Chelsea have won five of their last seven away games in all competitions and should be able to extend that run against an Aston Villa side who have been victorious in just one of their last nine outings in all competitions.

Arsenal will be keen to avoid an upset and continue their title charge at Brighton but the Seagulls have picked up form, winning their last two, and can trouble the Premier League leaders. The Gunners have gone four league games without a clean sheet and both teams to score should land for the fourth time in five head-to-heads.

Manchester City have won their last six games and are unbeaten at home since November. They have won 11 of their 13 games since that defeat, keeping a clean sheet in seven of those victories, while Nottingham Forest have lost their last three games and their three trips to the Etihad since their promotion have resulted in an aggregate loss of 11-0.

Fulham made it three wins on the spin on Sunday and they have won four of their last five home games. West Ham may have given themselves a fighting chance in their battle against relegation, but a 5-2 defeat at Liverpool last time out made it two losses from their last three Premier League away games.

Newcastle have lost four of their last five Premier League games and each of their last three home league games. Manchester United came from behind to win on Sunday, extending their unbeaten run to 11 league assignments, with six wins from their last seven in the top flight.

Both of these sides sit in the relegation zone and both have leaky defences. Braintree have shipped 51 goals in their 33 games while Gateshead have conceded 76 – averaging just under 2.4 per-game against. Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of the hosts’ last five games and in each of the visitors’ last three.

Hamburg have hit some form in their fight against the drop and they should provide a test for European hopefuls Leverkusen. Both teams have scored in four of Hamburg’s last five games, including clashes with Bayern and Leipzig,  and they have scored in all of them. Bayer have seen goals at both ends in three of their last five league games and they have just one clean sheet during that run.

Real Sociedad’s 1-0 win at Mallorca on Saturday was their fourth victory in their last six, while they’ve won three of their last four home meetings with Athletic Bilbao. La Real look the more likely winners but a clean sheet could be too big of an ask as both teams have scored in 11 of Athletic Bilbao’s last 12 matches and their last seven away trips, while the hosts have kept only one clean sheet at home in La Liga this season.

These teams played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the corresponding league fixture in November and goals at both ends could be on the cads again in this Coupe de France quarter-final.

Joao Pedro has been Chelsea’s top scorer in the Premier League this season, netting 11 times, and he is fancied to get on the scoresheet once more against an Aston Villa side who have been leaky at the back as of late.

Antoine Semenyo scored the winner against Leeds on Saturday to take his tally to five goals for his new club. He has 14 Premier League goals for Bournemouth and Manchester City and can continue his fine start to life at the Etihad.

Viktor Gyokeres spent three years at Brighton as a youngster and he will be out to hurt his former employers, who may be starting to regret letting him leave for Coventry in 2021. The Swede loves playing weaker sides, scoring nine of his ten Premier League goals against sides in the bottom half, and should make his mark at the Amex.

Celtic have won both previous meetings between these sides by more than one goal this season and they can cover a -1 handicap again at Pittodrie. The Dons have failed to score in their last two games and Celtic have scored multiple goals in five of their last six road games, so they should be able to win with room to spare as they bid to keep the pressure on leaders Hearts. Celtic have scored at least twice in five of their last six away games and exactly twice in four of those trips, so a routine 2-0 win for the visitors is predicted as Aberdeen have failed to score in four of their last six games.

Lazio are winless in five, including a 2-0 home defeat against Atalanta, while the hosts have lost eight of their 12 league meetings with the sides above them this term. The visitors have won five of their last seven, and they can continue their good form as they target a place in the Coppa Italia final.

These two sides are meeting in the knockouts for the fifth straight year, and Real Madrid have won three of the previous four meetings, including the last two. The Spanish giants have won eight of their last 10 under new boss Arbeloa at the time of the draw, and they are one of the few sides in Europe with the individual talent to match City.

While Chelsea beat PSG 3-0 in the summer’s Club World Cup, Enzo Maresca’s tactical tweaks were key in that victory. Months on, and the Blues look to have gone backwards. PSG clearly took issue with the Blues, and they can claim some revenge after eliminating three Premier League sides on their way to last season’s final.

Sporting are arguably the weakest of the top-eight sides, while Bodo have won four straight European games including home and away victories over Inter Milan. The Norwegian side went to the semis in the Europa League last year, and they can see off a Sporting side who overperformed their xG numbers at a huge rate in the League Phase.

Atletico Madrid were handily beaten by Arsenal and Liverpool in the League Phase, while they were a mess defensively against Club Brugge in the last round. Spurs won all four home games on their way to finishing fourth in the first round, and they can match an Atletico side who have been far from dominant in Europe in recent seasons.
