Premier League Tips

Zinedine Zidane's side are finally on a roll and they have won their last five matches. That includes a 3-1 win over PSG and they looked good in brushing aside Alaves at the weekend.

They haven't lost away from home in La Liga since a 2-1 defeat to Girona back in October, and they have recorded wins in three of their last four away from the Bernabeu.

The hosts have drawn their four latest outings, bur prior to that it had been three straight defeats in all competitions and they haven't won in La Liga since January 8th.

Quique Sánchez Flores' men haven't won at home in the league since December and they lost 3-0 to Sevilla. Admittedly they did hold Barcelona to a draw at the beginning of February, but they do tend to raise their game against their local rivals.

Swans to progress without the need for Extra Time

Bet 2: Back Swansea @ 4/5 - KO 19:45 GMT

The Swans are taking on the Owls for the right to play either Rochdale or Tottenham in the last eight of the FA Cup, and after managing to earn a draw at Hillsborough, I expect the Welsh club to make home advantage pay this evening.

Carlos Carvalhal has made a great start to life in Swansea and while the former Wednesday boss suffered a disappointing defeat on Saturday, I wouldn't read too much into it.

That loss came on the back of a 10 match unbeaten run - five wins - and they have won five on the spin at the Liberty. Their opponents also conceded four goals on Saturday as they went down 4-2 at home to Aston Villa.

That was their second straight defeat and they have won only three times on their travels all season.

Goals for both teams at the Madejski

Bet 3: Back BTTS in Reading v Sheffield United @ 5/6 - KO 20:00 GMT

Our final pick comes from the Championship and while the stats aren't as favourable as they might be, I'm of the belief that we will get goals in this game.

The Royals need the points as they are four above the relegation zone, so victory in their game in hand this evening would really open up a nice gap to Birmingham in 22nd.

The Blades need the points for other reasons as a bad run of form has seen them drop out of the play-off places. They now trail Bristol City in sixth by two points, but again, winning their game in hand tonight would put them right back in the mix.

It's also worth noting that this selection would have landed in four of Reading's last five, and even though United have lost their last three away from home to nil, one of those was at Leicester in the cup, and the other was against runaway leaders, Wolves.
