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

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.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>In confident spirits and boasting a strong record at Goodison Park, Al Hain-Cole expects Guardiola's men to secure a simple win over the Toffees

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.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Blues have carved out an almost impregnable defence under Tuchel and our tipster doesn't expect the Blades to breach it in the FA Cup on Sunday

Chelsea’s journey for domestic silverware continues on Sunday afternoon when they welcome Premier League strugglers Sheffield United to Stamford Bridge for an FA Cup quarter-final clash.

The Blues were runners-up in last season’s FA Cup, losing 2-1 against Arsenal at Wembley, and this competition provides Thomas Tuchel with a good opportunity to win his first trophy as manager of the London side.

Chelsea vs Sheffield United Latest Odds

The hosts romped to a 4-1 victory when these sides met on this ground back in November and bet365 make Chelsea just 2/9 (1.22) to put their name into the hat for the semi-final draw.

Sheffield United are yet to face a fellow top-flight side in this season’s FA Cup and are 12/1 (13.0) to bring some joy to an otherwise miserable season for the Blades, who are 14 points from safety in the Premier League.

These teams drew 2-2 when they met at Stamford Bridge in August 2019 and another stalemate, which would lead to extra time and possibly penalties, is available at 21/4 (6.25) .

Chelsea vs Sheffield United Team News

Tammy Abraham and Thiago Silva are both out until after the impending international break, but otherwise Tuchel has a full squad at his disposal.

Interim Blades manager Paul Heckingbottom will be without John Egan, Sander Berge, Jack Robinson, Jack O’Connell, Jack Rodwell and David McGoldrick for this one.

Chelsea vs Sheffield United Preview

The departure of Chris Wilder at the helm appears to have done very little to help Sheffield United, with their 5-0 defeat at Leicester City last weekend making it five times in their last six games that they have failed to score.

That run does not seem too likely to come to an end at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, with Tuchel having overseen an incredible defensive transformation during his tenure at Chelsea.

Following the 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, the Blues have conceded only twice in the German’s 13 matches in charge – albeit scoring only 15 times themselves.

Chelsea vs Sheffield United Tips and Predictions

Chelsea have been professional at the back if unspectacular going forward under Tuchel and backing them to win to nil at 10/11 (1.91) looks rather generous with bet365.

It could also be worth a smaller punt on the Blues to win and under 2.5 match goals at 9/4 (3.25), with that having paid out in eight of their nine wins under the German’s tutelage.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Hammers have proved prolific in front of goal at the London Stadium and so Al Hain-Cole expects plenty of action when Mikel Arteta's men visit

West Ham will be aiming to put themselves level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea when they welcome Arsenal to the London Stadium in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The Hammers’ Champions League dream has taken a slight knock after two defeats in their last three league games has left them three points adrift of the top four, albeit with a game in hand.

West Ham United vs Arsenal Latest Odds

However, they are available at 9/5 (2.80) with bet365 to close the gap with an impressive win against their London rivals.

Mikel Arteta’s men have won six of the last seven meetings between this duo and are priced at 29/20 (2.45) to come out on top once again here.

Just one of the hosts’ last 13 league fixtures has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them being held to a stalemate in this one.

West Ham United vs Arsenal Team News

Pablo Fornals and Ryan Fredericks should both be back in contention following injury, although Darren Randolph, Angelo Ogbonna, Arthur Masuaku and Andriy Yarmolenko remain sidelined.

Bukayo Saka will face a late fitness test after leaving the field in last weekend’s north London derby due to a hamstring strain.

West Ham United vs Arsenal Preview

Perhaps one of the most striking aspects of the hosts impressive season has been their turnaround at the much-maligned London Stadium.

While just three teams took fewer home points than David Moyes’ side last campaign, only runaway leaders Manchester City have collected more so for this time out.

This confident home record is illustrated by the fact they have not failed to score in their own backyard since the opening day of the season, getting on target in each of the 16 successive games.

However, they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 league home matches and take on a Gunners side in confident spirits in front of goal – hitting the net in seven out of the most recent nine.

West Ham United vs Arsenal Tips and Predictions

Considering Arsenal have also gone 11 games without a clean sheet, odds of 3/4 (1.75) offer solid value on both teams getting on target for their eighth game in 10 and a fifth meeting in seven with West Ham.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Red Devils looking almost watertight at the back and not taking many risks in attack, Al Hain-Cole expects a tight FA Cup tie on Sunday

The blockbuster tie of the FA Cup quarter-finals takes place at the King Power Stadium on Sunday where Leicester City take on Manchester United.

Only a single point separates this pair in the Premier League, with the Red Devils sitting one point ahead in second place.

Leicester City vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Having completed a 2-1 aggregate Europa League victory over AC Milan in midweek to extend their unbeaten run to 14 fixtures, United are available at 11/8 (2.38) with bet365 to pull off another big win here.

Brendan Rodgers’ men have lost three of their last six matches on home turf but can be backed at 19/10 (2.90) to come out on top in this one.

The sides shared a 2-2 draw when they met at this ground in December’s league meeting, and there are odds of 5/2 (3.50) available on them taking this one into extra-time after another stalemate.

