Neither side wanted this replay but Manchester City will again be favourites to advance when they host Championship promotion hopefuls Huddersfield on Wednesday.

City didn’t play at the weekend due to the EFL Cup final and Pep Guardiola’s side will be well rested for this match even if changes are made to their usual starting XI.

Guardiola’s side are unbeaten in their last seven matches and have only lost one game at home all season. They should really win this match comfortably.

Manchester City – Ilkay Gündogan and Gabriel Jesus are the only players sidelined for Manchester City, who will be well rested having not featured at the weekend.

Vincent Kompany was meant to play in the first fixture involving these two before pulling out due to injury and the replay may come too soon as he enters the final stage of his rehab.

Real Madrid battled back from two goals down against Villarreal to win 3-2 at the weekend, with Zinedine Zidane’s men cutting it very fine in recent La Liga fixtures.

Los Blancos have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last five competitive games, and will be feeling the effects of playing consecutive Wednesdays and weekends. NaijaBet.com

Las Palmas have lost their last four consecutive La Liga matches, and a trip to Santiago Bernabeu doesn’t look set to rectify their poor form.

Team News

Real Madrid – Raphael Varane is still an absentee with a muscle injury, which could see Nacho or Pepe figure at centre-back for the home side.

Isco is expected to get a start for the home side, after doing well off the bench against Villarreal, but Karim Benzema should be preferred to Alvaro Morata up top.

Gareth Bale picked up a knock on Sunday night, but the Welshman is expected to be given another chance to get back to match fitness.

Las Palmas – Mauricio Lemos and Aythami will battle it out to start at centre-back, depending on whether Quique Setien wants to be more conservative or not.

Jese should be deployed on the right-hand side, with Kevin-Prince Boateng continuing as the main focal points of the Las Palmas attack.

Tana and Hernan could partner Vicente Gomez in midfield, with Roque Mesa set to play a vital role at the base of the visiting midfield.

How will this Match end?

Barcelona required a late Lionel Messi goal to earn them three points in their last two La Liga games, scraping 2-1 victories over both Leganes and Atletico in the process.

Luis Enrique still remains under pressure in the Camp Nou dug-out, but after temporarily going top last weekend, albeit having played two games more than Real Madrid, there is still title hope for Blaugrana.

The visitors will have one eye on their weekend match against Deportivo, after taking four points from their last available nine in La Liga as they try to battle the drop. Place bet and Win big on NaijaBet.com

Barcelona – Lucas Digne and Jordi Alba will battle it out to start at left-back, as Jeremy Mathieu is now out injured with ligament damage.

Luis Enrique should opt for a back four, rather than his different tactical plan for the Atletico Madrid game, with Samuel Umtiti and Gerard Pique remaining at centre-back.

Fiorentina are a long way off potential a potential European qualification spot and any hopes of making the Champions League next season were squashed on Thursday after they threw away a three-goal aggregate lead against Gladbach in the Europa League. Manager Paulo Sousa might not be at the club at the end of the season

Torino are even further away from the top 6 but they could still catch Fiorentina and a positive result here would help them do that. Morale will be down in the Fiorentina camp and this is the time to capitalise for Torino. NaijaBet.com

Fiorentina – Matias Vecino’s suspension will force Borja Valero to play in midfield, thus leaving room for both Josip Ilicic and Federico Bernardeschi behind the lone striker.

Nikola Kalinic is set to start up front, despite playing the full game against Gladbach on Thursday.

Villarreal have lost just two of their last 12 matches at La Ceramica, which has been enough to keep them in the hunt for European football despite not churning out their usual good performances.

The Yellow Submarine have kept just one clean sheet in their last four La Liga games at home, which is something that Real Madrid should look to exploit while trying to get back on song.

A 2-1 away defeat against Valencia is the worst possible preparation for Real Madrid’s weekend excursion, with the pressure mounting on Zidane’s men to not slip up at the top of the table.

Villarreal – Nicola Sansone is struggling with a knock, so Cedric Bakambu and Adrian are expected to start despite Roberto Soldado’s return to fitness. Naija and Bet

Jaume Costa should be preferred to Jose Angel at left-back, with Fran Escriba not likely to make many alterations after winning away against Roma midweek.

Atletico Madrid have lost just one of their last 28 league games at Estadio Vicente Calderon and the hosts will be hoping to close out their last clash against Barcelona with a win before they change stadium during the summer.

The visitors’ last La Liga trip to this ground ended in a 1-0 win back in 201, and Luis Enrique will be hoping for more of the same this time around to ease the pressure building on his shoulders.

After a resounding 4-0 loss to PSG in the Champions League and an unconvincing 2-1 win over Leganes at Camp Nou, Luis Enrique is under fire as Barcelona boss. Naija and Bet

Team News

Atletico Madrid – Jan Oblak was on the bench for Atletico against Leverkusen midweek in the Champions League and should start this weekend.

Diego Godin is likely to be rushed back from injury to start alongside Stefan Savic at centre-back, with Sime Vrsaljko continuing at right-back in Juanfran’s absence.

Bayern need to improve in the Bundesliga again after two draws in their last three matches. Their 96th minute equaliser against Hertha last weekend saved them a point, but with a week of rest behind them, manager Carlo Ancelotti’s side will look to put on a more dominant display here.

Hamburg are unbeaten in their last three matches and in much-improved form after the winter break. They are more stable defensively and danger- ous on the break, but the likely absence of Kyriakos Papadopoulos is a huge blow for the team.

Expect Bayern to dominate the game at home and try to make up for their disappointing domestic performances in the past few matches. NaijaBet

Bayern Munich – Xabi Alonso should return to the starting XI after being rested last weekend.
