Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the EPL Matchday 26 slate, which will headlined by Manchester City hosting Liverpool on Sunday. Manchester City were dumped out of the Champions League by defending champions Real Madrid on Wednesday, and now they face another tough test when Premier League leaders pay them a visit.Sunday’s clash represents the first time in a decade that Manchester City have been underdogs at home in the Premier League, despite the fact Liverpool have dropped points in their last two league away days.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) looks back at United’s controversial home win against Leicester and looks ahead to United’s trip to Tottenham. Things aren’t going well at United, but Tottenham are also having a turgid season. Tottenham were knocked out of a second cup competition in under a week last weekend as Aston Villa secured a 2-1 win at Villa Park, following on from a 4-0 thumping against Liverpool in their EFL Cup semi-final second leg in midweek.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down a selection of matches from a hugely important Matchday 25, which will see leaders Napoli travel to Lazio, while the narrow title favourites Inter Milan travel to Juventus.Juventus v Inter is traditionally the biggest game in Serie A, known as the Derby d’Italia, and Sunday’s encounter can live up to top billing by producing a fantastic match in Turin— especially given the fact that no team has scored more goals in Serie A this season than Inter’s 58.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the Matchday 25 EPL slate, which will see leaders Liverpool hosting Wolves on Sunday, while Newcastle travel to Manchester City on Saturday in the game of the weekend.Saturday’s game is a horrible sandwich spot for City, who capitulated for what felt like the umpteenth time this season on Tuesday when Real Madrid stunned the Citizens with a late fightback to win their Champions League knockout phase playoff first-leg 3-2 in Manchester. It was actually City’s 12th loss of the campaign, but those dozen defeats have come in their last 24 games.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) covers 4 handpicked UCL Playoff ties, including Manchester City v Real Madrid. The Citizens are off the pace in the Premier League and barely made it through the first round of the Champions League. That’s led to Real getting a lot of backing for this visit to the Etihad, but the European champions have their own issues. The Spaniards have a lot of heavyweight talent, but their record in big games this season is an issue. Real have failed to win any of their clashes with La Liga’s top four, including a 4-0 home defeat to Barcelona. That heavy loss was followed by their 5-2 thumping at Barca’s hands in the Super Cup last month. Therefore, despite City’s low ebb, it’s easy to make a case for them causing problems for Real tonight.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down a handpicked selection of FA Cup 3rd matches taking place on Saturday and Sunday. In one of the more eye catching ties, Aston Villa host Tottenham on Sunday in an all-Premiership affair. Tottenham head to the Midlands having already been ousted from one cup competition this week, with Liverpool handing them a thrashing at Anfield to overturn their first-leg EFL Cup semi-final deficit. To rub salt even more salt into the wounds, Richarlison’s first-half injury added to Ange Postecoglou’s extensive injury list. The under-pressure Australian is without at least ten first-team players this weekend, which does little for their chances of upsetting the odds.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) recaps United’s transfer window and recent loss to Crystal Palace before moving onto tomorrow’s FA Cup clash. While Manchester United’s mini-resurgence was brought to a galling end at home to Crystal Palace last weekend, but they should be able to bounce back with a win over the struggling Leicester. The Foxes, who sit 18th in the Premier League table, have lost three of their last four games without scoring and have only won two of their 14 competitive away games this season.These trips away include two visits to Old Trafford, where they were beaten 5-2 in the EFL Cup and 3-0 in the league.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the Matchday 24 EPL slate, which will see Liverpool travel to Bournemouth on Saturday, while Arsenal host Manchester City on Sunday. These are undoubtedly the top two games of the weekend.Arsenal are six points off the top, having played a game more than leaders Liverpool going into this pivotal weekend. Mikel Arteta’s side overcame a controversial red card to win 1-0 at Molineux last week and Arteta needs a huge performance from his players against a Jekyll and Hyde Manchester City team— that can be infuriatingly bad one minute, and appear back to their best the next.
