaker.

Roma vs Manchester United Team News

Jordan Veretout, Leonardo Spinazzola and Pau Lopez all suffered injuries in the first leg and are set to miss out here, whilst Riccardo Calafiori and Stephan El Shaarawy are both doubts and Pedro remains injured.

Phil Jones and Anthony Martial are unlikely to play again this season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer otherwise having a complete squad to choose from.

Roma vs Manchester United Preview

Whilst the scoreline of the first leg was certainly a surprise, the result was not as it made it six wins in seven games in all competitions for United.

They did not extend that run at the weekend after fan protests caused their Premier League game against Liverpool to be postponed, but that unexpected rest will surely only make the Red Devils more refreshed for this trip against a struggling Roma.

Indeed, the Serie A side fell to a 2-0 defeat at Sampdoria on Sunday to mark a third defeat in a row in all competitions, as well as a fourth in five, as the capital club continue their limp towards to the end of the season.

Roma vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

Manchester United do not need victory to book their place in the Europa League final but the odds of 17/20 (1.85) on an away win look far too good to pass up as Solskjaer’s men look to continue their strong form.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams boasting potent attacks and weak defences recently, Goal is backing plenty of action at the King Power Stadium on Friday evening

Third-placed Leicester City will be determined to bounce back from a bitterly disappointing draw last weekend when they welcome Newcastle United to the King Power Stadium in the Premier League on Friday night.

Despite playing against 10 men for 80 minutes, the Foxes could only draw 1-1 with Southampton and are now five points clear of West Ham in fifth after the Hammers won 2-1 at Burnley.

Leicester City vs Newcastle United Latest Odds

Following those dropped points, bet365 make Leicester just 2/5 (1.40) favourites to get back on track with a win and close in on confirming their place in next season’s Champions League.

Victory for Newcastle would almost certainly be enough for them to avoid relegation but they are out at 7/1 (8.0) to take three points on this ground for the third time in four visits.

None of the last 11 Premier League meetings between these teams has ended in a draw and that result is 15/4 (4.75).

Leicester City vs Newcastle United Team News

James Justin and Harvey Barnes are both out until next season and Wes Morgan is also unlikely to feature again this term, whilst Jonny Evans faces a late fitness test but should be fit to start.

Injured quartet Jamaal Lascelles, Ryan Fraser, Karl Darlow and Isaac Hayden will all definitely miss out and so will the suspended Fabian Schar, but Joe Willock returns after being ineligible to face Arsenal last week.

Leicester City vs Newcastle United Preview

Although they remain five points clear of fifth, some alarm bells may be ringing in the back of Leicester’s mind after a dire performance meant they had to come from behind to get anything at 10-man Southampton last week.

That failure to keep a clean sheet marked the 10th time in 11 Premier League games that the Foxes have conceded and that run looks set to continue with Newcastle having scored nine in their last seven.

However, the Magpies have a similarly bad defensive record as their opponents on Friday, having conceded in 12 of their last 13, and are unlikely to be able to stop a fairly rampant home side who have netted 22 times in their most recent 11 league outings.

Leicester City vs Newcastle United Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is offered at 19/20 (1.95) by bet365 and provides excellent odds-on value for this fixture, especially with Willock back for Newcastle and looking to strike for the fourth game in a row.
