Barcelona
Out of the squad, new keeper Marc-André ter Stegen, Douglas, Sandro, Pedro, Marc Bartra, Martín Montoya and Gerard Piqué arguably have the most to gain from added minutes. Whether Lucho thinks it is necessary to instill that in his players at this point in the season is up to him. But it’s something that needs to be addressed before injuries start to make Lucho’s choices for him. Piqué’s lack of confidence against Athletic Bilbao was smellier than a rotting gazelle on the Serengeti, and any poacher of a forward worth his mettle will put as much pressure as possible on the out-of-form defender. By the same token, a rusty Adriano and Montoya could prove shaky cover for Jordi Alba at left back once his swashbuckling tendencies inevitably get him a hamstring injury.

And considering manager Giorgos Donis made off with a league and cup double last season, he certainly knows how to get the better of his opponents.Defensive veteran John Arne-Riise is perhaps the most recognizable name in the Cyprus squad, but his fitness will prevent him from taking the field. Greek central defender Anastasios Papazoglou has just returned from injury and will bolster the back line tasked with marking Barcelona’s pesky strikers.

Bayern Munchen
Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich experiment has thus far been largely characterised by a free-flowing, dynamic style that can only be praised. Yet, despite their utter dominance of German domestic football, there can be no mistaking that Champions League glory is the ultimate prize for the Bavarian giants. They seem likely to miss the talismanic figure of Arjen Robben this week due to injury, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thiago Alcantara are also set to miss the action. Javi Martinez is also unavailable, which will almost certainly necessitate the inclusion of Xabi Alonso in the holding role alongside Lahm.

Manuel Pellegrini will be banned from the touchline on Wednesday following comments he made in the wake of their Champions League exit to Barcelona last season. Pablo Zabaleta is also suspended, which will see the vastly experienced figure of Bacary Sagna charged with the unenviable task of marking Franck Ribery. I’m certain that Pellegrini will opt for one striker up front, considering the talent at Munich’s disposal. Fernandinho and Toure will offer a muscular force in midfield, while Pellegrini would be wise to utilise the electrifying pace of Navas on the counterattacks.

Newcastle United vs Queens Park Rangers

Home - Newcastle United
Last away matches - W-W-W-D-L-W

Under-fire Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew must have been disappointed that the international break has disrupted his side’s amazing turnaround in form, but they host second from bottom club Queens Park Rangers at St James’ Park this afternoon as they bid to make it five Premier League wins on the trot. Newcastle are unbeaten in their last five, while they’ve won their last four on the bounce with victories over Leicester City, Tottenham, Liverpool and West Brom as The Magpies have eased away from the bottom three and now sit in the relative comfort of 8th place just two points adrift of Swansea City who currently occupy the last remaining european spot.

Away - Queens Park Rangers
Last away matches - L-L-L-L-L-L

Visitors QPR have won just once in their last eight Premiership matches and that was a 2-0 home win over struggling Aston VIlla at Loftus Road. But Rangers recent form has been generally poor with five defeats during this spell although their point at home against a decidedly off-colour Manchester City will have given Harry Redknapp's boys a boost going into the international break. On the road, QPR have quite simply been very poor as they've lost all five of their away matches so far with an overall record of 0-0-5 2/14.

Manchester City vs Swansea City

Home - Manchester City
Last away matches - D-L-D-W-W-L

Manchester Ciy will not want to fall victims to Swansea who have already managed a victory in Manchester this season and will be looking to claim another big scalp on their travels. Manchester City have had some difficult matches and no doubt that boss Manuel Pellegrini has been under pressure of late. It has not been smooth sailing for Champions Manchester City. Still they are even one point better off at this stage than they were at this point last season. Manchester City have won just the one game in their last six in all competitions, but do have a strong home record against Swansea going into this match. Manuel Pellegrini's side have won 11 and lost only one of their thirteen previous home games against Swansea, so they do start this match as the favourites. When the sides met last season Manchester City came out as 3-0 winners. For the record, Manchester City have won four and lost just one of the last six Premier League matches against Swansea. Under Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City have lost just the two and won 20 of their 24 Premier League matches at the Etihad Stadium.