Leicester City vs Manchester United Team News

Ricardo Pereira, Sidnei Tavares, Dennis Praet and James Maddison will all face late fitness tests for Leicester, although Wes Morgan, James Justin, Harvey Barnes, and Cengiz Under are definitely ruled out.

Marcus Rashford will be assessed after coming off at half-time against AC Milan with a twinge, while Juan Mata and Anthony Martial are also doubtful.

Leicester City vs Manchester United Preview

Having twice let a lead slip to eventually draw 2-2 here in December’s league visit to this stadium, it is hard to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team leaving themselves anywhere near as open against the Foxes on Sunday..

Indeed, they have conceded just three goals in their last 11 matches in all competitions and kept seven clean sheets in 10 on the road – including each of the last five in a row.

However, with only five goals to their name in seven matches, the guests also don’t seem particularly likely to really go for the jugular themselves in what is likely to be a closely-fought quarter-final.

Leicester City vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

In fact, odds of 6/5 (2.20) seem pretty generous on United ensuring under 2.5 goals for their eighth match in a row and a fourth meeting in five with Leicester.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts generally record comfortable, low-scoring, wins on their own turf and our tipster is expecting another professional victory in this one

Italy will be aiming to make a strong start to their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign when they welcome Northern Ireland to Stadio Ennio Tardini on Thursday.

The Azzurri failed to reach the 2018 edition of the tournament after losing a play-off against Sweden, the only time they have missed out since 1958.

Italy vs Northern Ireland Latest Odds

The hosts won five of their eight fixtures in 2020 and they are 1/6 (1.16) favourites with bet365 to start with a win in Group C.

Northern Ireland took 19 points from the 10 matches they played in 2018 World Cup qualifying but are 14/1 (15.0) to become the first visiting team to ever win a World Cup qualifier in Italy.

A draw would certainly be welcomed by the visitors and that is priced at 6/1 (7.0) with the online bookmaker.

Italy vs Northern Ireland Team News

Bryan Cristante and Moise Kean have withdrawn from the Italy squad through injury, whilst Alessandro Bastoni, Stefano Sensi and Nicolo Barella are all unlikely to feature in this one.

Northern Ireland, meanwhile, will be without the injured Conor Washington but otherwise Ian Baraclough has a fully-fit squad.

Italy vs Northern Ireland Preview

Italy have gone from strength-to-strength since a disastrous 2018, recording 10 wins from 10 in Euro 2020 qualifying and topping Group A1 in the Nations League.

Since the start of 2019, Roberto Mancini’s side have scored 44 times in 16 competitive games whilst conceding only six goals, and another routine win should be on the cards in Parma.

Whilst Northern Ireland were somewhat unlucky not to reach this summer’s European Championships, they finished bottom of their Nations League group last year and conceded 24 times in those combined 14 games.

The only competitive wins that the Green and White Army have recorded over the last three years were against Estonia and Belarus, and it seems unlikely they will prove too much of a challenge for Italy.

Italy vs Northern Ireland Tips and Predictions

Italy typically produce professional if unspectacular performances and backing under 2.5 goals on the Asian Goal Line at 2.030 with bet365 is the best bet for this World Cup qualifier.

The bet will pay out in full if there are two or fewer goals, as there have been in each of the hosts’ last six competitive games.

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

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Steve Clarke's men usually keep things tight at home and our tipster is backing a tense affair in this World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park on Thursday

Scotland open their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign on Thursday night when they welcome Austria to Hampden Park.

Steve Clarke’s men ended a 10-tournament drought when they confirmed their place at Euro 2020 last November, and are now looking to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1998.

Scotland vs Austria Latest Odds

Although they have won three of their last four competitive home matches inside 90 minutes, bet365 make Scotland 11/5 (3.20) outsiders to extend that streak with another victory here.

Austria had a 100 per cent away record during their last Nations League campaign, topping League B1 in the process, and are 6/5 (2.20) favourites to win this one as well.

The hosts drew both of their Euro 2020 play-off matches, eventually winning on penalties each time to reach this summer’s tournament, and another tie is available at 12/5 (3.40).

Scotland vs Austria Team News

Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack has withdrawn from Clarke’s squad, whilst Che Adams could be handed his maiden Scotland cap.

Austria captain Julian Baumgartlinger is injured and former West Ham star Marko Arnautovic has not been selected, which could allow 17-year-old Yusuf Demir to make his international debut.

Scotland vs Austria Preview

Scotland had one of their greatest days in the last 25 years in November when they beat Slovakia to qualify for Euro 2020, and despite losing their two games since, they should find things easier at home.

Only Russia and Belgium have managed to come away with a competitive win since September 2015, with Clarke’s men winning five of their last six – keeping four clean sheets along the way.

Austria are also extremely adept at keeping things tight, having conceded just twice in their last six competitive away games but they also scored only five times across those fixtures.

Scotland vs Austria Tips and Predictions

With both teams strong at the back but not overly proficient in the final third, the best tip for this game comes in the form of under 2.0, 2.5 goals on the Asian goal line at 1.840 with bet365.

This bet will pay out in full if there are fewer than two strikes, whilst half of the stake will win and the other half returned if there are exactly two.
