The Blaugrana are five points behind leaders Atletico Madrid but have a game in hand and still have to face Diego Simeone’s side, meaning Barca’s title hopes are very much in their own hands.

Villarreal, meanwhile, are battling for fifth place in the table but also have a Europa League semi-final against Arsenal to look forward to on Thursday.

Villarreal vs Barcelona Latest Odds

Unai Emery’s men were roundly beaten 4-0 at Camp Nou earlier this season in one of their worst performances of the campaign, while Barca’s last trip to the province of Castellon saw them win 4-1 last July.

The Yellow Submarine are priced at 9/2 (4.50) with bet365 to record a win, while the Catalans can be backed at 4/6 (1.66) with the draw at 16/5 (4.20).

Villarreal vs Barcelona Team News

The hosts are without long-term absentee Vicente Iborra and full-back Pervis Estupinan is a doubt after missing the midweek defeat at Alaves.

Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho remain long-term absentees, as they have been for the majority of the season, whilst Martin Braithwaite and Ousmane Dembele both missed Thursday night’s 5-2 success over Getafe and will be assessed.

Villarreal vs Barcelona Preview

This fixture generally provides goals and entertainment, with the last four renewals combining for 20 goals, and Sunday’s clash should be another open encounter.

The hosts have scored in 16 of their last 17 matches in all competitions and they boast the top-scoring Spaniard in La Liga in Gerard Moreno.

In excellent form with has nine strikes in his last eight games in all competitions, the Spain forward will be vital to Villarreal’s hopes in this game.

Barca, for their part, come into the game having put five goals past Getafe with Lionel Messi scoring twice, and the visitors should be backed with confidence to score in their 12th consecutive away game in the Spanish top-flight.

Villarreal vs Barcelona Tips and Predictions

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Kane's fitness in doubt ahead of the Carabao Cup final, Al Hain-Cole is backing his team-mate to extend his strong run against the Citizens

Harry Kane will be desperate to recover from injury in time for Tottenham’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City on Sunday.

Spurs’ second all-time top scorer is yet to lift a trophy in his career so far, with only runners-up medals in the Champions League and this competition to his name.

In prolific form with 32 goals in all competitions this season, he is bet365’s 11/2 (6.50) favourite to open the scoring for his side at Wembley and priced at 7/4 (2.75) to strike anytime.

However, Ryan Mason need not completely despair should the captain fail his fitness test, with Son Heung-min proving a worthy match-winner in his absence.

The South Korea international has found the net 20 times so far this campaign and boasts a strong record against this opposition – scoring five times in the six most recent encounters.

Considering City have gone five matches without keeping a clean sheet, Son certainly looks like a good value bet at 5/2 (3.50) anytime odds on Sunday.

Gareth Bale offered a reminder of his quality as fired past Southampton after being brought in from the cold by caretaker manager Mason in midweek, and can be backed at 4/1 (5.00) to deliver on the big stage here.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola is also faced with injury issues of his own, as Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero race against time to recover for the trip to Wembley.

Nevertheless, Gabriel Jesus is a very credible backup option for this match, particularly considering his prolific record in this competition.

Having scored seven times in six Carabao Cup starts, the Brazilian striker offers decent value at 4/1 (5.00) first goalscorer and 5/4 (2.25) anytime.

Responsible for two of his side’s three goals in February’s 3-0 league win over Tottenham, Ilkay Gundogan is on offer at 7/5 (2.40) to come back to haunt them once again.

On target in three of his last five appearances, Phil Foden is another Citizens player more than capable of justifying his own 7/4 (2.75) price in what promises to be an entertaining final.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Guardiola's men not quite at their rock solid best at the back, Al Hain-Cole expects a high-scoring Carabao Cup final against Spurs at Wembley

Manchester City and Tottenham will compete for the first trophy of the English season when they meet at Wembley for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.

Pep Guardiola’s men no longer have the quadruple on the table after last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final defeat against Chelsea, although will be confident of picking up this silverware after doing so in each of the last three seasons.

Manchester City vs Tottenham Latest Odds

Indeed, they are clear 1/2 (1.50) favourites with bet365 to take home this cup for the sixth time in eight seasons by coming out on top in the capital.

In contrast to their opponents, Spurs haven’t lifted a single trophy since winning this competition back in 2008 but can be backed at 9/2 (5.50) to end their long wait by pulling off a shock win here.

Just one of the last 10 encounters between this duo has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 15/4 (4.75) on them taking this game into extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Manchester City vs Tottenham Team News

John Stones is suspended after getting sent off in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa, while Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero are both doubtful due to injury.

Harry Kane is facing a race against time as he looks to recover from an ankle injury, with Matt Doherty also a doubt and Ben Davies ruled out.

Manchester City vs Tottenham Preview

While caretaker manager Ryan Mason will obviously be desperate to have Kane leading the line, his side need not despair if he is not passed fit to make the starting line-up.

Having failed to score in just one of the last 14 fixtures, they will be fairly confident of troubling a Citizens backline that has conceded in each of the last five matches in all competitions.

What’s more, Tottenham’s record in recent encounters between the teams is fairly impressive – winning two and losing just one of the last four matches while scoring twice in three of those.

