CHELSEA-MANCHESTER CITY

All eyes will be on Wembley Stadium when Chelsea and Manchester City face off in the EFL Cup final. The Blues have reached the final after eliminating Tottenham's rivals in the previous round. Chelsea will then try to take revenge on Man City, after the embarrassing 6-0 defeat in the Premier League suffered a few weeks ago. This match will award the first seasonal English trophy. The Man City is also in charge of the EFL Cup, where last season won in the final 3-0 against Arsenal. The Londoners are sixth in the rankings at 50 in Premier, also outside the Europa League area. The Sarri team has incredibly disappointed in this first part of the season, despite the fact that several reinforcements have also arrived from the market. The last match, played Thursday evening in the return of the 16th Europa League, ended with a 3-0 triumph on the home field against Malmo, which brought the team to the next stage. In the FA Cup, however, came a burning elimination against the Man Utd, which was followed by the boos of the fans. On the injured front, goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is in doubt because of a problem with the biceps femoris: Willy Caballero is ready in the posts. As always, a man to watch over Maurizio Sarri's team will be Eden Hazard, even if the Belgian will not have an easy way against the defense of the City. The attacking trio should be formed by Pedro, Higuain and Hazard, with the usual runoff between Willian and the Spaniard. In case of defeat the fate of Sarri is not rosy: Rumors in fact speaks of exemption with the deputy Zola ready to take over. Manchester City however is still in play on all fronts, after having easily passed the FA Cup round and won the first leg of the first knockout round of the Champions League against Schalke. Guardiola can count on a rose full of champions but also the maniacal work in training is giving the desired results. The City is currently at the top of the Premier, even if Liverpool have one game less. John Stones and Gabriel Jesus are likely to skip the match due to injury: both have missed the Champions League match against Schalke but their presence will remain in doubt until the end. It will be run-off until the last between Sanè and Bernardo Silva, two players of Guardiola. Aguero and his companions therefore stand favorites in this final, where obviously everything can happen. AWAY TEAM TO WIN 2

ARSENAL-SOUTHAMPTON:

The Gunners are fifth in the rankings at 50 points and come from three wins and two losses in the last five games. Arsenal has 53 goals scored against 37 conceded : the Gunners, currently, are living a positive moment.

Unai Emery will have to continue without Danny Welbeck, Bellerin and Rob Holding due to injuries. Alexandre Lacazette will return to the field instead. Relegation zone instead occupied by Southampton, eighteen in the ranking with only 24 points. The guests, among other things, are in trouble, as they did not win three rounds in the Premier League. Southampton who, in particular, comes from the knockout against Cardiff for 1-2, in what was an important collision of salvation. As for the formations, Ralph Hasenhuttl will miss the match , injured both Obafemi and former Juventus Mario Lemina. Danny Ings, who scored two goals against the Gunners in the December victory, is in doubt. HOME TEAM TO WIN 1

MANCHESTER UNITED-LIVERPOOL:

The Red Devils, from the advent of Solskjaer on the bench, are unstoppable anymore; the team has climbed the rankings and is now fourth in the standings, in full Champions League area, with 51 points, a point of advantage over Arsenal and Chelsea, pursuers more than fierce. That's why, despite the great effort, Manchester United can not loosen its grip. The team is back from two consecutive victories and aims to lengthen the band of useful results bringing home a decidedly prestigious scalp, like that of the Reds. Fifth best attack of the tournament and tenth defense, at home seven wins in 12 rounds. The Liverpool, however, is second in the standings with 65 points, same points with Manchester City but has a match less than the City; the Reds are disputing an extraordinary championship and are aiming for the title that has been missing in the bulletin for a long, long time. The team, in the last round, has returned to success after two consecutive draws that have lost precious points and now Firmino and teammates aim to recover the ground lost by ringing a long line of consecutive victories. Extraordinary statistics for Klopp's men; second best attack of the tournament and less beaten defense of the Premier. Nine wins in 13 matches away. YES: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