Away - Swansea City
Last away matches - D-L-L-D-L-W

Swansea no doubt that Garry Monk has managed to guide them to their best ever start to a Premier League season, having collected 18 points from 11 matches to date. They are coming into this match after beating Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium coming from behind to register the win. That is the second big scalp they have claimed this season because they also took out Manchester United on the opening weekend of the season. However, that win at Old Trafford has been their only away win of the season and after that they have gone W0 D2 L2 away from home. Their best bet to score will no doubt be Wilfried Bony.

CSKA Moscow vs AS Roma

Home - CSKA Moscow
Last away matches - L-L-W-D-W-W

CSKA Moscow, after defeating Manchester City in the last round, have now realistic chances of progressing to the next round. Russian champions started this CL campaign poorly (with 1:5 defeat against Roma), but now things are looking more brightly for them. “In the first match we had problems dealing with their attackers. Therefore there is no point in just singling out Francesco Totti. As you know, we are not playing against individuals. We will analyze the way Roma play and our coach will have his input,” said defender Aleksei Berezutski. He was also asked if weather conditions will help his side to get a win: “Every single time there are the same questions that clubs from southern countries hate the cold. Some teams like Porto come here and see snow for the first time. That said, it has not really helped us in the past.” Coach Leonid Slutsky remains optimistic, despite the fact that CSKA have some missings for this game: “We have a good chance of qualifying from the group and we need to make the most of this opportunity. We have problems in midfield, but we’ll try to solve them. The loss of Bebras Natcho is a blow and tonight we will know if Pontus Wernbloom will be able to play. We know from our first match against Roma that they are a very strong side. Tomorrow's game will show if we have learned from our mistakes.”

Away - AS Roma
Last away matches - W-L-L-D-L-D

AS Roma are equal on points with CSKA. They also have problems with injuries, especially in the defense. Both right-backs, Maicon and Vasilis Torosidis, are out. 19-year-old Michele Somma can feature in this match, he made his debut a couple of days ago in a game against Atalanta. Other option is moving Alessandro Florenzi to defense. Because Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Leandro Castán are sidelined as well, Italians have just two central defenders available for this encounter: Kostas Manolas and Davide Astori. It’s also expected that Jose Holebas will play as left-back, instead of Ashley Cole. Again, players were asked about weather conditions: “Of course, the weather affects the preparation for the game. But in my career I have played many times in difficult conditions. We specifically chose the evening to train today to get used to the weather. However, we will have the same weather conditions to cope with as our opponents,” said Morgan De Sanctis.

BATE Borisov vs Porto

Home - BATE Borisov
Last away matches - L-W-D-W-W-D

Despite the fact that BATE have already conceded 19 goals in the Champions League they still have mathematical chances of progressing to the next round. BATE also have a good chance of at least 3rd place finish which would allow them to play in the Europa League in the spring. But anyway, their morale isn’t high after suffering from 3 high defeats in group H. “The Belarusian league and the UEFA Champions League's levels are a little bit different. It is not right to compare them. Anyway, we have our last home game tomorrow in the competition and we have to make our fans happy with our display and result, hopefully,” said midfielder Edgar Olekhnovich. Coach Aleksandr Yermakovich is clearly disappointed with heavy defeats against Shakhtar Donetsk and 0:6 loss against FC Porto around two months ago: “I believe that the 6:0, 7:0 and 5:0 results do not correspond with the real difference in level between our teams. I believe we could have played better. I believe we can take points against such teams.

Away - Porto
Last away matches - D-W-W-D-D-D

FC Porto have already qualified to the next round. They have a good chance of finishing 1st, but in order to do that Porto should get a win against BATE, otherwise probably they would have to defeat Shakhtar in the last group match. In comparison with the last league match against Estoril, Tello is back to match squad. He missed the mentioned league encounter due to some muscular problems. There are speculations that striker Jackson Martinez may join Tottenham in the upcoming transfer window, however English side will firstly need to sell Roberto Soldado, cause Martinez has a release clause of 35mln euro and it won’t be possible to get him any cheaper.

