1. Leeds United v Newcastle United — Premier League, 20:00
Leeds go into this one on the back of mixed results in both league and cup, while Newcastle arrive having gone five matches unbeaten across all competitions despite a leaky defence.
Leeds United — recent results
- Nottingham Forest 0-1 Leeds (W, Premier League)
- Nottingham Forest 0-2 Leeds (W, EFL Cup)
- Leeds 1-1 Brentford (D)
- Brighton 1-1 Leeds (D)

- Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth (D)
- Millwall 0-1 Newcastle (W, EFL Cup)
Joe Rodon is a long-term absentee for Leeds with a thigh injury, while Mateo Joseph continues his recovery from an ACL problem. Newcastle have their own fitness concerns, with Joelinton, Dan Burn and William Osula all set to miss out, though Amar Dedic's hamstring issue is not thought to be serious. Both sides have shown they can score but also concede freely, with Newcastle in particular yet to shore up a defence that's leaked shots all season.
Prediction: Leeds United 2-2 Newcastle United. Two open, attack-minded sides with defensive question marks should produce goals at both ends and a share of the spoils.
2. Inter Milan v Udinese — Serie A, 19:45
Inter return to San Siro looking to bounce back from a Champions League defeat to Real Madrid, against an Udinese side that has struggled for consistency and is missing several key players through injury.
Inter Milan — recent results
- Real Madrid 2-1 Inter Milan (L, Champions League)
- Inter Milan 3-2 Napoli (W)
- Cagliari 0-1 Inter Milan (W)
- Inter Milan 4-1 Monza (W)
Udinese — recent results
- Udinese 1-2 Lazio (L)
- Monza 2-3 Udinese (W)
- Udinese 1-1 Como (D)
Federico Dimarco is back in contention for Inter after a minor injury, though Djed Spence remains sidelined. Udinese have a longer injury list, missing Jakub Piotrowski and Oumar Solet from their last outing along with the longer-term absent Nicolo Zaniolo, Matteo Palma, Juan Alvarez and Alessandro Zanoli. With Inter's attack in good form and Udinese's defence stretched thin, the hosts should have too much for the visitors.
Prediction: Inter Milan 2-0 Udinese. Inter's domestic form and home advantage should be enough to bounce back from their midweek European defeat.
3. Villarreal v Real Betis — La Liga, 20:00
Villarreal head into this one without a win in four league matches, while Real Betis arrive on the back of an impressive victory over Real Madrid and a run of three wins in their last four.
Villarreal — recent results
- Deportivo La Coruna 3-2 Villarreal (L)
- Villarreal 0-1 Alaves (L)
- Villarreal 2-2 Atletico Madrid (D)
- Villarreal 2-2 Racing Santander (D)
Real Betis — recent results
- Real Betis 1-0 Real Madrid (W)
- Levante 5-2 Real Betis (L)
- Real Betis 0-1 Valencia (W)
- Real Betis 1-0 Real Sociedad (W)
No major fresh injury concerns have been reported for either side ahead of kick-off. Villarreal's home form has dipped badly, with two defeats and two draws in their last four league outings, while Betis go into the match full of confidence after toppling Real Madrid. The visitors' momentum should count for plenty at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