BOLOGNA-JUVENTUS:

The Bologna of Mihajlovic will undoubtedly have a very difficult task. The Bolognese are terzultimi in the standings at 18 points, and therefore in full relegation zone, but see the salvation quite close, as the Empoli quart ultimo is only 3 points away. Bologna without victories in Serie A for 2 rounds, among other things, the knockout of the last round against Roma (1-2 away). They will need a miracle in this match with Juve at the top of the form, to score points in this challenge. Juventus however will definitely be eager they will face Bologna at the Dall'Ara. The men of Allegri, in fact, come from the defeat of the Wanda Metropolitano in the knockout round of the Champions League (0-2), and will certainly have a desire for revenge against a match that probably compromised their European path, even if there is always a return match at the Stadium to play. In the league, however, Juventus knows no rivals, given the first place in the standings with 66 points, 13 more than Napoli second, and the seasonal unbeaten. In the last round of Serie A, CR7 and companions defeated Frosinone without any difficulty (3-0 at home). AWAY TEAM TO WIN 2

PARMA-NAPOLI:

The home team are in the calm zone, twelfths with 29 points, but the last month has seen a collapse in performance. Except for the unexpected 3-3 at Juventus, for the team three defeats came, in the last four rounds. On the last round the 1-2 collected in Cagliari showed a clear decline in motivation for D'Aversa's team,therefore they will be more loaded and aggressive. The away team instead, despite the useful series of six rounds, three wins and three draw, therefore, the Scudetto dream for Ancelotti seems finished. Seconds to 53 points, the Neapolitans are now at -13 from Juventus, a gap matured by recent difficulties in the team and also for infertility in the goal zone. The 0-0 of Florence and the home one with Torino are evidence of the difficulty in general to goal in the box, what happened in the last three outings. AWAY TEAM TO WIN 2

LEGANES-VALENCIA:

The hosts are 13th in the standings with 29 points; a good margin but far from reassuring for the Leganés who in the last round collected a heavy defeat by Real Sociedad that put an end to the series of two consecutive victories. The goal is, now, to return to success to resume points and armor salvation. Fifth worst attack of the tournament and 11th defense, at home five hits in 11 lost. The Valencia, however, is ninth at 32 points and is disputing a very disappointing championship; the minimum place in the standings was the fourth place, while there are four points to recover for the Europa League area. The team holds the record of draws in the league, as many as 14, and the men of Marcelino Garcia Toral, just to honor this statistic, are returning from three draws in a row. In the Europa League, however, they beat Celtic 1-0 in the return of the 16th on Thursday and pulled off the pass for the second round. Third worst attack of the tournament, the weak point of the team, the defense is a bunker, the second best. In away three successes in 11 matches. UNDER 2.5

ATLETICO MADRID-VILLARREAL:

The home team are second in the standings with 47 points, seven points less than the leaders Barcelona; thanks to the return to victory and the simultaneous defeat of Real Madrid against Girona.

The Atletico comes to this match with a morale of a thousand, thanks to a 2-0 win against Juventus in the first leg of the Champions League first knockout rounds. Villarreal, on the other hand, lives a decidedly different, almost dramatic situation; the team is desperately hunting for points that can avoid the abyss and the relegation. At the moment the team is eighteen in the standings with 23 points and virtually going to LaLiga2, but salvation is just a distance away and everything can still happen. The moment is positive; in the last round, in fact, a success arrived and there are five points won in the last three rounds . 1X + UNDER 4.5

LEVANTE-REAL MADRID:

Real Madrid, on the other hand, is third at 45 points; has slipped behind Atletico and -9 from the leaders Barcelona in the last round, thanks to the defeat - unexpected - against the Girona arrived after a long series of consecutive victories in which they were brought to third place. Now they will serve to start off on the right foot, with a success that can once again put the home team in a very disgraced and fluctuating season. The attack is the second best of the tournament, while it defence only the ninth of the championship, proving to be the weak point of the team. OVER 2.5