Zenit St. Petersburg vs Benfica

Home - Zenit St. Petersburg
Last away matches - W-L-D-W-W-W

Zenit had excellently started the Champions League right with a victory in Lisbon, which created a very favourable situation for the continuation of the competition. However, as the competition progressed Zenit played weaker and weaker when came a home draw with Monaco, which was followed by two defeats by Bayer, so are now in a rather awkward situation and have to win this match, if they want to have a manuverable space in the last round to play tactics.It seems that Zenit right at home have major problems as they failed at both CL matches so far and they play somewhat weaker both in the championship and the Cup in recent time. They have been eliminated from the Cup, while in the championship other rivals also made mistakes so are still the leaders with eight points advantage of the second in the standings. They defeated unpleasant Kuban on Saturday by a minimal result of 1-0. Zenit have no bigger problems with injuries so the strongest team will surely run out on the pitch.

Away - Benfica

On the other hand, Benfica play better and better after the opening shock caused by Zenit. They lost in the second round in Leverkusen but then they finally put the things together and finished two matches against Monaco with a clean sheet. They played away 0-0, while in the last round at home they were breaking the opponents resistance for a long time but eight minutes before the end they had scored the winning goal. That has practically left them in the game for the Round of 16 but now they must make a good result in this match, which would allow them to find out what is their destiny in the last round when will face Bayer at home.In the championship had won two times in a row, alongside the victory in the Cup and hold the leading position. On Saturday they had routinely defeated Moreirense by 4-1, and it is interesting that Jonas and Salvio had scored two goals each, who also decided the match of the previous round against Nacional. Silvio, Fejsa and Amorim are out of action due to injuries and Lima had not played in the Cup, so that starting lineup is quite certain.

Last away matches - L-W-W-L-W-L

Arsenal form against German opposition has not been the best as well. The last time they beat Dortmund was back in November 2011 and that put them in a six match winning streak against Bundesliga sides. However, since then, Arsenal have lost their last four in a row against German teams. Arsenal hold a W9 D1 L5 home record against German clubs, and overall that is W14 D6 L11. This will be the third time in four seasons that Arsenal have been paired with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Early in the group on match day one, Dortmund cruised to a 2******0 win over Arsenal.

Away - Borussia Dortmund
Last away matches - D-L-W-W-L-W

Borussia Dortmund comes into this match having already qualified and while Arsenal looks set to follow them, Dortmund holds the advantage of winning the group as they face each other at The Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. Finishing second (again) could cost Arsenal a lot especially when you consider that they could face bigger teams when it comes to the draw for the last 16. A draw is enough to send Arsenal through to the knockout phase however. Arsenal are currently five points behind Borussia Dortmund in the group after their slip ups in the group stage. The Gunners have put up a poor D1 L2 record in their last three games in all competitions. It came about after the 3******3 draw against Anderlecht, where Arsenal blew a three goal lead after the sixty minute mark. That result pretty much handed the advantage to Dortmund to lead the group.

Basel couldn’t await this match in much better form, as the team comes from fifth consecutive victory without a goal conceded, coming from a 3:0 home victory over Aarau last weekend. Gashi scored two, Embolo added third for clearly fair and deserved victory for Basel in front of very important Champions League game.With this victory, they kept the first position and continued race with second placed Zurich, as the team now has two points more than them – side that will be their only rival in the title race obviously. As for the Champions League, team has a great chance to get through to the second phase, as they are currently at the second place with three points more than Liverpool and Ludogorets. Central defender Ivanov already counts as a long term absentee, while the hosts also miss striker Streller, with midfielders Giovanni Sio and Taulant Xhaka both being doubtful. Breel Embolo is expected to lead the attack in absence of Streller.

But it’s something that needs to be addressed before injuries start to make Lucho’s choices for him. Piqué’s lack of confidence against Athletic Bilbao was smellier than a rotting gazelle on the Serengeti, and any poacher of a forward worth his mettle will put as much pressure as possible on the out-of-form defender.

FC Zurich vs Apollon Limassol FC

Last away matches - W-W-L-W-L-W

Zurich takes on Apollon Limasol in a match, that will decide who of the two clubs will keep their small chances of making it to the next round, having in mind that they are currently third and fourth in their group and are behind the two big favorites in the group Villarreal and Monchengladbach, who are heading against each other for the first place in the same time. But having in mind mainly that the draw will not suit both sides in this fixture and overall the really high scoring matches in that group so far, I think that in this game in Switzerland we will see a high scoring match yet again and three goals is the least that those two will manage to score. Zurich managed to take a great victory with 3:2 at home against Villarreal in the last round of the Europa League and with those three points they had managed to keep their small chances of making it to the next round, but one thing here is certain and that is that with eventual three points in that match against Apollon, they will surely be in the battle for one of the top two places before the last round, when they have a really tough visit in Monchengladbach.

