1
1. Arsenal to win away at PSV (Tue, 8pm)
Arsenal qualified directly to the Round of 16 of the Champions League after finishing third out of 36 in the group phase, winning six of their eight matches, losing only one and ending up just two points behind group phase winners Liverpool.
The Gunners have lost only one of their last 21 games in the league and Champions League ahead of their trip to Eindhoven on Tuesday, while the Dutch side have won only one of their last six matches in all competitions, losing three of their last four.
2. Borussia Dortmund to beat Lille at home (Tue, 8pm)
Borussia Dortmund head into their Champions League clash having just recorded back-to-back victories and with three clean sheets in a row, including a 6-0 trouncing of Union Berlin in their last home game.
Lille cross the border into Germany to take on last season's Champions League runners up having lost three of their last four games away from home and with just two wins in 90 minutes in their last nine away games, one of which came against third tier side Rouen.
3. Charlton to beat Barsnley at home (Tue, 7:45pm)
Charlton will be looking to continue their charge up the table in recent weeks on Tuesday, seeking to extend their current run of seven win in their last nine matches.
Nathan Jones' side have one of the best home records in the third tier with only two defeats from their 17 league games at the Valley, where they're unbeaten in all competitions since December and have won seven of their last eight including each of their last five.
Barnsley head to the capital having lost five of their last nine matches, a run which has put a dent in their play-off aspirations and seen them drop out of the top six into 10th place. The Tykes have lost on each of their last four trips to the Valley.
4. Reading to beat Exeter at home (Tue, 8pm)
Reading continue their bid for a top six finish tonight with a home game against a relegation battling Exeter side, with the Royals heading into the bout unbeaten in their last six games to leave them just three points off the play-off places.
In contrast, Exeter head to Berkshire with just one win in their last 11 league games, losing five of their last seven in all competitions, with the Grecians having slipped to 13th place on Boxing Day now to just three points above the relegation zone.
Reading have won each of the last three meetings between the two sides, including a 9-0 victory over the Devon side back in September 2023.
