    Milan vs Manchester United
    Milan managed to secure a positive result from the first leg thanks to Simon Kjaer’s stoppage-time equalizer. The hosts don’t have the pressure of chasing the result, but it doesn’t mean it is going to be easy for them. Stefano Pioli’s side heads to this game after losing a derby match against Napoli last weekend. That defeat affected their title bid severely, and they are now nine points behind Inter. Considering their recent form, Milan is far from challenging Scudetto, and they should focus on remaining in the top four. Napoli is now only six points behind and with one game in hand. Rossoneri failed to celebrate at Stadio San Siro on the previous four occasions, and they desperately need a win at the home ground. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the lads had many troubles eliminating Red Star Belgrade in the last round, despite having an extra player in both legs. Milan needs to put a very disciplined performance to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
    Manchester United extended its unbeatable streak after beating West Ham United last weekend. The away side remained second in the Premier League table but still very far from the title battle. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side has been involved in many draw matches during this streak and spilled important points. However, David de Gea conceded only once in the previous six games, and the Red Devils are very hard to crack. The fact that Manchester United still hasn’t lost on the road this season encourages the away side’s fans. If they can put a similar performance to that one against Manchester City, the visitors will progress to the next round.
    Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
    This game can go either way, but we still think Manchester United is closer to the victory. The Red Devils are in a much better momentum, and they should stay in the competition.
    Goals Market Prediction
    Both sides have been involved in many low-scoring games lately. It is going to be a tight clash in which we don’t expect to see more than two goals in total.

    Cardiff vs Millwall
    The Championship is back this weekend and I'm looking forward to see how Cardiff do in their first home game under Mick McCarthy against McCarthy's former club Millwall at the Cardiff City Stadium in a 3pm GMT kick-off on Saturday afternoon. Both of these two sides are battling at the wrong end of the table so a win is much-needed here but does either team have what it takes to get all 3 points?
    Cardiff did well to come back from 2-0 down away to Barnsley in midweek to draw 2-2. It was a point that I predicted we would get and in the end we might have been unfortunate to not take all 3 points. McCarthy has got a team littered with injuries and players lacking confidence so the point and the manner in how it came about could not have been better timed. The Bluebirds are still down in 15th place and it's 6 league games without a win but that draw stopped the rot of 5 straight league defeats. It was also great to see us battle back and show the fight needed to come back from behind. It's a sense of spirit and determination we've not seen at all this season.
    Millwall come into this game in a similar situation to their hosts. Gary Rowett hasn't quite progressed in the way he would have hoped this season. The Lions are in 16th place but have been restricted by the 12 league games they have drawn this season. If even half of those draws had been converted into victories then Rowett's side would be in the play-off places. Just 1 win from their last 6 league matches has their current form in a poor way but when you extend that and see they've only won 2 of their last 17 league games then you can understand why the fans are becoming concerned.
    I'm quietly optimistic about this one. The legend goes that McCarthy hardly ever loses home matches as a manager. That's obviously not a flawless record and without the fans at games it doesn't quite have the impact home advantage usually does. One factor stands out here that makes me cautious. The draw factor. Each of the last 6 meetings between these two have ended in a draw with 3 of the last 4 encounters ending 1-1. Add this to Millwall's reputation as draw specialists this season and with both teams out-of-form then all signs point towards another draw. The Cardiff fan in me still believes we might actually sneak this one though.

    Everton vs Sheffield Wednesday
    The final game being played in the FA Cup 4th Round on Sunday is an 8pm GMT kick-off where Premier League club Everton take on Championship side Sheffield Wednesday at Goodison Park. In terms of where they are right now, these teams are miles apart both positionally and in relation to club stability. Will the home team add more despair to the travelling side here?
    Everton continue to enjoy a positive season under Carlo Ancelotti with the team in 6th place in the top flight of English football. The Toffees have won 6 of their last 8 matches in all competitions. The team is boosted by the return of top scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin from injury for this game. This is a chance for the Merseysiders to reach the FA Cup 5th Round for the first time since the 2015/16 season. However, they have progressed from 11 of their last 12 matches against teams in lower divisions in this competition. Ancelotti will be hoping his defence can tighten up again having only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 competitive games.
    Sheffield Wednesday come into this game in decent form. The Owls have gone undefeated in their last 5 matches across all competitions with caretaker manager Neil Thompson at the helm for the past few games. The club remains down in 23rd place in the second tier of English football and 6 points adrift of safety due to their points deduction. Unfortunately, history isn't on Wednesday's side with the club losing 16 of their previous 17 FA Cup matches against Premier League opposition. If their fans want a ray of hope then it's only 1 loss from their last 9 visits to Goodison Park.
    If there was one game this weekend that pits two in-form teams against each other then it's this one. You wouldn't be surprised to see both teams come into this one believing that they can win it. Everton undoubtedly have the edge and I'll be interested to see what sort of squad Ancelotti fields. The Italian won this trophy with Chelsea back in the 2009/10 season so he knows what is required to win it. He'll also know it's a fantastic opportunity for his team to win a trophy. I can see them earning a solid win against a valiant Sheffield Wednesday.

