class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>After suffering a major defensive blip against West Brom last time out, Al Hain-Cole expects Tuchel's men to return to solid form against the Eagles

Chelsea will be determined to bounce back from defeat when they travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

Thomas Tuchel’s men were surprisingly beaten 5-2 at home to West Bromwich Albion in their last league game, their first defeat in 15 matches since he replaced Frank Lampard in the dugout.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Latest Odds

However, having pulled off an impressive 2-0 away win over Porto in Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final, they are clear 11/20 (1.55) favourites with bet365 to get their league campaign back on track with a victory here.

The Eagles have only lost one of their last six matches but are 6/1 (7.00) outsiders to pull off a first win over this opposition since 2017.

Three of the hosts’ last five fixtures have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them earning a creditable point in this one.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Team News

Nathaniel Clyne, Nathan Ferguson, James Tomkins, James McArthur, and James McCarthy are all doubts, while Wayne Hennessey and Mamadou Sakho are injured and Michy Batshuayi ineligible to face his parent club.

Thiago Silva is ruled out due to suspension after last weekend’s red card against West Brom, although N’Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic are both available once again after being passed fit for a place on the bench against Porto.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Preview

Having conceded just two goals in the 14 previous matches under their new manager, the Blues’ 5-2 demolition at home to relegation strugglers West Brom came as a major shock.

However, having quickly returned to form with a controlled performance and eighth clean sheet in nine against Porto, they will back themselves to hold firm at the back once again on Saturday.

With just five goals to their name in eight matches and having only scored once in their last four on home turf, Roy Hodgson’s team certainly seems like the ideal opposition for defence looking to restore confidence.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

In fact, odds of 11/8 (2.38) seem particularly generous on Chelsea winning to nil for their sixth match in eight and a fourth meeting in five with Palace.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The second La Liga Clasico of the season could have a huge impact on the title and we are backing another goal-filled encounter in the Spanish capital

Real Madrid welcome Barcelona to the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Saturday evening for what could be a season defining Clasico in La Liga.

Both teams have cut the gap on leaders Atletico, with the Catalans just a point behind Diego Simeone’s men while Los Blancos are three points off top spot and so victory on Saturday for either team would see them end the day at the top of the table.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Latest Odds

Zinedine Zidane’s side come into the game following one of their best performances of the season in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, easing past Liverpool 3-1.

Barca, meanwhile, struggled on Monday night to overcome relegation threatened Valladolid in La Liga, needing a 90th minute Ousmane Dembele strike to claim a 1-0 win.

Madrid are priced at 19/10 (2.90) with bet365 with Barca offered at 6/5 (2.20) and the draw at 14/5 (3.80).

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Team News

The current Spanish champions will be without both first-choice centre-backs with Sergio Ramos and Rafael Varane both missing whilst right-back Dani Carvajal is also likely to be still be sidelined, although Eden Hazard could be available.

Barca remain without Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati, Sergio Roberto and Philippe Coutinho

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Preview

The most recent meeting between these two fiercest of rivals came back in October when Real recorded a memorable 3-1 win at Camp Nou, making it three consecutive league Clasicos without a win for Barcelona – their longest barren streak in this fixture since 2013.

This match generally promises entertainment and Saturday’s fixture should live up to expectations, with Madrid scoring in 24 of their last 25 games and Barca netting 27 of their previous 28.

Furthermore, neither side have been keeping clean sheets with any real regularity, with the Catalans conceding in 11 of their last 16 competitive fixtures and Los Blancos managing just one shutout in their last seven games.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score has paid out in 15 of the last 20 league Clasicos and is available at 1/2 (1.50), but combining this selection with over 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to a much more healthy 4/5 (1.80).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Lionel Messi is the favourite to find the back of the net in this historic La Liga clash but our tipster has found better value in the hosts' forward

La Liga’s top scoring side Barcelona visit the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Saturday evening to face the division’s second-most prolific outfit Real Madrid in the second Clasico of the season.

Lionel Messi is leading the scoring charts in the Spanish top-flight with 24 strikes, yet Los Blancos’ Karim Benzema is in superb form and has netted in each of his last six league encounters.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Latest Goalscorer Odds

It is not a surprise to find that the two top scorers from each respective side are the shortest priced players to score on Saturday.

Messi is offered at 8/11 (1.73) with bet365 to score at anytime and the Argentine is the most prolific player in the history of this fixture, netting 26 times in 44 games against Real Madrid, although he has failed to score in each of the last six Clasicos.

Benzema, meanwhile, is priced at 6/5 (2.20) to net, although the Frenchman only has nine Clasico goals to his name with his last La Liga strike against the Catalans coming back in April 2016.

