It’s hardly a shock that we expect goals following that fine run for both sides. Lazio have scored in 100% of their home games, while Juve have found the net in their last 11 matches. Both sides have so much attacking talent that both teams to score seems like a solid price here, having landed in four of Juve’s last five away trips in Serie A.
After a mostly uneventul first half, Pep Guardiola's side went ahead in the 56th minute when Gabriel Jesus twisted and turned in the box before poking the ball to Ilkay Gundogan who slotted home. Yet Shakhtar drew level in the 69th minute with a perfectly-constructed break that ended with Israeli substitute Manor Solomon drilling past Ederson after an excellent pull-back from Dodo.
Manchester United have had better results at home but it takes a good team to beat them on their travels. They had a good win at Tottenham and drew at Reading, both above Brighton in the table. Brighton are in ninth but have played more games than the sides below them. Two of their last three league games have been lost and United can be backed to get the win here.
Arsenal played a young, changed but pretty strong team for their trip to Fratton Park in the FA Cup, and that was reflected in the overall performance and indeed result, as they strolled past their League One opponents with a little more ease than the 2-0 scoreline suggested. Sokratis Papstathopoulos and Eddie Nketiah got the goals, as Mikel Arteta’s side recovered from the funk that overcame them in the Europa League last week to win this one with ease.
They have scored the second least goals in Ligue 1 this season with just eleven. They haven't created that much as a result of their defensive setup and therefore Boulaye Dia has been chasing shadows up front for most of the campaign. Reims have just four goals in their last six away games, failing to beat extremely weak sides like Brest (0-1) and Metz (1-1) in this time, but they have another chance to set things right as they travel to the home of an out-of-sorts Amiens side.
Last year, only managing a draw at home to PSV Eindhoven which allowed eventual finalists Tottenham to take their place in the knock-out stages. This time around it is Dortmund who were gifted the golden ticket. As well as Antonio Conte has done in the league this will be a black mark against him. Inter were far from poor and threatened throughout in a pulsating game but really should have put the inexperienced Barcelona defence to the sword.

The union also wants to see "substantive" diverse representation at board level across football's key governing bodies.

He shone last season, scoring 21 goals and providing 24 assists as Ajax won a domestic double, and came close to reaching the Champions League final only to be denied by Tottenham's extraordinary late second-leg fightback. Ziyech also contributed to three Ajax goals in a 4-4 draw against Chelsea during their Champions League group game in November of this season.

If you see where I came from in a very small village far from the capital in Dakar, it was really tough, but it's part of life and you have to dream and keep going every single day," he said. You have to have self-belief, never give up and work hard. I think that's the key, and putting it in your head that you will become something. Despite being one of the best players in the world, Mane says his mother and uncle "hate football" and always thought it was a "waste of time".
Brest have been alright going forward at home this season with eight goals in their last six matches at the Stade Francis-Le-Blé so we're backing them to convert here against Strasbourg. However, Dall'Oglio's men have been conceding so many chances recently and with Strasbourg scoring four goals in two of their last three matches we're expecting a few goals here. We think this will finish 3-1 to the visitors.

Pau currently sit 4th in the third tier of French football but will be looking to make up the difference here as they face top level Bordeaux. Pau had a far easier tie in the previous round as they beat fifth tier Sablé but with them only scraping past the minnows on penalties, they will have to put in a far better performance here or face elimination.
For Leicester, it was incredible and we wanted to see what was happening so we drove into town. Four or five days later, 'Vards' put a few pictures in our group asking who the cars parked at his house belonged to, because no one had been to claim them. The moment it all changedIt's 12 May, 2013 and Leicester have been beaten in the final minute of their Championship play-off semi final at Watford. Anthony Knockaert could have put the Foxes through in injury-time but his penalty is saved, before Watford go down the other end and Troy Deeney scores with practically the last kick of the game.
Forwards - Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Anthony Martial (Man Utd) Calvert-Lewin: The Everton forward couldn't hit a barn door six months ago and now he can't stop scoring. To be fair to Calvert-Lewin it took fired-up caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson to really inspire this kid. Since Ferguson occupied the hot seat the young striker has not looked back. Five goals in five league games tell its own story.
