Preview
The knockout stage of the Champions League starts spectacularly with a match between Manchester City and Barcelona. Manchester City perform greatly in front of own audience this season, scoring an average of 3.59 goals in a home game. Barcelona have played rather poorly in their away matches of the Champions League, but the bookmakers define them as the favorite to win this match.
The derby for Rome undoubtedly will once again offer a great deal of emotion to all the football fans.

The fans in Rome are awaiting eagerly, because the win in this match means much more than just winning the three points.
Tottenham and Everton face each other in a direct clash for the 5th place in the Premier League, which entitles participation in the Europa League.

This round of the Premier League starts hammering with the mega clash between Liverpool and Arsenal. Both teams are in the title race, and the hosts have a good opportunity to catch up a little on the top of the standings. For Arsenal, the loss of points here, will probably cost them the leadership. The stakes are high and we can definitely expect a spectacular match.
Manchester City enter into this important clash as a leader in the standings and a favorite for the three points. Chelsea on the other hand, conceded an unpleasant draw in the last round and a potential loss in this game will leave the londoners 6 points away from the first spot.
In midweek, Everton suffered their worst defeat of the season by their biggest rival. Accordingly, the "Toffees" will try to quickly make it up to their supporters, but it will never be easy against a traditionally tough opponent for them - Aston Villa.
There may be some rearrangement at the top of the Premier League table, if Chelsea win this match by more than 1 goal and Manchester City win their today's visit. This will mean that Arsenal will drop to the third position. Although the points difference is minor, this will definitely be a hit for Arsenal, which have a hard fixtures up ahead in the next three rounds.

play at extremely high level this season and just one point separates them in the standings. We definitely can expect a tough and exciting clash.
Chelsea perform traditionally well in the FA Cup and the team will certainly pursue this trophy, which have won 4 times in the last 5 years.

Two teams, for which the season develops quite differently, face each other in the 21st round of La Liga. Valladolid is currently in the relegation zone and desperately need points,
while Villarreal is in the battle for getting into the top 4.
The match of the round in the Premier League is between the teams of Chelsea and Manchester United. Regardless of the current form of these two giants an impressive performance and
much emotions are guaranteed. Chelsea are in the title race, while the goals ahead of United this season seem more modest. However, in such derby clashes the goal is much greater
than just winning the three points.
Liverpool meets Aston Villa at Anfield with a clear objective - to get three points and increase their lead in the top four, ahead of the pursuers Tottenham and Everton.
Newcastle, which are performing quite well this season, have a very tough task to face the most goalscoring team in the league. Manchester City have scored 57 goals so far and this
certainly bothers Alan Pardew, who will not be able to rely on his main defenders Debuchy and Coloccini.

spectacle is guaranteed.