Elsewhere, Marco Asensio is enjoying the best scoring run of his career with goals in each of his last four matches in all competitions, including on Tuesday night in the Champions League against Liverpool.

The attacker can be backed at 9/4 (3.25) to find the back of the net while Vinicius Junior notched a brace against Jurgen Klopp’s men and can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) score first as he did in this fixture last season.

Barca had Ousmane Dembele to thank on Monday evening as the Frenchman scored a 90th minute winner at Camp Nou against Valladolid and the former Borussia Dortmund forward is priced at 7/4 (2.75) to score. 

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Goalscorer Tips and Predictions

Backing Benzema to score at any time looks like an interesting option especially given the absence of Sergio Ramos.

The Real Madrid captain is usually on penalty and free-kick duty but with him missing, Benzema will have even more chances to extend his scoring run to seven consecutive league matches.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Hammers host the Foxes in a crucial Premier League fixture and our tipster is backing plenty of action at the London Stadium this weekend

A pivotal Premier League clash takes place on Sunday afternoon when Leicester City travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham.

The Foxes enter the weekend in third with the Hammers one place and four points below, but defeat for the hosts could see them drop to as low as seventh if other results do not go their way.

West Ham vs Leicester City Latest Odds

Only leaders Manchester City have won more Premier League games than Leicester this season and bet365 make the visitors 7/5 (2.40) to pick up their 18th victory of the term.

West Ham have been the surprise package of the 2020-21 campaign and are available at 2/1 (3.0) to close the gap on the Foxes to just a single point.

A draw would keep the race for the top four firmly wide open and that is priced at 23/10 (3.30).

West Ham vs Leicester City Team News

Angelo Ogbonna is still at least a week away from making his West Ham return, meaning he is ruled out of this one along with Declan Rice, Michail Antonio, Darren Randolph and Andriy Yarmolenko.

Caglar Soyuncu and Cengiz Under could both feature but this game comes too soon for Harvey Barnes, whilst James Justin and Wes Morgan are both long-term absentees.

West Ham vs Leicester City Preview

Leicester are only a few weeks away from banishing the bad memories of missing out on a Champions League spot last season, and victory in London would certainly go a long way to achieving that goal.

Away matches have actually been more fruitful than home fixtures for the Foxes this season and at the very least they should be amongst the goals, having scored more than once in nine of their 15 Premier League games on their travels.

Indeed, West Ham have struggled at the back in recent weeks, conceding 16 goals in their last 12 and keeping only three clean sheets in that time – albeit scoring 24 times during that span.

West Ham vs Leicester City Tips and Predictions

Over 2.5 goals pays out at a very attractive 10/11 (1.91) with bet365, having landed in five of each team’s respective last seven Premier League matches.

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

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having found the net in his previous two appearances against Mourinho's men, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Portuguese playmaker to get on target again

Having helped themselves to six goals in the reverse encounter at Old Trafford, Tottenham will be hoping for another fruitful 90 minutes when Manchester United come to visit in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

On target twice in that 6-1 win and currently leading the league’s scoring charts with 19 goals, Harry Kane is an understandable 3/1 (4.00) favourite with bet365 to break the deadlock in north London.

Considering the England captain has 10 goals to his name in the last 10 matches for club and country, anytime odds of 5/6 (1.83) also look well worth considering here.

Son Heung-min also struck twice in the reverse encounter as he enjoyed a blistering start to the season that produced 11 goals in his first 13 league matches.

However, having scored just once in his last 15 league appearances, he probably holds less appeal at 11/8 (2.38) anytime.

Gareth Bale has only been given 58 minutes on the pitch in the three league matches since striking four times in three games but is a 12/5 (3.40) shot to offer a timely reminder of his capabilities with a high profile goal here.

Bruno Fernandes actually made it 1-0 to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team after less than two minutes in that 6-1 defeat, his second goal in two appearances against Spurs.

Having found the net in five of his last nine league games, the Portugal international looks a strong bet to open the scoring once again at 11/2 (6.50) – not to mention 7/4 (2.75) to strike anytime.

The talismanic attacker is not the Red Devils’ only in-form attacker though, with Marcus Rashford also looking promising at that same 7/4 (2.75) price considering he has been on the scoresheet in his last two matches in a row.

With Anthony Martial injured, Mason Greenwood seems to have earned himself a place in the starting line-up thanks to goals in two of his last three appearances and is another decent prospect at 7/4 (2.75) anytime.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Gunners are on a poor defensive run and despite their opponents being the Premier League's basement club, our tipster is backing the Blades to net

Arsenal travel to Bramall Lane to face the Premier League’s bottom club Sheffield United on Sunday with Mikel Arteta’s men looking to get back to winning ways.

