Arsenal’s first opportunity to win a major trophy since 2020 comes against Man City in the EFL Cup on Sunday afternoon. Mikel Arteta is unbeaten against Pep Guardiola in the last six matches and will be hoping to secure silverware for the first time in almost six years.  On the back of a hugely disappointing exit against Barcelona, Newcastle host rivals Sunderland in a game that represents huge importance for Eddie Howe, whilst Tottenham and Nottingham Forest go head-to-head in a very important six pointer in the battle to avoid the drop.

Everton host Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, or as it’s better known to Mark O’Haire, the Hill Dicky.  Following their disastrous end to their Champions League campaign, Chelsea’s full focus must turn to securing a top five place in order to qualify for the competition once more next term.  The team currently ahead of them, Liverpool, head to Brighton who have a surprisingly strong home record under Fabian Hurzeler, whilst Leeds will look to pull clear of the relegation zone at home to Brentford under the lights.

Newcastle are hoping to end Barcelona’s faultless record at Camp Nou with a seismic shock in the Champions League round of 16 second leg.

On the other hand, Man City and Chelsea both have significant work to do as they trail Real Madrid and PSG by three goals respectively.  Abigail Davies is joined by Mark O’Haire, Jake Osgathorpe and JimmyThePunt to preview the midweek European action.

After hauling themselves up to within a point of safety in the Premier League, West Ham briefly turn their attention to the FA Cup as they host Brentford.