Last away matches - W-L-L-L-W-W

Apollon Limasol have the same option as their opponent, as right now they are on fourth place in the table, just one single point behind Zurich and only the three points here will suit them and will keep their chances of making it to the next round and they just have nothing to lose here, before the final game against Villarreal at home in two weeks time. Just like Zurich, a whole three of the four games of Apollon so far in the campaign had ended with at least three goals in them, as the average in those matches was exactly four goals.

Wolfsburg had a great run of eight wins in a row, which was then closed on the last Saturday by the defeat in Gelsenkirchen. No one expects the wolves in the first 20 minutes would collect three goals. But they are obviously somewhat exhausted and the many appearances of course, had left traces. There is of course no stigma against Schalke lose, especially since the wolves came back into the game after conceding three goals conceded again and had even brought almost a draw at the end. In this game, Rodriguez was again left outside it, as he is now back questionable. Probably coach Hecking it will save for the big match against Borussia Monchengladbach. Also Guilavogui and Vierinho complain of injury. They will miss this game against Everton unlikely. Junior Malanda, Hunt and perhaps Bendtner should be in the starting lineup. Maybe Arnold and recovered ox will accrue.

Everton look more comfortably than in Wolfsburg, because the team has a point and even a home game in the last round more. But the players from Everton also already very tired and could lead to certain changes in the starting lineup. Today's guests have a positive series and although they have not lost in seven games. They have cashed in two months or since the away match against Manchester United in early October no defeat. However, they have not only won because they have the same number of draws and wins. When this series is continued, then now is a draw on the series, as they defeated West Ham last weekend at home. This long unbeaten run has helped them but not a great deal to make progress table as part of the Premier League. Currently they are in fact third in the table. Many players are injured not there, but Everton has yet ready enough good players. The starting lineup has played the last championship game, but suffer certain changes.

That was away in Rijeka, while the host today at home against the same opponents and have previously brought against standard EL victories. Most recently, they achieved a championship run of six wins and a draw. As a result, they have climbed to the fourth position of the Eredivisie table and now this El duel against the leading group team Sevilla take very good mood. An eventual victory against the Andalusians they would catapult namely on the first place in the group, while, away could act fairly relaxed with standard in the last round.

The loss last weekend saw Hull City slip to just one place above the relegation zone and they are now just 1 point ahead of Leicester City and Burnley, while another point clear of bottom placed Queens Park Rangers. Surprisingly, Hull City have a better away record than at home so far this season where they are 1******3******2 this season, scoring 6 goals and conceding 7. Hull City have now won just 1 of their last 11 games in all competitions and they have failed to win any of their last 5 games. To make matters worse, Hull have lost 3 in a row but going to Old Trafford shouldn't hold too much fear considering they have drawn at Arsenal and Liverpool this season although their most recent away game saw Hull defeated by Burnley. Gaston Ramirez is suspended and Abel Hernandez has been given a leave of absence from the team and is expected to return next weekend.

Atletico Madrid managed to win a couple of days ago home match against Olympiacos Piraeus in the UEFA Champions League (4:0), as a result Diego Simeone’s men have already reached promotion to the next stage of those competitions. Hero of that game was Mario Mandzukic, who scored a hattrick. Recently he was becoming criticized by some people, however with this great performance Mandzukic showed that he’s a top-class footballer. In total, he has now 11 goals scored for a team from Vicente Calderon. Also Raul Garcia scored a goal in the match against Olympiakos. It was a special game for him as he made his 66th appearance for Atletico in European competitions. By doing that he equaled record of Adelardo Rodriguez, one of club’s biggest legends. “I think Adelardo’s achievement was better than mine, at those times there weren’t so many games as nowadays. Most important thing is the team. We are now not thinking about anything else but win against Juventus. We want to top our group and we’ll go to Italy in order to win,” said Raul Garcia. “He reminds me in some way. I want him to play as many matches as possible. He deserves only the best things. Raul Garcia is a complete player, he can play on many different positions,” said Adelardo Rodriguez. Captain Gabi is suspended for the match against Deportivo, whereas Miranda and Tiago are injured.

