Tottenham earned a predictable victory over Wimbledon in the FA Cup last time out. Harry Kane scored a double as they earned a 3-0 win, extending their run of games without a loss to five. The Lilywhites have dropped too many points this season and they are currently three points off the fourth position in the Premier League table. With ...

This is one of the grandest ways for the Bundesliga to resume from its winter break.

  Friday and Monday games do not command so much excitement from La Liga fans and this game is set to be another one of those matches however, it is a major fixture for the teams involved especially Malaga who are looking to avoid the drop this season.

  This is arguably the biggest game in this round of the Copa del Rey as Celta Vigo are one the upset specialists when it comes to Cup competitions.

  This first leg score line of this encounter makes it an interesting one. Villarreal head into this game as favourites thanks to home advantage but their 1-0 loss in the first leg shows that Leganes should not be written off easily.

Chelsea were disappointed by their failure to see off Norwich in the Carabao Cup over the weekend as that draw means another match will be added to an already tight fixture schedule for Antonio Conte’s men.

  This game is potentially the last game for one of the managers of these sides as both teams have been struggling this season.

  Celta Vigo gave a good account of themselves when they welcomed Barcelona to their home on Thursday.

  Sevilla have been the most successful of these rivals in recent times but this contest remains one of the most interesting derbies in Spanish football.

Berizzo left them inside the top five and through to the next round of ...
