Aston Villa are one of several Premier League teams who have almost looked more comfortable on the road this season and they get the nod to prevail at Sheffield United. The Blades have badly missed having the backing of their supporters at Bramall Lane, suffering 10 home defeats.
Canelo Alvarez gets his wish to stay active when facing Avni Yildirim in Miami and should enjoy a routine defence of his WBA and WBC super-middleweight belts. The Mexican great is one of the top pound-for-pound performers in boxing and arguably the biggest box office draw on the planet.
Tottenham have enjoyed a couple of welcome Europa League wins of late and can now get their Premier League campaign back on track when hosting Burnley. The Clarets are on a four-match unbeaten run in this competition which has eased them away from the drop zone, but that was during a kind schedule.
Arsenal were the better team in last week’s 1-1 Europa League draw with Benfica in Rome and are taken to come out on top in the second leg in Greece. Coronavirus issues have created the need for neutral venues, but the Gunners have performed well on the road in this competition in recent years.
Tottenham may see winning the Europa League as their best chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League following a dip in their domestic form. Spurs already look assured of a place in the last 16 after beating Wolfsberger 4-1 in Budapest in the opening leg of this tie, even with Harry Kane rested.
Liverpool will be looking to give their top-four prospects a much-needed boost when visiting Premier League basement dwellers Sheffield United. However, the Blades have netted in six straight home games in all competitions and should be fired up for facing the Reds’ injury-ravaged defence.
West Ham are fancied to press their claims for a surprise top-six finish in the Premier League by seeing off basement dwellers Sheffield United. The Blades are doing their best to pull off a great escape but will come up against a team playing with plenty of confidence and self-belief at present.
Manchester United had to work harder than they will have wished for in Tuesday’s FA Cup win over West Ham but should still be able to deal with West Brom. Albion have only picked up one point from their last five Premier League fixtures and that was when drawing with fellow strugglers Fulham.
European teams have won the last seven renewals of the FIFA Club World Cup and Bayern Munich are expected to extend that sequence when facing Tigres. Their Mexican opponents upset the odds when knocking out Palmeiras of Brazil in the semis in Qatar but look out of their depth in the decider.
Burnley seem ready to have a real crack at FA Cup glory this season and are fancied to get the better of Bournemouth at Turf Moor. The Clarets were convincing 3-0 victors at Fulham in round four and have performed with credit in the Premier League since that tie.
Swansea gave Manchester City a scare in the FA Cup two years ago and will hope to have their moments in this season’s fifth-round tie at Liberty Stadium. The Swans led 2-0 with just over 20 minutes left on the clock on that occasion, before a late turnaround saw them slip to a heart-breaking 3-2 defeat.
Tottenham are in desperate need of a boost after three straight Premier League defeats but should enjoy a welcome reprieve when hosting West Brom. The second-from-bottom Baggies have only picked up one point from four outings themselves and look headed for a quick return to the Championship.
West Ham have built up a ton of momentum by winning seven of their last eight Premier League and FA Cup matches and are fancied to oblige again at Fulham. The Cottagers have been battling hard to enhance their survival hopes but looked short on quality when beaten at home by Leicester on Wednesday.
The sport of kings has thrown up any number of memorable events, but we’ve picked out our top 10 great horse racing moments from the past 50 years. Iconic thoroughbreds, legendary trainers and great jockeys feature in the list of races which had both punters and purists purring with delight.
