It doesn’t look like Wolves are going down without a fight, and they still have eight Premier League matches to pull off the impossible. They have finally found their clinical edge in the final third in recent weeks, and managed to score twice from their four shots against Liverpool in the league. Even against their Midlands rivals Aston Villa, before that, Wolves secured a 2-0 win at Molineux, with both of their shots on target finding the back of the net. 

Brentford won 2-0 in the reverse fixture against Wolves, but the hosts were able to find good chances. They managed nine shots worth 1.27 xG, and Caoimhin Kelleher made two good saves. The Bees have been a bit inconsistent at the back in recent weeks - they conceded twice against West Ham in the FA Cup, and three times against Burnley before that.

Wolves rank top for total fouls committed in the Premier League this season, which has translated to the 5th-most yellow cards. They have played with a bit more intensity and aggression in recent weeks, meaning they have landed this selection in each of their last seven matches across all competitions. 

Wolves are averaging 2.25 cards per game in the league this season, rising to 2.59 when playing away. They have struggled on their travels this campaign, and are the only side in the English top-flight yet to record a victory. 

Matt Donohue awarded Wolves two yellow cards in the reverse fixture at Brentford, but it easily could have been more - they registered a total of 12 fouls. Stuart Attwell is at the whistle on Monday night, and he has dished out 84 yellows and two reds from his 18 Premier League matches this season.

Yerson Mosquera was absent from the last head-to-head game against Brentford, and Matt Doherty deputised at the back in his place. The 34-year-old was fouled once in that game, as he had to deal with both Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago. Brentford are averaging 10.53 fouls per 90, and those two up front have been the key culprits. 

Schade is averaging 1.61 fouls per 90 across all competitions this term, while Thiago ranks slightly higher with 1.88. That combined average increases from 3.49 fouls per 90 to 3.84 when playing at the Gtech Stadium. 

Mosquera has been much more adept at drawing free kicks than Doherty this season, which makes this market stand out. The Colombian international has drawn at least one foul in all 11 of his appearances on the road this season, and has landed this selection in seven of those.

Dango Ouattara was another player absent from the most recent meeting, as he was away at AFCON. Keane Lewis-Potter had plenty of joy out on the right wing, and he left the game with two goals under his belt. He recorded three shots, and they all hit the target, highlighting how he was able to find some excellent chances. 

Ouattara will want to emulate that performance, as he hopes to break out of a goalless rut. The 24-year-old hit the ground running after returning from AFCON, scoring in both starts against Aston Villa and Newcastle, respectively, but has since gone six appearances without finding the back of the net. 

Ouattara is averaging 1.96 shots per 90 this season, which rises to 2.28 when playing at home. Based on how Wolves have performed on their travels this season, Brentford should have plenty of chances, and Ouattara should be involved in the final third.

The initial league meeting between the sides produced four goals as the teams played out a 2-2 draw. It’s likely that we get a similar volume of goals here with Watford seeing 2+ goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions, winning two of these games.

Watford have seen 45 goals across their 18 home games in the Championship this season, working out to an average of 2.5 goals per game. Only Leicester (4) and Sheffield Wednesday (3) have kept fewer clean sheets than Watford in the Championship this term, with Watford only managing to keep six shutouts in the Championship.

Wrexham have seen 2+ goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions, winning three of these games - including a 2-0 win over rivals Swansea last time out. Wrexham have avoided defeat in 13 of their 17 away matches in the Championship this term, with these games seeing 38 goals (2.23 per game).

Leyton Orient are fighting for survival at the bottom of League One, and are playing like a side who desperately want to avoid the drop. Leyton Orient have managed to score in each of their last six matches - winning three and losing three of these games.

Despite being near the bottom of the table, Leyton Orient have managed to maintain a decent goal output - netting 49 goals across their 36 matches (1.36 per game), which is more than any of the bottom 10 sides in League One. Leyton Orient managed to score in a 3-1 defeat to Wimbledon earlier in the season, and have scored 22 goals across their 18 away games this term (1.22 per game).

Wimbledon aren’t in as much danger as Leyton Orient, but what has been a constant issue for the home side this season is keeping clean sheets. Only two sides have kept fewer clean sheets in League One this season than Wimbledon (7), with one of these sides being Leyton Orient (6).