Deportivo La Coruna are struggling and now comes a tough match for them at Vicente Calderon. “As always, we are aiming for a win.

We must be very focused in a game against Atletico. It’s a very strong side, with quality midfield and very good defense. Simeone makes their players being concentrated for entire match. I want to play, I feel well with 4 defenders as well as with 5,” said goalkeeper Fabricio. Visitors have some absences as Lopo is suspended, whereas Lucas Perez and Luis Farina injured. Deportivo will play probably very defensively. Last weekend, against Real Sociedad, they did better after the break when offensive midfielder Juan Dominguez was replaced by defensive midfielder Cezary Wilk. Deportivo may use formation with 3 central defenders in this game.

Sevilla doesn’t play as it used to and it is now clear, because they played three matches and haven’t won, while they won just once in the last five matches. They started well and even shared the first places, while in the Europa League had kept the situation under control. The situation now is a bit different, although they the situation under control when the place in the knockout phase is in question. It is a question is this crisis or a reality, given that several important players have left Sevilla and it wasn’t expected to be so good in La Liga.Besides, they played away matches in Bilbao and Barcelona and it was no wonder that they lost, so the only problem remains the draw at home with Levante. They lost an away match of the Europa League on Thursday to Feyenoord and now must stay undefeated in the last round against Rijeka. It shouldn’t be a problem, but before that they should win this match in order to break with the negative series. They have no bigger problems with absenteeism and only Coke is missing because of yellow cards while Iborra is injured.

Last away matches - D-D-L-L-W-D

There is no doubt in Granada that are in a crisis because this team play poorly for a long time, so can be happy that are not already in the relegation zone. They are particularly bad at home, but are not much better when play away. The last time they won was more than two months ago and it happened in Bilbao when no one expected it. After that they hosted Levante and it was supposed to be a continuation of good series but instead they lost and since then only occasionally succeed to draw. The only one worth mentioning is the one in Vigo with Celta and without goals, because if Granada footballers concede one then they usually lose.The reason is chronic inefficiency, so the team on average score one at every second match. They are by far the most inefficient team in the entire league, which is quite odd given the individual quality of this team. In the last round they drew with Almeria 0-0, although they had a player more on the pitch for almost the complete second half. On top of it, midfielder Rochina has injured and he will skip this match, while stopper Murillo is questionable.

Yet, despite their utter dominance of German domestic football, there can be no mistaking that Champions League glory is the ultimate prize for the Bavarian giants. They seem likely to miss the talismanic figure of Arjen Robben this week due to injury, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thiago Alcantara are also set to miss the action. Javi Martinez is also unavailable, which will almost certainly necessitate the inclusion of Xabi Alonso in the holding role alongside Lahm.

Manuel Pellegrini will be banned from the touchline on Wednesday following comments he made in the wake of their Champions League exit to Barcelona last season. Pablo Zabaleta is also suspended, which will see the vastly experienced figure of Bacary Sagna charged with the unenviable task of marking Franck Ribery. I’m certain that Pellegrini will opt for one striker up front, considering the talent at Munich’s disposal. Fernandinho and Toure will offer a muscular force in midfield, while Pellegrini would be wise to utilise the electrifying pace of Navas on the counterattacks.

Last away matches - W-L-D-L-D-L

In their last game, a late Danny Ings penalty rescued a point for Burnley after Joe Cole scored his first goal for Aston Villa in a 1-1 draw. Sean Dyche’s men ended their wait for a first top-flight win three rounds ago at home to Hull and went one better away to Stoke, thus securing back-to-back victories for the first time since their return to the elite. Danny Ings’ brace steered Burnley to victory at the Britannia and the England Under-21 striker will be aiming for a third win on the bounce – a result which would see the Lancashire club leapfrog Tuesday’s opponents and climb out of the relegation zone

The Magpies are in their best form of the season, although they have lost at West Ham United. Aaron Cresswell scored his first Premier League goal as West Ham moved up to fifth in the table with victory over 10-man Newcastle. Captain Moussa Sissoko was shown two yellows in the space of 46 seconds. Their best chances fell to Ayoze Perez whose two efforts went a foot wide. Both those shots were in the first half which was a drab spectacle. It seemed impossible just a few weeks ago, but Newcastle appears set to challenge for a European football spot for next season. The club currently sit in 8th position in the table. Newcastle United beat Queens Park Rangers at home thanks to a second-half goal by Moussa Sissoko. The club will be looking for their sixth victory in Premier League.

