Suggested bet: Manchester City to win
Value bet: Manchester City to win and both teams score

Brighton v Liverpool (Sunday)

In another high-profile FA Cup tie, Liverpool take on Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Sunday. Surprisingly, it is the Seagulls who are ahead of the Reds in the league standings, sitting in sixth place with 31 points, while Jurgen Klopp’s side lie ninth in the table on 29 points. These sides met in the league earlier this month where Roberto de Zerbi’s side ran out 3-0 victors in East Sussex.

Value bet: Brighton to win and both teams to score

Girona v Barcelona (Saturday)

Barcelona return to LaLiga Santander action looking to maintain their three-point lead at the top of the table when they take on Girona at the Municipal de Montilivi stadium on Saturday.

Sevilla v Elche (Saturday)

Sevilla will be looking to continue their good run of form and continue their push up the table when they host bottom side Elche at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium on Saturday.