Mikel Arteta has made Arsenal one of the toughest teams to beat at home in Europe, which is some achievement given the soft underbelly that Arsenal used to walk around with in the Champions League.

Arsenal have won 13 of their 16 home matches in the Champions League under Arteta, including all four at home this season. This has included notable victories against the likes of Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, in which Arsenal dominated and came away convincing winners.

Arsenal’s home form in the Premier League has also been very impressive with no side collecting more points at home than Arsenal in the top flight this term (38). The Gunners have won 12 of their 15 home matches in the Premier League, notably only conceding nine goals across these games.

Last week's first leg produced seven goals as PSG ran out 5-2 winners over Chelsea, and another frantic, open contest is expected at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

Chelsea are yet to find the right defensive balance under Liam Rosenior, keeping just three clean sheets in his 17 games in charge. Both teams have scored in 12 of the 14 matches where Chelsea have failed to shut out the opposition, with only Arsenal and Newcastle preventing them from scoring in that period.

PSG will be more than happy to see this game played at a high tempo; they have the attacking quality to hurt Chelsea when the game becomes stretched. That's exactly what they did in Paris last week, with Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia in particular exploiting the defensive lapses Chelsea showed in that encounter.

The nature of the tie also points towards both teams scoring. Chelsea need at least three goals to level the aggregate score, and it's hard to see them managing that without leaving significant space for PSG's dangerous frontline - a group that has already demonstrated just how clinical they can be.

Man City were picked apart by Real Madrid in the first leg, in what was a shock defeat, given that Man City were pre-match favourites. That ended an 11-game unbeaten run for Pep Guardiola’s men, who have it all to do at the Etihad on Tuesday night. 

Man City are not completely out of the contest yet, but they will have to be much better in the second leg. There will be a raucous home atmosphere at the Etihad to try and get their side over the line, but the home fans are used to seeing City win at the Etihad. Prior to their 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest, Man City had won seven consecutive games on home turf, which will give them confidence. 

They did also beat Real Madrid in the league phase earlier this season, which will also fill the hosts with belief coming into this clash.

The 2-1 scoreline at the Bernabeu in December really didn’t do them much justice, and they found no issue in carving through Los Blancos. Man City recorded 12 shots worth 2.6 xG, forcing Thibaut Courtois into six saves. 

The Belgian keeper will once again have to be on top form here, as it is likely to be one-way City traffic. Los Blancos haven’t been particularly watertight defensively, but Courtois has been reliable at the back this season, and he is averaging 4.91 saves per game in the Champions League, rising even further to 5.4 when playing away. 

City are averaging 17.5 shots per game at the Etihad, with 7.75 on target. They have forced an average of 4.13 saves per game across all competitions at home this season, rising to an eye-catching 6.5 when playing in the Champions League.

Perhaps Courtois’ best save in the first leg was to deny Nico O’Reilly, who came close after pressing Real Madrid high up the field. He initially started at left back in that match, before being pushed forward into a more advanced role following the introduction of Rayan Ait-Nouri. O’Reilly has been operating in more advanced positions recently, and he has landed this selection in each of his last seven appearances. 

In that stretch, he managed to score a brace against Newcastle in the Premier League, and he also bagged against Fulham. O’Reilly is a massive aerial threat for City, making him a target from set pieces, and he doesn’t hesitate to get into the box from open play either. The 20-year-old strikes the ball cleanly and often looks to try his luck from range. He should be able to pick up some advanced positions against Real Madrid here, which makes this price stand out. 

One of the most impressive things about Real Madrid’s victory was the fact that they did it without Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. Vinicius Junior played a massive role as the focal point for Real Madrid, and he was unfortunate not to score in the end. Real Madrid aren’t just going to sit back and take a battering at the Etihad - they will have to try and pose a threat going forward, and Vinicius will be crucial to that. 

The Brazilian international was fouled three times at the Bernabeu, meaning he is averaging 2.0 fouls drawn per 90 in the Champions League this season, and he has landed this selection in each of his last four appearances. Vinicius can thrive when he is isolated on the ball, as he is so good at drawing contact and buying cheap free kicks for his side.
