- English Premier League / Kickoff at 18:30 GMT+7
After losing two consecutive matches and missing out on both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup titles, the "Gunners" bounced back with a win over Sporting Lisbon in the UCL quarterfinal first leg. They now face Bournemouth aiming for a third Premier League five-match winning streak this season. Arsenal have won their last seven home games in all competitions, scoring at least twice in six of those. Latest team news: Declan Rice and Gabriel have returned to full fitness, while Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, and Martin Ødegaard are still fitness doubts.
"The Cherries" remain unbeaten in 11 league matches but have drawn seven times, including the last five matches and a point against Manchester United before the international break. They still have hopes for their first European competition qualification. Their last five away games have been solid with two wins and three draws. Last season, Bournemouth beat Arsenal both home and away, but they lost 2-3 at home earlier this season. Eli Junior Kroupi is expected to be fit to partner Rayan and Evanilson. However, Arsenal are likely strong enough to edge a win.
Expert opinion : The Gunners to narrowly win.
- English Premier League / Kickoff at 23:30 GMT+7
The "Reds" are struggling with three straight losses, missing out on the FA Cup and damaging their chances in the UCL and top 5 Premier League spots. Since March, under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have won only 2 games (with 1 draw and 5 losses). In the last three matches, they scored only once while conceding eight goals. However, they play at Anfield where they've lost just once in their last 13 matches (8 wins, 4 draws). Mohamed Salah is expected to start after missing the PSG game, while Alexander Isak is likely unfit to displace Hugo Ekitike.
"The Cottagers" have improved in the last five league games with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. They have recovered 8 points in 2026 after nearly losing matches and trail only Bournemouth and Manchester United (9 points) among clubs competing for European qualification. Their away form is less impressive with 8 losses in 15 matches, and only 4 wins. In 32 league trips to Anfield, they have won only twice and lost 22 times. Despite missing three players through injury, their attack remains dangerous with former Liverpool man Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez. They could secure a draw.
Expert opinion : Fulham to hold Liverpool to a draw.
- Spanish La Liga / Kickoff at 23:30 GMT+7
Despite a 0-2 home defeat to Atletico Madrid in the UCL quarterfinal first leg, Barcelona remain strong in the league with six consecutive wins. This match is crucial to extend their 7-point lead over Real Madrid. Barcelona's home record is the best in the league with 15 wins, 47 goals scored, and only 8 conceded. They have won all of the last four league meetings against Espanyol. Pedri is expected to miss due to midweek injury, but Gavi returns to compensate. Some attackers may be rested ahead of UCL progression, but Marcus Rashford is expected to lead the front line.
Espanyol have not beaten Barcelona in the league since February 2009 and are winless in 13 consecutive matches since 2026 began (8 losses, 5 draws). Their last win was a 2-1 away victory over Athletic Bilbao on 22 December. A positive note for "The Parakeets" is Pere Milla returning from suspension, though Clemens Riedel is now suspended. Despite having attackers like Pol Lozano and Roberto Fernandez, they are unlikely to challenge the "Blaugrana" effectively.
Expert opinion : Barcelona to win comfortably.
- German Bundesliga / Kickoff at 20:30 GMT+7
The "Yellow Submarines" have won four consecutive matches after losing to Bayern Munich, their main title rival, leaving them 9 points behind. Their only two league defeats this season came against Bayern. In head-to-head this season, Dortmund won away in the Bundesliga but lost at home in the DFB-Pokal round of 16. Dortmund's home league form remains reliable with 11 wins and 1 loss in 14 matches. They will miss Karim Adeyemi due to suspension, while Emre Can and Felix Mejia are injured. Fortunately, attackers Julian Brandt and Serhou Guirassy are available.
"The Pharmacy" are still in the race for a top 4 finish to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, trailing Stuttgart by 4 points. Their recent form is solid with six unbeaten Bundesliga matches (2 wins, 4 draws). Their last game was a thrilling 6-3 win over Wolfsburg. In their last three visits to Dortmund across all competitions, Leverkusen remain unbeaten with 2 wins and 1 draw. Injuries include Jarell Quansah, Lucas Vasquez, and Martin Terrier, but their attack includes Patrick Schick, Nathan Tella, Ernest Poku, and Ibrahim Maza. They can aim for at least a draw.
Expert opinion : Draw with goals expected.
