Tom: Lyon are winless in seven matches in all competitions and they look vulnerable ahead of the visit of Monaco. Sebastien Pocognoli’s side have won four of their last five, while they have only lost one of their eight in all competitions.

Dan: West Ham have been beaten just twice in their last 12 matches and can avoid defeat at Villa Park. Villa have looked strong on European nights, but they have lost three on the spin in the Premier League and are worth opposing against a highly-motivated and in-form opponent.

Ian: A deserved 1-1 draw at Anfield showed there are signs of life for Tottenham, which was followed up by a European win in midweek. Spurs can gain only a third home league win of the season against the Tricky Trees, who needed extra-time to see off Midtjylland in the Europa League on Thursday and have won just one of their last 11 matches inside 90 minutes.

Alex: Bottom side Metz have shipped 60 goals in 26 games and have averaged 2.85 goals conceded per away game this season. Rennes have notched 12 goals in their last five, scoring three or more against PSG, Nice, and Auxerre.

Freiburg have been poor on their travels all season with eight defeats in 13 Bundesliga trips, and they have have little left to play for in the league. 

Aaron: Porto have conceded in visits to Sporting and Benfica this season, and they were 2-1 winners when they hosted Braga this term. Braga have scored 17 times across their last five home matches, netting in 14 consecutive home games across all competitions. Meanwhile, Porto have scored in each of their league trips this term.

Both of these sides are finding victories hard to come by at the moment and avoiding defeat may be their priority. Tottenham drew 2-2 at home to Manchester City last month, while Nottingham Forest played out the same scoreline against the same opponents away from home earlier in March.

Manchester City have scored in 14 of their last 15 games so should be able to threaten the Arsenal back line, but Arsenal have scored exactly twice in three of their last four games and have won 11 of their last 14 outings.
