City to Show Strength against Spurs in Champions League
A simply massive night at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday when Manchester City host Tottenham in the Champions League. The prize for the club getting through is a place in the semi finals of the competition, joining Barcelona, Ajax and then probably Liverpool, who hold an advantage for their trip to Porto which is also on Wednesday.
Whoever progresses from this tie will see this as a golden opportunity, and certainly their best to win the Champions League for some years.

Juventus to Finish Off Ajax in Italy
Juventus host Ajax in their Champions League quarter final second leg game on Tuesday, with the tie still in the balance. However, after drawing 1-1 in Holland, there is no doubt that Juventus have the upper hand here, going back home and aiming to make the semi finals. That would be the bare minimum for the Italian side this season, they are once again dominating Serie A, but more is needed if they are to really be successful.
Watford And Arsenal Set To Throw Down At Vicarage Road
The Premier League’s end of the season is going to be as mad as any of us could ever hope for it to be, with this weekend’s fixtures giving us a glimpse of that. Every single team in this division is fighting, regardless of whether or not they’ve got nothing to play for or if they’ve already been relegated. It’s all about pride and it’s all about making the most of what has already been a pretty tasking and arduous season,

Liverpool Face Huge Challenge Against Chelsea
It’s at this point of the season when things start getting a little bit tenser for teams up and down the Premier League table. Injuries come into play, last minute goals impact where you end up finishing, and fans tend to get pretty nervous. Of course, that’s all part of the fun, but only if you’re a neutral. There’s still so much left to be decided between now and the end of the campaign that it’s almost too difficult to predict how things are going to go down,

Manchester United Face Must Win Game Against The Hammers
The Premier League is back in our lives once again this weekend, as the end of the current season draws ever closer. All twenty teams are playing for something even at this late stage of the campaign, whether it be pride or the title itself.

Improved Leicester Can Keep Winning for Rodgers
While Leicester may not have been struggling and in danger of the relegation zone at the start of the season, it is clear that both the board and the fans were not happy with the direction in which the club was going. The club took steps to bring in a new manager, and that man was Brendan Rodgers, who returned to the Premier League after a very successful stint in Scotland with Celtic. Rodgers has thrived on the return to the Premier League,

Napoli Have the Quality to Hold Arsenal at The Emirates
Just like the Champions League, which we have seen for the past two evenings, the Europa League is also down to the last eight. Of those clubs that remain, two are from England and are probably among the favourites to win the competition outright along with Napoli and Benfica. One of Napoli or Arsenal will be out after this game though as they face each other in what is certainly the clash of the round.

Manchester United to Perform on the Big Stage and Beat Barca
The Champions League is back this week and on Wednesday night the tie of the night is certainly the one that takes place at Old Trafford. Manchester United host Barcelona in the first leg of this tie, with the second game coming towards the end of the month in Spain.
If United are to cause an upset here, then they more than likely have to take something from this game to defend in Spain with them.

Dominant City to Beat Spurs in Champions League First Leg Clash
With four of the eight clubs remaining in the Champions League being English, the odds on an all-English tie were pretty big. That is exactly what we got, one of the four ties features two English clubs and that is this game featuring Tottenham and Manchester City.
In the first leg on Tuesday, Spurs host Manchester City and with how good City are at home, it is highly likely that Tottenham need to take something with them if they are to come out on top of the two legged tie.

Manchester City Face Brighton In FA Cup Semi-Final
Domestic football is what the majority of fans of the beautiful game tune in to see, and understandably so. International football only comes around every so often, whereas the actual club games occur on a week to week basis. Of course, most of those games we’re referring to are in the league, and not the cup – but that doesn’t mean we should neglect the true magic of cup football. This weekend we’re going to be treated to two FA Cup semi finals that are as different as they are exciting,
