Crystal Palace v Arsenal

Arsenal have won 17 of their 23 matches against teams outside the top three this season and they can strengthen their Champions League qualification hopes with victory at Crystal Palace. The Gunners have won their last five away league games and should make that six at Selhurst Park.

Milan v Bologna

Milan started the weekend at the top of Serie A and they can keep their title aspirations intact with victory at home to Bologna. The visitors are mid-table with little at stake, so motivation may be on the wane, and they head to the San Siro having picked up just one point from their last five away matches.

Real Sociedad v Espanyol

Scoring goals has been the main problem for Real Sociedad this season but they are a solid unit and should still have too much for Espanyol, who have failed to win on their last five away trips. The hosts are sixth in the table and had kept four clean sheets in five prior to the international break.

Porto v Santa Clara

Porto lead the way in the Portuguese top flight but with Sporting hot on their heels they can't any slip-ups. The Dragons are still unbeaten this season, having won 23 of their 27 league games, and should make light work of Santa Clara.
