Preview: Valencia and Real Madrid headline the weekend round in LaLiga

Real Madrid will be looking to make it fourth consecutive league win when they travel to the Mestalla on Sunday evening to face Valencia.

By Ross Kilvington

The home side are on a two-game winless streak, having suffered a Copa del Rey exit in midweek to Athletic Club. A dramatic finale saw Iñaki Williams send the Basque side through to the semi-finals.

With one side going for the title while the other is battling relegation, the two clubs are separated by a staggering 31 points (written ahead of Saturday’s fixtures).

Real Madrid finally showing some form of late

Álvaro Arbeloa didn’t exactly get off to the best of starts at Real after taking over from Xabi Alonso. The club suffered a shock loss to Albacete in the Copa del Rey last month in his first game.

Since then, however, Los Blancos have suffered just one defeat. That came against José Mourinho’s Benfica in the Champions League.

Domestically, the club have won their previous three league matches to keep pace with Barcelona at the top of the table.

The Catalan side have a slim one-point advantage, but this could be extended to four points should they defeat Mallorca on Saturday afternoon.

Kylian Mbappé has scored eight goals across his last five matches and Arbeloa will be hoping he can help secure all three points for Madrid this Sunday evening.

Valencia are in a relegation dogfight

This year marks 25 years since Valencia reached a second consecutive Champions League final.

Fast forward a quarter of a century later and the club are in real danger of being relegated to the second tier.

The club have won just five of their 22 LaLiga matches this season, scoring just 23 goals in the process.

A quarter-final exit in the cup summed up their season. With the tie deep into injury time, Williams was on the receiving end of a delightful cross into the Valencia penalty area and slotted home the winner.

Valencia lost the reverse fixture 4-0 back in November and the last time they claimed victory against Real at the Mestalla was in May 2023.

The odds are certainly stacked against them this weekend.

Team news

Arbeloa is going to be without the services of Jude Bellingham, who is suffering with a hamstring injury.

Ferland Mendy and Éder Militão will also be absent, but Trent Alexander-Arnold and Antonio Rüdiger could make the squad.

Vinícius Júnior misses the clash due to suspension, having picked up another booking against Rayo Vallecano last time out.

The home side have several players out injured. José Copete, Guido Rodríguez, Thierry Correia, Julen Agirrezabala and Mouctar Diakhaby will miss the game against Real.

Elsewhere, Cristian Rivero and Joel Fontanet are suspended for the match.

Prediction

Real will likely be trailing Barcelona by four points by the time they take to the pitch on Sunday evening.

Anything other than a victory will give their rivals a major advantage in the title race. As such, expect a straightforward win on Sunday.

Preview: Man United meet Spurs in lunchtime kickoff

United are on their record worst run of results against Spurs but did grab a last gasp goal to nick a point the last time these two met back in November.

By Filip Mishov

Is Carrick the man to end United’s dreadful run against Spurs?

Manchester United’s revival under Michael Carrick continued with a dramatic Fergie-time winner against Fulham at Old Trafford, courtesy of Benjamin Šeško, and now, the rejuvenated Red Devils sit firmly in the top four after recording three straight victories under their interim coach. Looking further back, the in-form squad is on a seven-match (4W, 3D) unbeaten run, the longest in the Premier League at the moment, making them the only undefeated side in the top flight this calendar year.

However, given United’s recent record against Tottenham Hotspur, a monumental challenge awaits the English coach as they look to end their four-year wait for a win over his another of the sides that Carrick played for with distinction.

*Recent H2H results in the Premier League*

The Dominic Solanke-inspired comeback against Manchester City sparked a bit of life into Thomas Frank‘s project, but Spurs are still sitting in 14th place, closer to the relegation zone than to the top four.

Despite their European form once again being good, the reigning Europa League champions are on a six-match (4D, 2L) winless streak in the Premier League, and without a victory in 2026. The Lilywhites boast a difficult run of fixtures in February, but their away form (joint-fourth) and recent record (5W, 3D in all competitions) against their opponents today offers them hope ahead of their trip to Manchester. Spurs’ last defeat to United across all competitions dates back to 2022.

