Nice v Montpellier

Montpellier have lost ten of their 17 Ligue 1 games this season and hosts Nice have won five of their last six home games against these opponents.

Monaco v Lorient

Only Paris St-Germain have taken more points away from home this season than Monaco's 19 from a possible 24 and they can continue their good form against a Lorient team who have won just one of their last seven in the league.

Southampton v Manchester City

Manchester City are odds-on to win the EFL Cup and they should be able to breeze through their quarter-final against Nathan Jones's Southampton, who have lost six of their last nine games in all competitions.

Milan v Torino

Torino have won only four of their last 13 games in all competitions and they face a tough Coppa Italia tie against Milan, who have been victorious in four of their last six games. The Rossoneri's class should prove decisive in this one.
