Champions League
A busy night of Champions League and FA Cup replays with undoubtedly the big one being Inter Milan v Chelsea.
Inter Milan (7/4) Draw (21/10) Chelsea (19/10) View all odds
Live on ITV1 tonight, Chelsea visit Inter Milan in the Champions League and their old boss ‘the special one’ lies in wait. Racing Diary has previewed the game in detail and we advise that Chelsea are the team to side with. At the odds, Back Chelsea.
CSKA Moscow (15/8) Draw (23/10) Sevilla (17/10) View all odds
On Sky Sports from 5:30 a Champions League match where Seville are marginal favourites but no big investment is advised. I would suggest that LAY Moscow is the way to go to give us the draw on side.
FA Cup Replays
Stoke City v Manchester City
Manchester City will be without Carlos Tevez for the fourth successive game when they travel to Stoke for Wednesday night’s FA Cup fifth-round replay. Tevez has been in Argentina on compassionate leave following the premature birth of his baby daughter, although manager Roberto Mancini has confirmed he expects the striker to return in time for Saturday’s trip to Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League. That said City should be too strong for Stoke, but they need a good result. I would Back City to win.
Tottenham v Bolton
Spurs must win here. Bolton manager Owen Coyle will hand opportunities to a number of fringe players in the FA Cup fifth-round replay at Tottenham. I suggest Spurs will be all out to win and as such will be too string.
Aston Villa v Crystal Palace
Aston Villa have a doubt over skipper Stiliyan Petrov for Wednesday night’s FA Cup replay against Crystal Palace. At home Villa surely will win and look the bet of the night.
West Brom v Reading
Reading captain Ivar Ingimarsson is set to return for the FA Cup fifth-round replay at West Brom. If League form is an indicator West Brom should prevail here and go through.