Key players

Kobbie Mainoo is making a late attempt to impress Thomas Tuchel and rejoin the England fold ahead of the World Cup, with his latest performances proving that Ruben Amorim was wrong to ignore the young midfielder’s talent. The 20-year-old has started and played 90 minutes in each of the previous three matches under the new coach, averaging a FotMob rating of 7.2. Also, the Englishman is the squad’s best midfielder based on his pass success (87.8) and successful long balls (73.3) despite playing considerably less minutes (498) than Manuel Ugarte (750), Casemiro (1558) and Bruno Fernandes (1807) in the Premier League.

With James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski both injured and yet to play this season, the playmaking burden may fall on Xavi Simons to deliver, and the attacking midfielder’s performances have been on the rise in 2026 with the Barcelona youth product product averaging a FotMob rating of 7.5 across all competitions in this calendar year. Additionally, the Dutch international is leading the Spurs ranks in terms of big chances created (5), xA per 90 (0.21), and possession won in the final 3rd per 90 (1.2), displaying a variety of qualities which make him the squad’s main creative force.

Team news

Mason Mount missed the last match due to a knock and the Englishman is still doubtful, while Matthijs de Ligt and Patrick Dorgu are the only guaranteed absentees.

Spurs have no less than nine first-team players ruled out through injury, but Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence are expected to return and provide a big defensive boost.

Prediction

With the free-firing hosts averaging 2.6 goals per match during Michael Carrick’s short reign and already equalling their total goal tally from last season (44 goals), it is difficult to imagine Spurs preventing Matheus Cunha & co. from scoring, and even though their four victories against United from last season will give them confidence of securing a positive result, I expect the Red Devils to continue their revival by celebrating another important win at Old Trafford.

Preview: Barcelona welcome Mallorca to the mainland

Barcelona are on a run of 11 wins from their last 12 league games and can further extend their lead over Real Madrid on Saturday.

By Graham Ruthven

Forward line firing

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona are renowned for their attacking firepower and that has been made abundantly clear in the recent results charted by the Catalan side.

Indeed, Barca have scored two or more goals in each of their last five matches in all competitions. Even scarier than this is the fact they have underperformed their Expected Goals (xG) in a lot of these outings.

Last weekend, for example, the league leaders scored three times against Elche from an xG of 6.44. They created an incredible 13 Big Chances, highlighting how Elche were lucky to get away with a 3-1 defeat.

Barcelona have created 103 Big Chances in LaLiga this season. For context, Real Madrid are next on the list with 79 Big Chances. Flick’s team are unmatched for their final third invention.

This is bad news for a Mallorca side that has kept just one clean sheet away from home all season. Jagoba Arrasate’s team are fresh from an impressive 4-1 home win over Sevilla, but Saturday’s match at the Camp Nou will be a completely different test.

Real Madrid don’t play Valencia until Sunday and so this is an opportunity for Barcelona to stretch their lead at the top of LaLiga to four points.

Key players

Lamine Yamal can’t be stopped at the moment. The 18-year-old has registered seven goal contributions in his last six outings and is still Barcelona’s most creative player on the right side of the forward line.

Flick decided not to rest Yamal for the mid-week Copa del Rey win over Albacete, but is still expected to start the teenager against Mallorca as Barca look to press home their advantage at the top of the table.

Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres are currently taking it in turns to lead the line for the Catalans while midfielder Frenkie de Jong is on a run of arguably his best form of the season so far.

Joan García has been a brick wall since returning from injury, something that is important for Barcelona considering their high defensive line.

Vedat Muriqi has netted 15 league goals this season and will be a threat as Mallorca’s attacking focal point. The Kosovan was sent off in the season’s meeting between these two teams in August.

Sergi Darder has the potential to pull the strings as Mallorca’s number 10 while Pablo Maffeo could be an outlet for the visitors down the right side.

Only four goalkeepers are averaging more saves per 90 in LaLiga this season than Leo Román who must find top form to keep Barcelona at arm’s length. He will be called upon more than once.

Team news

Raphinha missed the win over Albacete on Tuesday with an adductor injury and is a major doubt for the home match against Mallorca. Marcus Rashford is expected to start in his place on the left wing.

Gavi is still recovering from knee surgery while Pedri is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Andreas Christensen completes Barca’s list of unavailable players for this match.

Toni Lato, Marash Kumbulla and Antonio Raillo have all carried knocks in recent matches for Mallorca, but are expected to be passed fit for the trip to Barcelona.

