Wednesday night is certainly a big one, with two Champions League knockout ties and a Premier League top of the table clash.
In North London, Arsenal and Manchester City go head-to-head, with the Gunners now only three points clear of the Citizens. Man City have won their last ten Premier League meetings with Arsenal and, if they extend that streak, will go back to the top of the table for the first time since 19 August. Read the full match preview here.
Elsewhere, in the Champions League, Chelsea will be at Westfalenstadion, taking on a Borussia Dortmund side who’ve won all six matches since the winter break. This’ll be a first-ever meeting of these two clubs, but the Blues have won just three of their last nine matches in Germany.
204 miles west, Belgian champions Club Brugge take on Portuguese league-leaders Benfica. The away side haven’t reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup in back-to-back seasons since 1969, but travel to Belgium as overwhelming favourites to progress.

Borussia Dortmund v Chelsea
Borussia Dortmund to win – read more
Round of 16 champions league action and if the visitors Chelsea do not turn up tonight, they could be in for a massive shock. The hosts Borussia Dortmund are coming into the game in terrific form winning all seven of their last seven games in all competitions and based on league home form, they have averaged 2.44 points per game. The visitors Chelsea have only won one match in their last 8 between all competitions, something we do not think they expected after sacking manager Thomas Tuchel earlier this season.
Club Brugge v Benfica
Both teams to score – read more
Another round of 16 champions league action here and two ‘under dogs’ meet early on, the hosts Club Brugge have managed a goal in seven of their last eight games in all competitions, while the visitors Benfica have managed a goal in nine of their last ten games in all competitions. This could be a close game, especially with it being the first leg. With that being said, we fancy both sides scoring tonight.
