Tuesday's football highlights include two more first-leg matches from the last 16 of the Champions League, as well as the Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium between Manchester City and Brentford.
Inter Milan against Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund's trip to PSV Eindhoven will garner much of the attention across Europe, while domestically City's clash with the Bees runs alongside games from the Championship, League One and League Two.
Bet of the day
Manchester City to win and both teams to score versus Brentford - 17/10
Manchester City and Brentford will lock horns for the second time in the space of just 15 days and like their meeting at the Gtech Community Stadium on February 5th, both teams are expected to find the back of the net in a City victory.
That 3-1 success for City in west London was part of an 11-match winning run for Pep Guardiola's side, although that sequence ended following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
However, that draw is not expected to set the Citizens back too much and they should return to winning ways in this one, although with just one clean sheet to their name across their last five matches, they are liable to concede.
Brentford have proven they have the tools to hurt City - they triumphed home and away against the treble winners last season - and the Bees have scored in 10 matches on the spin, although only two of those have ended in victory.

Special of the day
Bet Builder: Inter Milan to win, both teams to score (No) and Marcus Thuram to score any time - 5/1
Inter Milan will head into the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid at the Giuseppe Meazza in blistering form, as they are on an eight-match winning run across all competitions, putting four past Roma and Salernitana in their last two games.
Atletico were 5-0 winners over Las Palmas in La Liga on Saturday, but that victory came on home soil and they have won just three of their last 11 away from Civitas Metropolitano.
The formbook suggests Inter should win this and they can also triumph to nil given they have kept eight clean sheets in their last 10 on home soil.
The final part of this Bet Builder is for Inter forward Marcus Thuram to get on the scoresheet.
The France international has netted in his last two matches and has four goals since the turn of the year.
Long shot of the day
Cambridge to beat Bolton - 27/10
Cambridge eased their League One relegation concerns with an emphatic 4-0 win at Carlisle on Saturday and they can build on that success when they host high-flying Bolton.
Bolton sit third in the standings, three points off the automatic promotion positions, but they have won just two of their six away matches in league and cup since the turn of the year.
With Cambridge having accumulated 25 of their 38 points on home soil this season, this could be another tricky away day for Ian Evatt's Trotters, whose two previous visits to the Cledara Abbey Stadium in League One have yielded just one point and no goals.