Prediction

Despite the goals of Muriqi, we think it’s a combination of Mallorca’s poor away record, and Barca’s sheer dominance in recent matches that will be the most telling factors here: Barcelona 4-1 Mallorca

Preview: Chelsea head to Molineux for Wolves test

We’re getting towards the business end of the season. Bottom of the Premier League with just eight points, Wolves are playing for pride, while a place in next season’s Champions League is still in the balance for Chelsea. They meet at the Molineux on Saturday.

By Alex Roberts

Chelsea won’t forget their incredible 3-2 comeback win over West Ham in their previous fixture last time out. The first time in the club’s Premier League history they came back from 2-0 down at half-time to win a game.

Wolves weren’t quite so fortunate. Rob Edwards’ side were arguably better than Bournemouth last time out, but they didn’t take their chances, losing 2-0 thanks to goals from Eli Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott.

Wolves wonderkid

There hasn’t been much for Wolves fans to get excited about this season. On track to be the worst side in Premier League history, ownership that appear uninterested, and players looking to leave. One positive is the emergence of Mateus Mané, however.

The 18-year-old has added some much-needed enthusiasm into this Wolves side. Capable of playing as a midfielder, a number ten, or even a striker, Mané is an impressive ball carrier, completing 11 dribbles in his 13 Premier League games.

With two goals and one assist, he’s their joint highest in terms of goal contributions as well as their joint top goal scorer. Now, that’s a pretty damning indictment of how poor Wolves have been, but Mané looks like a player with a great future, we’ll just have to wait and see if it’s at Wolves.

In need of a good game

Chelsea’s second half performance against West Ham was incredible, but we can’t forget that the first 45 minutes from Liam Rosenior’s side were dreadful. Unfortunately for Alejandro Garnacho, a lot of it was down to him.

Former Man United teammate Aaron Wan Bissaka ran Garnacho all over the place. The winger lost the full-back for both of West Ham’s goals and didn’t trackback enough to give Jorrel Hato much of a chance to prevent them from happening.

Garnacho was hooked at half time and it’s no coincidence that Chelsea looked more comfortable on the ball and less susceptible to counter attacks. The Argentine is undoubtedly a supremely talented player; he just needs to make sure his work off the ball is as well rounded as his work on it.

Team news

Wolves managed to replace now Crystal Palace striker Jørgen Strand Larsen with Adam Armstrong. The former Southampton ace is a doubt but will be assessed by their medical team ahead of the game.

Summer signing Jhon Arias is reportedly close to joining Palmeiras on a permanent deal, so it’s unlikely he’ll feature, while Toti Gomes (hamstring) and Ladislav Krejčí (illness) are also doubts.

Loan signing Angel Gomes could be in line to make his Wolves debut.

Chelsea’s injury list is getting longer and longer by the day. Reece James and Pedro Neto both missed the midweek defeat to Arsenal with knocks, and Rosenior has kept his cards close to his chest regarding whether they’ll be back or not.

Jamie Gittens’ hamstring injury is looking worse than initially thought, so he won’t be playing any time soon. Neither will Levi Colwill (ACL), Roméo Lavia (thigh), Dário Essugo (thigh), or Tosin Adarabioyo (thigh). Filip Jörgensen is close to returning.

The good news for Chelsea fans is that Rosenior has cleared both Cole Palmer and Estêvão to play the full 90 minutes.

Prediction

Wolves have picked up some points over their past five games and have looked better than their league position would suggest. Having said that, anything other than a Chelsea win would be a huge shock, so we’re going with a 2-1 away win.

Preview: Leaders Arsenal host Sunderland in the Premier League

The Gunners remain strong in all four competitions, top of two and in the final of another – but Mikel Arteta knows Arsenal cannot take their foot off the gas, with a run of four must-win, should-win fixtures coming up starting at home to Sunderland.

By Karl Matchett

Over several of the past few seasons it has been the February-March period which seems to kill off Arsenal’s title hopes; silly dropped points, disappointing defeats and a tendency to not stand up tall in the moments which matter most have all left the club without a notable trophy in close to six years.

Consistency wins titles

There’s no room for that type of falling short if the Gunners want to get over the line this year. Even after Manchester City’s recent dismal form of one win in six in the Premier League, Arsenal are only six points clear. Sunderland, Brentford and Wolves – plus Wigan in the cup – should all be nailed on victories for champions-in-waiting teams. Sooner or later Arteta may have to prioritise competitions or isolated fixtures, but that only makes it more important to get points on the board now before the European action ramps up once more. Following this mini-run it’s much tougher: the north London derby followed by Chelsea, with Manchester City not long after – both at Wembley and at the Etihad.