Leicester City vs Liverpool

Home - Leicester City
Last away matches - L-L-L-L-L-W

Leicester were beaten 3-2 at QPR on Saturday and they dropped down to the bottom of the table for the first time this season. It’s now eight league games without a win and six of those matches ended in defeat alongside draws at home to fellow strugglers Burnley and Sunderland. The two goals they scored at Loftus Road at the weekend ended a run of five without finding the net but you have to go back to the early stages of the season to find the positives. Leicester took eight points from their first five matches including a 5-3 home win over Manchester United and draws at home to Everton (2-2) and Arsenal (1-1). Another former Inter player is the key man for the Foxes. Esteban Cambiasso will be vital if Leicester are to succeed in the battle for the midfield with Liverpool. The signing of the Argentine was a huge coup for Leicester because of his huge reputation, ability , and experience. Cambiasso can help Leicester against Liverpool’s string midfield. The former Inter man has averaged three interceptions per 90 minutes, two clearances per 90 minutes, has completed 76% of his passes, and has not made a single defensive error all season. The experience of the Argentine could be vital for the foxes in this match.

Away - Liverpool
Last away matches - D-L-L-L-W-L

Liverpool edged out Stoke City at Anfield on Saturday, a 1-0 win ending their own baron sequence of six games without victory (all competitions). They are still no higher than mid table and their away record in the Premier League comprises of two wins and four defeats. When visiting the clubs who are quite likely to be involved in the relegation battle with Leicester, Liverpool have won 3-2 at QPR and lost 3-1 at Crystal Palace. Five of their six road trips have seen backers of over 2.5 goals collect with a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle bucking the trend.Liverpool have been inconsistent and unpredictable this season. They have not been convincing all season and, without Daniel Sturridge, have no star goalscorers. That said, Leicester have really struggled and it is tough to see them winning this one. While I could see this finishing level, I’m going to go with a Liverpool win to make it two wins on the bounce for Liverpool.

Manchester United vs Stoke City

Home - Manchester United
Last away matches - W-L-D-L-D-L

Manchester United go into their second home game in four days with a renewed sense of self-belief and confidence following an excellent win against Hull City, and Tuesday’s visit of Stoke City should see a continuation of the great form that has seen Louis van Gaal’s side win their last three Premier League games. Stoke will arrive at Old Trafford fresh from a disappointing defeat at Anfield where they were arguably the better side against Liverpool. Make no mistake, Stoke will pose a significant counter-attacking threat and have already won in Manchester this season; beating Manchester City 1-0 at the Etihad in August. Much has been made of the extensive injury problems at Manchester United this season, but Stoke will have problems of their own going in to the game on Tuesday night. Glen Whelan and Steve Sidwell will both miss the game following injuries they picked up at Anfield, leaving them a little stretched in terms of midfield options. Going forward they will try to once again exploit the pace of former United player Mame Biram Diouf, but the absence of Victor Moses weakens their counter-attacking threat that has won them praise in previous weeks.

Barcelona
Out of the squad, new keeper Marc-André ter Stegen, Douglas, Sandro, Pedro, Marc Bartra, Martín Montoya and Gerard Piqué arguably have the most to gain from added minutes. Whether Lucho thinks it is necessary to instill that in his players at this point in the season is up to him. But it’s something that needs to be addressed before injuries start to make Lucho’s choices for him. Piqué’s lack of confidence against Athletic Bilbao was smellier than a rotting gazelle on the Serengeti, and any poacher of a forward worth his mettle will put as much pressure as possible on the out-of-form defender. By the same token, a rusty Adriano and Montoya could prove shaky cover for Jordi Alba at left back once his swashbuckling tendencies inevitably get him a hamstring injury.