All things considered, even money (2.00) seems fairly generous on them helping to ensure goals at both ends for their fifth match in a row and a six in six for City.

Having won four of their last five home matches in all competitions, they are 4/9 (1.44) favourites with bet365 to take a major step towards Champions League qualification by coming out on top here.

Roy Hodgson’s men have won just two of their last nine fixtures but can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) to cause an upset with a shock win.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw in the reverse encounter at Selhurst Park, and you can get odds of 10/3 (4.20) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace Team News

Wesley Fofana should be fit to start after coming off in Thursday’s 3-0 win over West Brom with a minor injury, although Wes Morgan is doubtful and James Justin and Harvey Barnes both ruled out.

Gary Cahill, Connor Wickham and James McArthur will be assessed, while Wayne Hennessey, Nathan Ferguson, Nathaniel Clyne, Mamadou Sakho, James Tomkins and James McCarthy are all sidelined.

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace Preview

While successive league defeats against Manchester City and West Ham may have caused some nerves among the supporters, Brendan Rodgers’ team gave an emphatic response to any doubts over their top four credentials by easing past West Brom last week.

With Jamie Vardy back on target and Kelechi Iheanacho in prolific form, they will back themselves to secure another valuable win against an Eagles side that has kept just one clean sheet in 16 away games and conceded nine times in their last three matches.

Leicester City vs Crystal Palace Tips and Predictions

Considering Palace have only failed to find the net once in five away fixtures, odds of 13/10 (2.30) seem generous on over 2.5 goals being scored for Leicester’s sixth match in eight in an entertaining home win here.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Tuchel's men have been in imperious defensive form in Europe this season and our tipster is backing them to be involved in another low-scoring game

Real Madrid welcome Chelsea to the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Tuesday evening in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Zinedine Zidane hoping his side’s strong defensive form prevents the Blues from claiming a valuable away goal.

The La Liga champions have not conceded in their last four matches and are favourites to claim a win in the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Real are playing their ninth Champions League semi-final in the last 11 years and their only home defeat in those ties came back in 2011 against Barcelona.

Considering that strong form, Madrid be backed at 13/10 (2.30) to win with bet365 while the draw is offered at 23/10 (3.30) , and a victory for Thomas Tuchel’s side at 21/10 (3.10) .

Real Madrid vs Chelsea Team News

Eden Hazard made his return from injury at the weekend but he might not be ready to start against his former club here, whilst Sergio Ramos is also doubtful. Toni Kroos has missed Real’s last two games but should be involved, but Ferland Mendy and Fede Valverde are definitely out.

Chelsea’s only injury absentee in Mateo Kovacic, who is unavailable to face his ex-employers.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea Preview

Champions League semi-final first legs are often tight affairs and Tuesday’s encounter should be no different, especially when considering the two sides’ respect defensive records.

Los Blancos have enjoyed four consecutive clean sheets with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in some of the best form of his career, and the Belgian will surely be highly motivated when facing his former side.

Chelsea have also been incredibly solid at the back, keeping 11 clean sheets in their last 14 games in all competitions, whilst the Blues have conceded just three goals in 10 in the Champions League games this term.

Opposing a high-scoring match makes plenty of sense, with both sides likely to cancel each other out.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score ‘no’ and under 2.5 goals is priced at 11/10 (2.10) and looks an excellent selection for what looks set to be a cagey affair in the Spanish capital.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>A tight game is expected in the Spanish capital on Tuesday evening, which means backing goals from less obvious sources could be a profitable strategy

Chelsea head to the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Tuesday with Thomas Tuchel’s men hoping to claim an away goal in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.

The Blues have scored in each of their last nine away games in the competition, while Real have netted in each of their last 25 home legs of knockout ties in the tournament they have won on 13 occasions.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea Latest Goalscorer odds

The shortest-priced player to score on Tuesday evening is Karim Benzema, the man who has found the back of the net 70 times in Europe’s premier club competition.

Real Madrid’s number nine is offered at 13/10 (2.30) with bet365 in the anytime goalscorers market while he can be backed at 15/4 (4.75) to break the deadlock.

Olivier Giroud comes next in the betting at 7/4 (2.75) to find the back of the net and the Frenchman has scored in both of Chelsea’s trips to Spain this season, netting the only goal of the game at Atletico Madrid and famously racking up four in Seville.

Chelsea’s second top scorer in the tournament is Timo Werner with three strikes, and while he was vital in RB Leipzig’s run to the semi-final last season, he is yet to score in the knockout stages for the Blues.

Vinicius Junior scored twice against Liverpool in the previous round for Real Madrid can be backed at 12/5 (3.40), although he might have more trouble finding spaces in Chelsea’s watertight defence. 

Real Madrid vs Chelsea Goalscorer Tips and Predictions

Given the strong defensive form of both teams, there could be some interest in looking at potential scorers from all over the pitch.

Madrid have been reliant on Benzema this term for goals, with their second top-scorer actually being defensive midfielder Casemiro.

The Brazilian has popped up with some vital goals this term and is offered at an extremely healthy looking 6/1 (7.00) to score at any time, which should certainly be of interest for a small wager in what is expected to be a tight game.