    Aston Villa vs Newcastle
    The only Premier League fixture taking place this weekend is the 8pm GMT kick-off on Saturday evening between out-of-form sides Aston Villa and Newcastle which is scheduled to be played at Villa Park. Unfortunately, both of these teams suffered early eliminations from the FA Cup in the 3rd Round and can now make up some ground for the fixtures they had to postpone due to their respective coronavirus outbreaks.
    Aston Villa had started this season so well but now sit down in 11th place after a run of no wins in three attempts in the league. That spell includes two matches postponed due to coronavirus so the club hasn't actually experienced a win in the league since Boxing Day. Dean Smith's men have had to play Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea in those three league games so maybe we shouldn't be too critical. If they were to lose this game then it would be the first time since 2001 that they have lost their first three league games of a calendar year. On the flip side, if they keep a clean sheet here then it'll be the first time since 2012 that they have kept three clean sheets at home in the league in a row.
    Newcastle are in their traditional downturn of form that could well see them dragged into yet another relegation dog fight. Steve Bruce had appeared to be silencing the critics but it's now 8 matches without a win in all competitions. The Magpies are down to 15th in the table and now just 7 points above the relegation zone. Just 1 goal scored in their last 6 competitive matches shows you exactly where the issues are with this Newcastle side. The bad news continues with Newcastle having lost 5 games in a row on the road in all competitions. It's really hard to see how they're going to find their way out of this slump.
    There's not a lot for Newcastle fans to be positive about at the moment but they have only lost 1 of their last 14 meetings with Aston Villa. Sadly, it was in this fixture last season that the single defeat happened. It's also now been three league meetings in the Premier League with Aston Villa that Newcastle have failed to score. You wouldn't bet against it happening again here. I'm expecting a narrow Villa win.

    Fulham vs Manchester United
    The Premier League midweek action throws up some action for the Manchester clubs tonight. @StefanBB and @harry_rag have offered their insights on bets to pick for the Manchester City versus Aston Villa game at 6pm GMT so I'll throw some thoughts together on the 8:15pm GMT kick-off between relegation battlers Fulham and title contenders Manchester United at Craven Cottage.
    Fulham are currently the classic example of how statistics can be manipulated to fit an agenda. On the one hand, Scott Parker's side have lost just 1 of their last 6 league games. On the other hand, they're without a win in their last 7 league matches. The Cottagers are down in 18th and now 4 points adrift of safety. Those 5 draws in a row were valiant but the lack of 3 points gained from a single match in that run has left them falling behind the teams above them. Star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is set to make a return but when the team has seemingly played better without him is that a false hope? The team does need the goals though having bagged just 3 goals in their last 11 hours and 2 minutes of league action. If Fulham fail to score in this game then it'll be the first time since August 1969 that the team has failed to score in four consecutive home league games. The club's record against teams in the top 10 is hardly inspiring either with just 6 points taken from a possible 27 points so far this season against those sides. They have also lost 29 of their last 32 fixtures against the established top six clubs.
    Manchester United fans are buzzing. The club is once again at the right end of the table and even though the Champions League has passed them by this year there is still that feeling that good times are coming back to Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has led his team on a run of 12 league games without defeat guiding the club up to 2nd in the table. The Red Devils are just 1 point behind league leaders Leicester with a game in hand. A win here would move them back to the summit. United also boast the only unbeaten away record in the division having won 7 and drawn 2 of their 9 league games on the road. In fact, it's now over a year since their last away league defeat which was 2-0 against Liverpool on 19th January, 2020. Interestingly, United are slow to start matches having only led at half-time in 4 of their 18 league games thus far.
    On paper you'd think this game is there for Manchester United to walk but we all know that they do tend to struggle when it comes to playing sides that sit back and don't allow them to play their counter-attacking play. Fulham will undoubtedly look to adopt that resilient nature that saw them earn draws against the likes of Tottenham, Southampton, and Liverpool over the festive period. I just think the way United are playing right now it's almost impossible not to back them to win this one with relative ease.

    Manchester City vs Aston Villa
    After a slow start into the campaign, the home side entered their recognizable form and tied eight straight wins in all competitions. City missed the chance to win only three times on the last 15 occasions, and that excellent run launched them to 2nd place. They are two points behind Manchester United, but with one game in hand. Ruben Dias and the lads have been unbeatable in the back, and the hosts managed to keep their net intact four times in a row. Manchester City conceded only three times in the last 15 games, and they are the best defensive team in the league. Besides a good campaign in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola’s side progressed into the next round of the FA Cup, EFL Cup, and the Champions League knockout stage. The hosts will be looking to continue their winning streak and remain an active contender in the title race.
    The schedule in the past few weeks has been very tough for the visitors as they faced some of the biggest Premier League clubs. The Villans picked up a point away to Chelsea but failed to a 2:1 defeat against the Red Devils at Old Trafford. The away side had several players infected by the Covid-19 virus and had to close its ground for the last ten days. Those issues saw them fielding youngsters against Liverpool in the FA Cup, and they got knocked out by a 4:1 defeat that everybody saw coming. Nevertheless, Dean Smith should have his main players at his disposal on Wednesday and try to break City’s winning streak. Aston Villa sits in the middle of the table, seven points behind the fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, but with three games in hand. Tyrone Mings and the lads are doing an excellent job in the back and are among the best defensive sides in the competition. Villa conceded just five goals on the road and suffered two defeats. They need another disciplined performance to stand a chance of remaining undefeated.
    Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
    Manchester City celebrated five times in a row against Aston Villa, and they want to keep that run going. The visitors remained undefeated at Etihad Stadium last time in 2007, and City is a strong favorite in this one. We believe they are going to meet the expectations and book another victory against the rivals from Birmingham.
    Goals Market Prediction
    Man City’s defense has been rock-solid lately, while Villa hasn’t scored in their last two games at Etihad Stadium. We expect the hosts to keep the clean sheet once again, so our second pick is BTTS No.

    No chance. Torquay are looking to win the league so wouldn’t be playing Yeovil next season anyway. Lee has never managed in non league football so would be very surprised if he ever ended up at Yeovil