Thursday night’s 1-1 home draw against Slavia Prague in the Europa League made it four games without a victory, and the Gunners will also have one eye on the return leg of that quarter-final coming up next week.

This fixture certainly provides a strong opportunity for the visitors as the Blades are all but mathematically down, although they have shown plenty of spirit in recent weeks despite their lowly points tally.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal Latest Odds

Chris Wilder’s side have won three of their last seven home Premier League encounters and bet365 price them at 11/2 (6.50) to record another success.

The Gunners have won four of their last eight away games in the English top-flight and are available 4/7 (1.57) with the draw at 11/4 (3.75).

Sheffield United vs Arsenal Team News

United remain without a number of players as Sander Berge, Billy Sharp, Chris Basham, Jack Robinson and Jack O´Connell are all ruled out, while George Baldock and Jayden Bogle are doubts.

Martin Odegaard picked up an injury on Thursday night and will miss this one, whilst Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe both started that game on the bench but could come back into the starting eleven.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal Preview

The visitors head to South Yorkshire following an extremely disappointing Europa League result, which saw them concede in injury time against Slavia Prague.

That 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium was the 14th consecutive game in which Arsenal have conceded in all competitions, and the run has seen goalkeeper Bernd Leno struggle while the back-four have also looked vulnerable.

Sheffield United will therefore certainly fancy their chances of scoring, with the Blades netting in seven of their last 10 home league games including against the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal Predictions

Both teams to score is offered at evens (2.00) while the price of 8/11 (1.73) for Sheffield United to score a goal looks like offering serious value given Arsenal’s defensive deficiencies.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Chastened by the 6-1 defeat in the reverse encounter, Al Hain-Cole expects Solskjaer to ensure goals are thin on the ground against Spurs

Manchester United will be out for revenge when they travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The Red Devils were thrashed 6-1 in the reverse encounter at Old Trafford back in October, their joint-heaviest defeat in Premier League history.

Tottenham vs Manchester United Latest Odds

However, they are unbeaten in 22 league matches on the road and 29/20 (2.45) favourites with bet365 to get their own back by coming out on top in north London.

Jose Mourinho’s team missed their opportunity to go fourth in the table after conceding a late equaliser in last weekend’s disappointing draw at Newcastle but can be backed at 19/10 (2.90) to get back on track with a morale-boosting win here.

Four of the guests’ last five away matches in the league have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 12/5 (3.40) available on them settling for a single point once again in this one.

Tottenham vs Manchester United Team News

Matt Doherty and Ben Davies are both unlikely to feature for the home side as they struggle with injury.

Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata are available once again following injury, although Anthony Martial and Phil Jones are injured with Eric Bailly unavailable after testing positive for COVID-19.

Tottenham vs Manchester United Preview

While he will have done his best to put the 6-1 defeat behind him, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has certainly not forgotten that result.

Indeed, that match seems to have helped to shape his approach to subsequent high profile matches, when he has preferred to keep things tight and shut the opposition down.

This approach is not particularly entertaining for the neutrals, producing a total of just three goals in seven league matches against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Considering Mourinho’s own preference for counter-attacking football and desire to avoid defeat against his former club, it is hard to see Spurs opening themselves up too much either.

Tottenham vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

With this in mind, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem fairly generous on under 2.5 goals being scored for United’s eighth league game in nine on the road, as well as a fourth trip in a row to Tottenham.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both sides boast strong defensive records in the Champions League this season and we think another tight game is in prospect in Seville this week

Chelsea face Porto in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday evening with Thomas Tuchel’s men boasting a 2-0 aggregate lead.

Although they did not produce an entirely dominant performance, the Blues were clinical in their first game against the Portuguese champions and two away goals put them in a highly advantageous position.

Chelsea vs Porto Latest Odds

Like the first leg last week, the game is being played in Sevilla’s Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan with Chelsea being designated as the home side on Tuesday evening.

The west Londoners are clear favourites offered at 4/5 (1.80) with bet365, whilst Sergio Conceicao’s men can be backed at 16/5 (4.20) and the draw at 14/5 (3.80).

Chelsea vs Porto Team News

Andreas Christensen picked up a hamstring injury ahead of the weekend 4-1 Premier League win over Crystal Palace and is likely to be the only player unavailable for the Blues.

The team from the north of Portugal remain without defender Ivan Marcado, while midfielder Mehdi Taremi returns after missing the first leg through suspension.

Chelsea vs Porto Preview

Chelsea are unbeaten in this season’s Champions League, recording seven wins and two draws in their nine games so far, and Tuesday night could see them extend that run.

The Blues have been defensively exceptional in the tournament with seven clean sheets, and a healthy aggregate lead already means there is little need for Tuchel’s men to be anything more than organised and pragmatic.

