M1 Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur:

A R200,000 carryover will spark plenty of interest in this pool. Spurs have drawn on their last three visits to Goodison Park, but have not won there since a 6-2 triumph in 2018.

M2 Empoli vs Genoa: Empoli forced a surprise away draw against Juventus last weekend but remain in the Serie A relegation zone. Genoa are on a seven-match unbeaten run.

M3 Udinese vs Monza: Last season's two clashes between them in Serie A both ended in score draws.

M4 SC Freiburg vs VfB Stuttgart: Bundesliga clash. The visitors were comfortabl­e 5-0 winners at home over Freiburg when they last met in October. Freiburg's home record against Stuttgart is 12-10 in wins with two draws.

M5 FSV Mainz vs Werder Bremen: Mainz are second from bottom in the Bundesliga and have not won any of their last eight games. Werder Bremen have beaten Bayern Munich and Freiburg, both above them in the standings, in their last

two outings.

M6 VfL Bochum vs FC Augsburg: Only one point separates these two sides, who are both dangerousl­y close to the Bundesliga relegation zone. Bochum have won two of their last clashes with Augsburg.

M7 Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace: There is a history of low-scoring stalemates in this clash with six of their last nine meetings ending in 1-1 draws. Palace have only one victory from their last 10 games.

M8 Burnley vs Fulham: Burnley have won just one of their last 11 home matches at Turf Moor. Fulham have not won any of their last seven away matches.

M9 Newcastle United vs Luton Town: Another EPL clash. The visitors have been to St James' Park 12 times previously and are yet to win there.

M10 Sheffield United vs Aston Villa: High-flying Villa have won just once in their last seven meetings with United with three draws and three victories by the Blades, who remain entrenched at the bottom of the EPL log.
