Everton v Newcastle

Amazon Prime Video, 7.45pm Thursday

Only goal difference is keeping Everton out of the Premier League relegation zone and in-form Newcastle, who beat the Toffees 3-1 at St James' Park last month, could complete a swift double at Goodison Park.

West Ham v Sevilla

BT Sport 2, 8pm Thursday

Sevilla's away matches in La Liga are averaging just 1.33 goals per game and they are unlikely to take any unnecessary risks as they defend a 1-0 first-leg lead over West Ham, who are missing in-form forward Jarrod Bowen.

Bet of the day

Real Betis to beat Eintracht Frankfurt
BT Sport 3, 8pm Thursday

Only leaders Real Madrid have picked up more away points than Real Betis in La Liga this season and the Spanish side are worth backing to avenge their 2-1 first-leg home defeat to mid-table Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt.

Goalscorer bet of the day

Everton v Newcastle
Amazon Prime Video, 7.45pm Thursday

Everton's defence is low on confidence so Newcastle centre-back Fabian Schar could get chances from set-piece situations.

Schar has had at least two efforts on goal in four of his last seven Premier League appearances and scored with his only attempt in the recent win over Brighton so Betfair and Paddy Power's 10-1 that he finds the net is worth a small bet.

Best bet
Fabian Schar to score at any time