Each of their last four European games have seen fewer than three goals and with given the hard work they did in the first leg, there should be plenty of interest in opposing a high-scoring encounter.

Porto, for their part, have also kept five clean sheets in their last eight Champions League clashes and should also be able to contribute to a tight game as they will look to avoid conceding and making their task even more difficult.

Chelsea vs Porto Tips and Predictions

Under three goals in the match is priced at 9/10 (1.90), while both teams to score ‘no’ could also be of interest at 19/20 (1.95).

Chelsea can also be backed at a healthy 6/4 (2.50) to keep a clean sheet.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>After a five-goal thriller in the first leg, Al Hain-Cole expects plenty more goalmouth action when the holders take on Pochettino's men in France

Paris Saint-Germain will be desperate to avoid another Champions League collapse when they welcome Bayern Munich to Parc des Princes for Tuesday’s quarter-final second leg.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are in a strong position after running out 3-2 winners in Germany, although have been knocked out following impressive first-leg performances against Manchester United and, most memorably, Barcelona in previous knockout stage campaigns.

PSG vs Bayern Munich Latest Odds

Nevertheless, they are available at 19/10 (2.90) with bet365 to complete the job by coming out on top once again over the current holders.

Last week’s result put an end to Bayern’s run of 18 wins and no defeats in 19 Champions League matches and they are 23/20 (2.15) favourites to bounce straight back with a victory here.

None of the six previous encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 3/1 (4.00) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

PSG vs Bayern Munich Team News

Keylor Navas, Layvin Kurzawa and Mauro Icardi are all doubtful while Marquinhos and Juan Bernat are both ruled out, although Marco Verratti and Alessandro Florenzi have both been cleared to play after missing out last time due to COVID-19.

Bayern are still without Robert Lewandowski, Serge Gnabry and Niklas Sule, with Lucas Hernandez, Leon Goretzka and Jerome Boateng all doubts.

PSG vs Bayern Munich Preview

While a 3-2 away win in the first leg would normally leave a team extremely confident of progression, Les Parisiens have more reasons than most to be wary.

This is a side that let a 2-0 first-leg away win slip to lose 3-1 at home to a hardly imperious Manchester United team two seasons ago, and that’s without mentioning the infamous 6-1 defeat in Barcelona following a 4-0 first-leg victory.

What’s more, Hansi Flick’s team was actually extremely dominant in last week’s game, having over 30 shots on goal in an impressive attacking display that regularly missed only the finishing touch.

With the Germans set to play high up the pitch in search of goals against a team that has lost its last three successive Ligue 1 home matches, we are likely to see a lot more opportunity for the devastating counter-attacks of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

PSG vs Bayern Munich Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 10/11 (1.91) are surely not to be missed in on another entertaining encounter producing over 3.5 goals for PSG’s fifth Champions League game in six and a fifth in eight for Bayern.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Flick's men required to push forward in search of goals, Al Hain-Cole expects the in-form France international to run riot on the break

After a devastating counter-attacking display saw them win 3-2 in the away leg, Paris Saint-Germain’s attackers will be looking forward to taking on Bayern Munich once again in Tuesday’s big Champions League clash.

Kylian Mbappe made the most of the space left in behind by the Germans to take his tally to eight goals in just the last four matches in this competition.

Click Here: rapid prototype service

With Hansi Flick’s men required to push forward once again in an attempt to turn the tie around, bet365’s 4/1 (5.00) odds seem fairly generous on the France star opening the scoring once again here.

Indeed, anytime odds of  5/6 (1.83) are surely too good to pass up on a player that has scored 15 times in just his last 11 appearances in all competitions – particularly given that the guests have kept just one clean sheet in eight Champions League games.

Neymar was used in more of a playmaker role at the Allianz Arena and certainly looks a less appealing anytime bet at 11/10 (2.10) considering he hasn’t found the net from open play since mid-January.

In fact, Moise Kean could be a better value punt at 5/4 (2.25) anytime after getting on target in five of his last 10 appearances for Les Parisiens.

At the other end of the pitch, Die Roten will once again attempt to cope without the goal machine that is Robert Lewandowski, who misses out due to injury.

Having grabbed one of the two goals the champions mustered in a wasteful display that saw them have over 30 shots, Thomas Muller looks their best bet to break the deadlock at 11/2 (6.50) or 5/4 (2.25) to score anytime.

The much-maligned Eric Choupo-Mouting did manage his third goal in six Champions League appearances for Bayern in the first leg and can be backed at 11/8 (2.38) to come back to haunt his former club in the French capital.

Often criticised for his inconsistent form in front of goal, Leroy Sane is on offer at 5/4 (2.25) to deliver on the big stage with a fourth goal in this season’s competition.
