Headline: Top of the table clash could decide outcome of the league
Manchester City can move a step close to catching up to Arsenal and taking first spot in the Premier League if they beat the Gunners at home tonight in a key top of the table clash. More details at www.soccer6.co.za
M1 Getafe vs Almeria: Both clubs sit just above the LaLiga relegation zone so will see this as a chance to take themselves away from danger zone.
M2 Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion: Forest have lost their last four matches. Brighton could yet fashion a top six finish and book a place in European club competition next season.
M3 St. Gallen vs Lugano: St Gallen will be looking to end a run of nine matches without a win. Lugano are only two points off second place in the Swiss league.
M4 Chelsea vs Brentford: Chelsea have lost four in a row as they slide down the table. Brentford won 4-1 last season in a shock triumph at Stamford Bridge.
M5 West Ham United vs Liverpool: West Ham’s nine match unbeaten run has seen a change in fortunes in recent weeks while Liverpool are still hunting Champions League football next season.
M6 Inter Milan vs Juventus: Return match in the Italian Cup semi-final after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
M7 Manchester City vs Arsenal: Man City have beaten the Gunners twice already this season -- both times away in the FA Cup and the league.
M8 Sheffield United vs West Brom Albion: Five wins in their last six Championship matches puts the Blades on the brink of automatic qualification. West Brom need the points to get into the promotion playoffs.
M9 Celta Vigo vs Elche: Celta have collected two points from their past four LaLiga fixtures. Five successive defeats leaves bottom placed Elche virtually condemned to relegation.
M10 Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona: Rayo have proven a bogey side for Barca of late with a goalless draw at Barcelona in their last encounter, preceded by 1-0 wins home and away for Rayo last season.
Suggested permutation:
