Arsenal – Newcastle
Both teams will met 2nd time within a week. In previous cup game after 90’ there was a draw, into Today’s match guests shouldn’t have the same kind of luck. Arsenal treats more seriously league completions than cups. Also Newcastle previous game lost with red lantern – Sheffield Utd, playing second half in 10 players after red card for Fraser. Today probably we also won’t see Jamal Lewis and Federico Fernandez.

From the other hand there is a hospital into Celtic team, missing players are Abd Elhamed, Ajer, Ajeti Al, Bain, Barkas, Brown, Christie, Edouard, Elyounoussi, Forrest, Griffiths, Jullien, Klimala, Ntcham. We could see in previous Celtic games missing team spirit, trainer first choice is sending healthy players to play.
Cardiff – Norwich
Cardiff cannot find right form and shape, including cups and league. As a confirmation of this form is lost with last team into league – Wycombe 2:1. Into hosts squad we also won’t see the best striker – Moor additionally Morrison, Osei-Tutu, Tomlin, Vassell are out . From the opposite side Norwich is in good form, won in cups with Coventry and league with Barnsley.
Hoffenheim – Arminia Bielefeld
Arminia is looking better, last game won with Herta 1:0. Despite of missing 2 players (Niemann, Voglsammer), they should overcome and as a minimum will not lose with weakened Hoffenheim. Hosts will play without couple of important players: Akpoguma, Baumgartner, Bicakcic, Geiger, Grillitsch, Hubner, Kaderabek, Skov, Stafylidis. Additionally into last 2 matches they looked really poor – lost with Schelke 4:0 and Frierburg 1:3.
Montpellier – Monaco
Both teams are going in opposite direction, Montpellier without win from 5 matches, in poor shape, last draw with weak Nantes 1:1. Into Today’s game cannot count on Mavididi, Savanier. From the other side Nicko Kovac’s high-flying team, easy won with Angers 3:0, previously 2:5 won with Lorient, without any weaknesses into this game. Additional – empty stadium will not help host team.
Bournemouth – Millwall
Bournemouth can jump on 2nd table position in case of winning. They have couple of arguments for that: last 2 won matches – into Cup and won with Stoke. Millwall looks to be in different shape, despite of cup won, into league they lost with Coventry 1:2 in a bad style, also lost defender Wallace. Into Today’s game we cannot probably see also Connor Mahoney and Billy Mitchell.