With a Cyprus Supercup and two victories in the first two rounds of the Cypriot Championship in the back pocket, APOEL is off to a usual good start. And considering manager Giorgos Donis made off with a league and cup double last season, he certainly knows how to get the better of his opponents.Defensive veteran John Arne-Riise is perhaps the most recognizable name in the Cyprus squad, but his fitness will prevent him from taking the field. Greek central defender Anastasios Papazoglou has just returned from injury and will bolster the back line tasked with marking Barcelona’s pesky strikers.

Arsenal vs Southampton

Home - Arsenal
Last away matches - W-L-W-W-L-W

Arsenal FC have been wildly unpredictable this season. Just as it looks like they are in full crisis mode, they string together impressive results. And just as it looks like they are in top form, they disappoint with a limp effort. This teeter-totter play will have the stress levels of thousands of Gunner fans soaring, and one wonders if they won’t suffer another letdown after a strong week. While they did fall to Manchester United for their first PL home defeat in their last 24 matches, they admittedly played rather well in that match and arguably should’ve taken a share of the points. But those woes have been left behind as unlikely hero Yaya Sanogo scored his first competitive goal for Arsenal in their 2:0 Champions League triumph over Borussia Dortmund, and last weekend saw Danny Welbeck get back on track against West Brom as his lone-goal match winner sealed all 3 points for the North Londoners. Now they enter the midweek in 6th place with a chance to further propel themselves up the table. However, they come up against a very good Southampton team that has already eliminated the hosts from the Capital One Cup this season, and while we suspect the tables will be turned here in league action, the going won’t be easy for Arsene Wenger and his men. But it must be noted that in Laurent Koscielny’s first game back from injury, they earned their 4th clean sheet of the season.

Away - Southampton
Last away matches - D-W-W-L-W-W

Southampton FC have come back down to earth a bit after their flying start to the season, and it’s starting to look as if talk of a potential top 5 finish was rather premature. A limp 1:1 draw with Aston Villa was a bit disappointing considering the Villains were without arguably their top 3 players as well as their top 3 centre-backs. They followed that up last time out with a 0:3 defeat at home to Manchester City. They conceded more goals in that match than they had all season at the St. Mary’s Stadium, and confidence will surely have taken a hit as the players question whether they are legitimate top 5 contenders or not. However, they still sit in 3rd place and are very much a threat to the traditional top clubs. They have already knocked Arsenal out of the Capital One Cup this season behind a blistering rocket of a goal from breakout right-back Nathaniel Clyne. The Englishman should be able to give the Gunners problems down the flank, especially considering both Arsenal left-backs are dealing with knocks and likely won’t be at 100%. Nevertheless, striker Graziano Pelle has cooled off a bit since a patch of torrid form, and considering the fact that they will be facing a revenge-minded Arsenal side, the Saints may not have enough firepower to avoid their second consecutive defeat.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur

Home - Chelsea
Last away matches - D-W-W-D-W-D

Cesc Fabregas along with Diego Costa has been the best summer signing this season and his partnership with his compatriot has been one of the reasons for Chelsea being at the top of the table. Even though the Brazil-born striker will miss out on Wednesday, the former Arsenal midfielder will be looking to exploit a nervy Tottenham backline as they try to repel wave after wave of Chelsea pressure. Fabregas has is one half of the best central midfield partnerships this season along with Nemanja Matic and has already bagged a league highest 10 assists in only 13 games, well on his way to break Thierry Henry’s record of 20 assists in 2002/03. With an 89.4% passing accuracy in the league Fabregas has dominated games with his intelligence and movement, creating 43 chances for his teammates along the way, an average of 3.3 per game. He has completed 989 passes this season and will be looking to playing against Spurs, something that he relished during his time with the Gunners.

Away - Tottenham Hotspur
Last away matches - W-W-W-L-D-D

The Danish international has netted two goals in his last two Premier League appearances and is finally starting to show signs of the tremendous potential he was touted as having from his Ajax days in the past few weeks. With five goals in the league so far, he is Tottenham’s second highest goal scorer behind Nacer Chadli. The 22-year-old has created 25 chances for his teammates though he is yet to get an assist, while registering a pass accuracy of 83.6% and a shot accuracy of 53%. He was also monumental in his side’s 2-1 win over Everton with his defensive work down the left flank, and would be required to do more of the same against the likes of Fabregas to help out his midfield that will be stretched on Wednesday.
