UEFA Europa League football – Lille vs Liverpool
Liverpool have seen their hopes of winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup dashed this season. Tonight they travel to Lille in the hope of giving something back to their fans, who will surely be dismayed by the plight of their club, who now look unlikely to even qualify for any competition stronger than this one next season. Even with Steven Gerrard and Fernanado Torres, the Reds crashed to defeat on Monday against lowly Wigan, and tonight's opposition look to be tougher.
UEFA Champions League football – Manchester United vs A.C. Milan
A.C Milan travel to Old Trafford tonight in the knock-out stages of the Champions League hoping to overcome their 3-2 defeat at the San Siro in the first leg of the tie. No team can claim to have a particularly strong record at the 'Theatre of Dreams', but many of Milan's players were in the side that won 1-0 there in 2005. Their most recent meeting in Manchester, in 2007, finished 3-2 to the hosts.
UEFA Champions League football betting – Real Madrid vs Lyon
Real Madrid's expensively-assembled squad will look to justify their remarkable price-tags tonight as the new Galacticos face Lyon in the Champions League. The four most expensive players in Madrid's side alone cost £200 million this summer but the Spanish Giants are facing yet another humiliating exit at this stage of the competition. Manuel Pelligrini's side have now gone top of La Liga but many believe the Chilean will need to deliver Europe's most prestigious title to keep his job.
Indian Premier League Cricket betting
The Indian Premier League's third season begins on the 12th of March. Cricket's richest competition, featuring eight teams, will be played over forty-five days and will be the first ever cricket tournament to be broadcast live over YouTube.com. Four new venues have also been added for this season's competition.
Championship football betting – Crystal Palace vs Bristol City
Paul Hart's first game in charge of Crystal Palace ended in a 1-0 win over Sheffield United on Saturday. The cash-strapped side, who lost manager Neil Warnock to rivals QPR, will hope for a similar result and performance tonight as they look to put some distance between them and the drop zone. Palace are currently twentieth in the Championship after their financial issues cost them a ten-point deduction and are out of the bottom three only on goal difference.
Spanish La Liga football betting – Real Madrid vs Seville
Real Madrid host Seville tonight in La Liga hoping to keep the pressure on league-leaders Barcelona. Real are now just two points behind their Catalan rivals with a superior goal difference and will definitely believe they can win the league this season. After an extraordinary spending spree in the summer transfer window, La Liga will be the minimum requirement and Manuel Pelligrini will be under pressure to add the Champions League if he hopes to keep his job.
Premier League football betting – Arsenal vs Burnley
Arsenal host Burnley today in the Barclays Premier League knowing that a win would keep them firmly in the hunt for the title. The Gunners are currently third in the table and are only three points off leaders Chelsea, impressive as many wrote them off after the Blues's 3-0 win at the Emirates. Arsenal bounced back, both from that and their 3-1 loss to Manchester United, and have played their part in making this one of the most interesting title races for some time.
International Friendly football betting – Scotland vs Czech Republic
Scotland face the Czech Republic tonight in a friendly match at Hampden Park. Neither of these sides will be going to the World Cup this summer but the managers will still be eager to have a look at their squads and start thinking about the 2012 European Championships. Scotland will also hope to bounce back from their humiliating 3-0 defeat to Wales last time out.
