Chelsea have shown signs of life under interim boss Calum McFarlane. They've beaten Leeds to reach the FA Cup final. However, they're yet to register their first Premier League win after a poor run under Liam Rosenior. The team have slipped out of the European places, which adds extra pressure ahead of this fixture.

Nottingham Forest arrive in much better shape. They are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games, picking up three wins and two draws, and look far more stable than earlier in the season. That consistency has been key in keeping them clear of danger. Still, Chelsea's squad quality is significantly higher. If McFarlane can get the best out of his attacking players, the hosts should have enough to edge this one.

This fixture is statistically primed for a low goal count, as only two of Lazio's 19 competitive away games this season have featured more than 2.5 goals. Lazio’s pragmatic approach away from the Stadio Olimpico focuses on defensive solidity, resulting in an average of just 1.41 total goals per away match. Cremonese’s severe lack of finishing—missing key strikers like Jamie Vardy due to muscle injuries—combined with Lazio's disciplined backline, points toward a tight, tactical encounter. Historical head-to-head data further reinforces this, with their most recent encounter being a goalless draw, suggesting a 1-0 or 2-0 outcome for the visitors.

Al-Ettifaq should claim a high-scoring home win on Monday. Al Najma have lost eight of their last nine matches. All nine games finished with at least three goals scored.

AS Roma didn't concede goals in two of the last three matches. On the other hand, Fiorentina allowed two goals in the previous four games. We shouldn't expect goals on both sides in the upcoming clash.

Everton have been finding the net at home, even against sides like the Reds, which suggests there is still some bite in attack. You can see it in those moments where they break quickly and catch teams off guard. Pep’s side have just one clean sheet in their last five away games, so conceding once here would not be a shock.

Real Sociedad will fancy their chances of picking up a positive result this weekend. Sevilla lost five of their last six games, while the visitors picked up victories in five of their last seven matches against the home side.
