Both sides are in the top half of the Premiership, with Brentford four points higher. They have won their last three visits to Bournemouth. They have also won their last four away games. With an FA Cup game coming up away at West Ham, the manager will be keen to keep the winning away sequence going.

Sunderland have taken just one point from their last four Premiership games and are now only six points above Leeds in the Premiership table. The last four home games played by Leeds have seen them win two and lose two. One of those wins was against a team higher in the table than Fulham. Both defeats came against the top two teams in the Premiership. Leeds beat Sunderland the last time they welcomed them.

The home form of Wolves has taken an upturn. Having drawn with Arsenal, they followed that up with a win against Aston Villa, who are higher in the table than Liverpool.

This year, Five Thousand to One has raced twice on the all-weather. Both of those races were over six furlongs. In his first race he finished ninth, and then last time out he showed considerable improvement when finishing third. Today's race is just under five furlongs. He will probably be doing his best work towards the end of the race, so, provided he doesn't have too much ground to make up, he should be in with a chance. Today he races off the same mark as last time, with Sean Kirran retaining the ride.

Arsenal had a slight dip in away form with draws at Brentford and Wolves. Their next away match saw them take on north London rivals Tottenham, where they returned to winning ways. Brighton have won their last two games, one of which was at home, to put a nice twelve-point cushion between themselves and the relegation zone. With Man City playing Nottingham Forest tonight, Arsenal will be looking for all three points to maintain their advantage over City in the race for the title. Their last three visits to Brighton have seen Arsenal come away with two wins and one draw.

Following wins against Sunderland and Tottenham, Fulham are up to ninth in the Premiership table. West Ham remain in the relegation zone following their defeat away at Liverpool. Fulham have won three of their last four home Premiership games.

A win for Manchester City would see them move back to within two points of table-topper Arsenal while leaving Nottingham Forest one place and two points above the relegation zone. Nottingham Forest have lost their last two away Premier League games. The last thirteen home games played by Manchester City in all competitions have seen them win eleven and draw two. At the weekend Forest lost away at Brighton, so there is every chance they will suffer their fourth consecutive Premier League away loss at Man City.

In the table, Cheltenham are nine points ahead of Barrow, who have lost their last five away games. Cheltenham won their last home game and also won at Barrow earlier in the season.

Derby, who still have a chance of finishing in the play-offs, take on Sheffield Wednesday, who have already been relegated. Sheffield Wednesday have taken just one point from their last ten away Championship games. Derby have won their last two home games.

Now we are getting towards the serious end of this competition. Every chance managers will choose to play a near full-strength team. If that is the case, then their current Premiership form may come into play. In the Premiership, West Ham are currently in the relegation zone, while Brentford are seventh. Brentford have won their last four away games: three in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup. Brentford have won on their last two visits to West Ham, and in each of those games they kept a clean sheet in low-scoring matches.

Bodø/Glimt dispatched Inter Milan to reach this stage of the competition. Inter Milan were top of Serie A when they lost to Bodø/Glimt. With Sporting playing in what is probably a weaker league, there is every reason to think that Bodø/Glimt can win the first leg of this tie.

It's been nearly thirty years since Newcastle beat Barcelona. At the time of writing, Barcelona have lost their last two away games. In the Champions League, Barcelona beat Newcastle by the odd goal in three back in September last year. Since then, Newcastle have won all their Champions League home games, which were against Benfica, Athletic Bilbao, PSV, and Qaraba?.

With Manchester City already through to the next round, Real Madrid were not convincing in their win against Benfica to reach this stage of the competition. Manchester City won on their last visit to Real Madrid, which was in the first round of matches in this season's Champions League competition.

By their standards, Motherwell are having a fantastic season. They are fourth in the table, one place behind Celtic, who are not having the best of seasons. They beat Celtic when they welcomed them at the end of December. It's been over ten years since Motherwell won at Celtic. However, with the form of these two teams, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Motherwell can win.