Primed for more shocks

Sunderland, on the other hand, have already surpassed expectations and more for this season. There will be no lingering concerns of relegation for them, sat eighth on 36 points already – a team hasn’t needed that many points to avoid the drop in a full decade. There’s more for them to achieve though, whether that’s a top-half finish or maybe even still push for a European spot in a best-case scenario.

With Habib Diarra back, Robin Roefs still in great form, Noah Sadiki and Enzo Le Fée forging a formidable partnership and the interesting January addition of Nilson Angulo soon to be included, there’s still an exciting three months ahead for the Black Cats, who have already shown they can upset teams above them.

Recent form

It’s one defeat in 16 in all competitions for Arsenal, though, at home in the league they’ve not won their last two. Sunderland are formidable at home, but their away form is sketchy; their one win in the last eight on the road came in the FA Cup at Everton on penalties. In 90 minutes, October was their last away victory.

Team news

Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino are out for the hosts and there will be no return for Granit Xhaka who remains sidelined for Sunderland. New signing Angulo could be involved, said manager Régis Le Bris this week.

Key player

Eberechi Eze seems to be being ignored and Martin Ødegaard is nowhere near his best – Declan Rice has been Arsenal’s top creator this year, boosted by set pieces. 44 chances makes him joint-second best in the league; 12 big chances have only led to three assists from a 4.9 xA.

Prediction

This one won’t be an easy task but Arsenal can rotate in attack to get the job across the line and move onto the next challenge: Arsenal 2-1 Sunderland.

Preview: Man City and Newcastle meet for Carabao Cup semi final, second leg

Manchester City already have one foot in the door of the Carabao Cup final, but their league form has been variable. Can they finish the job off against Newcastle on Wednesday evening?

By Ian King

Both sides have shown patchy form so far in 2026

Manchester City’s last outing, a trip to Tottenham Hotspur, said a lot about their Premier League season so far. An inability to hold onto a two-goal lead against a team struggling for any sort of form certainly spoke volumes about their league form since the start of 2026.

But one of their better performances of the new year was their comfortable 2-0 win at St James’ Park in the first leg of this Carabao Cup semi-final, and this serves as a reminder that Newcastle have been inconsistent all season and are in a bit of a trough at the moment themselves, too, following their 4-1 chastening at Liverpool at the weekend.

It’s been more than a decade since Newcastle last won at The Etihad

Going to The Etihad and overturning a two-goal lead sounds like a tall order, and the history books don’t offer much comfort to Newcastle, who haven’t won there since a 2-0 League Cup win in 2014, though they did beat City 2-1 at St James’ Park in the Premier League, earlier this season. Newcastle may take some consolation from the fact that they are the holders of this competition.

These two teams met in the 1976 final of this competition, with City winning 2-1 thanks to a spectacular overhead kick from Dennis Tueart. It turned out to be their last major trophy until they beat Stoke City to win the 2011 FA Cup. Newcastle’s win in this competition last year was their first major trophy since, depending on who you ask, the 1969 Fairs Cup, or the 1955 FA Cup.

*A reminder of the where we stand after the first leg*

Newcastle need goals, if they’re to find a way back into this cup tie

The Manchester City player to watch at the moment is quite clearly Antoine Semenyo, who’s made an explosive start to his time at The Etihad following his big money transfer from Bournemouth. He’s scored four in his first five games for them and has taken the heat off Erling Haaland, who hasn’t been firing on all cylinders so far in 2026.

Newcastle need goals if they’re to find any route back into this tie, so Anthony Gordon is an obvious place to start if we’re looking for them. Gordon scored their consolation at Liverpool last weekend as well as bagging one against PSV in their final Champions League group match, though like his team, his form has been inconsistent, of late.

Both sides have growing injury lists, but neither may want to shuffle ahead of a cup semi-final

Manchester City’s injury list continues to grow. Rúben Dias and Rayan Cherki are the latest to have joined it. Dias is training again, but is unlikely to feature in this match. Cherki is unlikely to be risked, given that City already have a comfortable lead from the first leg. Joško Gvardiol, Mateo Kovačić, John Stones, Jérémy Doku and Savinho are all longer-term absentees. Phil Foden and James Trafford could both get a recall. Trafford featured in the first leg of this tie.

For Newcastle, Bruno Guimarães, Sven Botman and Lewis Miley all missed the Liverpool match and may be rested again. Joelinton, Tino Livramento, Fabian Schär and Emil Krafth remain side-lined. Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa could be recalled.

Newcastle can make this an uncomfortable evening for Manchester City, but the home side should still prevail

With a comfortable two-goal lead from the first leg, this should be a comfortable evening for Manchester City, but neither of these sides have shown much consistency this season. Indeed, for Newcastle, inconsistency has been the most notable motif of their 2025-26 so far.

But both sides are in the running for a Champions League place, both are still in this season’s Champions League, and both are still in this year’s FA Cup, so it would be a stretch to describe either of them as being anywhere near in “crisis.”

Newcastle’s 4-1 defeat to Liverpool, coming on top of a 2-0 home defeat against Aston Villa, was a reminder of the work that they still need to do to secure a top four or five finish at the end of this season. But they are capable, and should they get an early goal then Manchester City have enough insecurities of their own at the moment for the visitors to be in with a chance.

Manchester City’s stuttering start to 2026 has been a surprise, considering this is the time of year that they’ve so often kicked into gear in the past. Throwing away a very comfortable two-goal at Spurs of all places was a sign that all is still not well at The Etihad, and their title pursuit is now looking somewhat forlorn again.

But a trophy’s a trophy, and Manchester City already have one foot in the door of a place in the final. They should get home this time, though I don’t expect Newcastle to make it easy for them. I’ll go for a 1-1 draw and for City to get through to that date with Wembley, though this tie isn’t quite a foregone conclusion yet.

Preview: Arsenal and Chelsea’s Carabao Cup semifinal, second leg

A place in the League Cup final is still up for grabs heading into the second leg of this semi-final. Arsenal are in the driving seat (leading 3-2 on aggregate), but could Liam Rosenior’s comeback kings pull off another one?

By Alex Roberts

Talk of a wobble appeared premature Arsenal are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League thanks to their 4-0 win over Leeds over the weekend. The pressure is off now, and the treble (at a minimum) is very much on.

The vibes at Chelsea are getting better by the game. Coming from 2-0 down to beat West Ham will have worked wonders for their confidence, even if the first half performance was abysmal. It turns out, when Chelsea play their best players, they play better.

Gyökeres finding some form

It’s not unfair to say that Viktor Gyökeres hasn’t lived up to the hype since he joined from Sporting in the summer. Whisper it quietly, however, four goals and two assists in his last six games across all competitions is a very good return.

The striker scored last time out, albeit thanks to some poor goalkeeping from Robert Sánchez being unable to gather Bukayo Saka’s low cross. All goals count the same though, it may not have been pretty, but he won’t care.

In another season, Arsenal may not be where they are today with a misfiring forward line. Gyökeres was signed to be the man to fire them to silverware, and recent performances show he still have every opportunity to make it happen.

Are you Frank Lampard in disguise?

Speaking of players who deserve their flowers at the moment, Enzo Fernández has been imperious for Chelsea since the turn of the year. Six goals in in his last ten games are numbers a certain former midfielder would be happy with.

Yes, a couple have been penalties, but it’s the way he’s changed his game over the course of the season that has really caught our attention. Fernández is timing his runs into the box perfectly, and his teammates are getting good at picking him out.

His goal in the 3-2 win over West Ham is the perfect example of that. Tomáš Souček doesn’t pick up his run until it’s too late, and by the time the big Czech ace goes to make a move, the ball is in the back of the net. Fernández is very quickly becoming one of Chelsea’s main goal threats.

Team news

The big team news is that Arsenal’s Mikel Merino is likely to miss the rest of the season with a foot injury. Whether Mikel Arteta has time to bring in a replacement remains to be seen, but either way, this game would be too soon.

Saka is also a major doubt having recently picked up a knock, meaning Noni Madueke will likely retain his place and feature against his former club on the right wing. Young Max Dowman (ankle) is also out.

Turning to Chelsea, their injury list is a little more extensive, but the starting line-up shouldn’t change too much. Rosenior will be without Roméo Lavia (thigh), Dário Essugo (muscle), Levi Colwill (ACL), Tosin Adarabioyo (thigh), and Jamie Gittens (muscle).

Prediction

Chelsea are winning games under Rosenior that they would have probably drawn or lost under Enzo Maresca. Having said that, Arsenal are by far the toughest side he’s faced, and it didn’t go to plan in the first leg.

We’re going with a 2-0 home win and Arsenal to progress to the final.
