Preview of the weekend: Zidane begins 2nd coming; FA Cup quarter-finals start

Welcome to All Football Preview of the Weekend. You should miss not even one game! Below are the best matches that the world of football would bring to you.

Real Madrid vs Celta

Kick off: 16:15(CET)

Date: Sat, 16-Mar-19

Probable Lineups:

Team News:

Sergio Ramos returns from suspension and will start Zinedine Zidane's first game back in charge of Real Madrid.

Marcelo has been poor this season and lost his place in the team under Santiago Solari. Zidane will be tasked with getting his confidence back.

Toni Kroos is expected to anchor Madrid's midfield in the absence of the suspended Casemiro. Federico Valverde is likely to get the nod over Dani Ceballos in central midfield.

Keylor Navas was a favourite under Zidane, but it remains to be seen whether he will bench summer signing Thibaut Courtois.

Focus:

Madrid have lost four of their last six home matches and Zidane will be tasked with getting Los Blancos back on track.

Celta Vigo have taken just four points from their last 12 games in the league and are now seriously in danger of getting relegated.

With key players missing, coupled with the natural new manager bounce that will come with Zidane's return at Madrid, this will not be a good weekend for Vigo.

Whoscored prediction

Real Madrid 3-0 Celta

Betis vs Barcelona

Kick off: 20:45 (CET)

Date: Sun, 17-Mar-19

Probable Lineups

Team News

Clement Lenglet is available for league action once again after suspension, but Samuel Umtiti could rotate in at centre-back.

Ousmane Dembele aggravated a muscle injury midweek, which will rule the Frenchman out until April. Philippe Coutinho should retain his place on the left wing as a result for the away side.

Focus

Real Betis have failed to win in their last four home games in all competitions, which has to be a record that changes as they chase down a European place.

Barcelona are unbeaten in their last six competitive away games, last suffering defeat on their penultimate visit to Seville where they lost 2-0 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in the Copa del Rey.

Swansea vs Man City

Kick Off: 18:20 (CET)

Date: Sat, 16-Mar-19

Probable Lineups:

Team News:

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is expected to shuffle his pack on Saturday but still expect a strong starting XI.

Kevin De Bruyne and Fernandinho will continue to miss out for the Premier League leaders. Fabian Delph could start his first game since January here.

Nicolás Otamendi and John Stones have been the defensive partnership of choice in the FA Cup this season and could continue here.

Focus:

Manchester City have beaten lower-league opposition by a combined score of 29-1 over six matches this season.

City warmed up for Saturday's FA Cup clash with Championship side Swansea by beating Schalke 7-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday.

City are expected to come through this match with relative ease and keep their hopes of an unprecedented quadruple alive.

Whoscored predictions

Swansea 1-3 Man City

Wolves vs Man Utd

Kick off: 20:55 (CET)

Date: Sat, 16-Mar-19

Probable Lineups:

Team News:

Anthony Martial and Nemanja Matic both recovered from injury to feature against Arsenal last weekend. Martial will replace Romelu Lukaku in the starting XI as the Belgian has suffered an ankle injury.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will still be without the likes of Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Alexis Sanchez against Wolves.

Focus:

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffered his first domestic defeat as Manchester United manager last weekend and will hope for a response here.

Whoscored predictions:

Wolves 1-1 Man United

Fulham vs Liverpool

Kick off: 15:15 (CET)

Date: Sun, 17-Mar-19

Probable Lineups

Team News:

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will make some changes from the side that beat Bayern Munich 3-1 in Germany on Wednesday.

Dejan Lovren has only been deemed fit enough for the bench in Liverpool's last two matches and could rotate into the starting XI here.

Jordan Henderson is ruled out of Sunday's trip to Craven Cottage after coming off in the first half against Bayern with a twisted ankle.

Focus:

Liverpool will be high on confidence after eliminating Bayern Munich from the Champions League on Wednesday. With Manchester City playing in the FA Cup this weekend, Jurgen Klopp's side have a very good chance to reclaim top spot in the Premier League here.

The last five Premier League meetings between the two sides have averaged nearly four goals a game and everything points towards a big Liverpool victory on Sunday.

Whoscored predictions

Fulham 0-4 Livepool

Everton vs Chelsea

Kick off: 17:30 (CET)

Date: Sun, 17-Mar-19

Probable Lineups

Team News:

Gonzalo Higuain missed Thursday's Europa League clash with Dynamo Kyiv through illness and remains a doubt here.

Olivier Giroud scored a hat-trick in his absence in Ukraine and will hope to be rewarded with what would be just his seventh league start of the season.

Sarri shuffled his pack in midweek and will recall the likes of Eden Hazard, Jorginho and David Luiz for Sunday's trip to Goodison Park.

Focus:

Chelsea have a great chance to solidify their claim for a top four finish this weekend with neither Arsenal, Tottenham nor Manchester United in league action this weekend.

Chelsea will go level on points with Arsenal in fourth with three points here and could even leapfrog the Gunners with an emphatic scoreline. They did win 5-0 away from home in midweek.

This is Chelsea's game in hand on their top-six rivals and win would also put them a point behind third place Tottenham. They cannot afford to miss this opportunity.

Whoscored prediction

Everton 1-2 Chelsea

Milan vs Inter

Kick off: 20:30 (CET)

Date: Sun, 17-Mar-19

Probable Lineups

Team News:

Lucas Biglia scored against Chievo in the last game, but Gennaro Gattuso will probably pick the XI that worked best for Milan in this positive streak.This means Tiemoué Bakayoko will probably feature in midfield instead of the Argentinian.

Lautaro Martinez did not play in the Europa League due to suspension, so he will be well rested for the derby.Marcelo Brozovic was also kept on the bench and might still be struggling with some muscular problems.

Focus:

Milan have won five games in a row and they are unbeaten in their last 10. As a result, they have been able to leapfrog Inter into third place and even close in on Napoli, who are six points ahead in second.

Inter beat SPAL last week, just before being eliminated from the Europa League by Eintracht Frankfurt. Now they will be able to concentrate their efforts on retaining a spot in the top four as it's slowly slipping out of their hands.

The two clubs are in polar situations. The January market and following results have given Milan and their fans the enthusiasm that had not been seen in years. Inter, on the other hand, enjoyed a strong start of the season and high attendance numbers, but now that hype is fading as the team is dropping points and positions.

Inter have what it takes to correct this trend, but Milan have become a solid side, and are difficult to score against. A draw would probably only benefit Roma and those chasing a top-four finish, which means both sides will aim for all three points.

Whoscored prediction

Milan 1-1 Inter

Athletic Club vs Atletico Madrid

Kick off: 18:30 (CET)

Date: Sat, 16-Mar-19

Probable Lineups:

Team News:

Given that Lucas Hernandez, Filipe Luis and Santiago Arias are all struggling with injuries, Diego Simeone doesn't have many full-backs to choose from.

Juanfran was terrible at left-back against Juventus in midweek and should return to right-back here, with Saul asked to fill in at left-back.

Thomas Partey will slot into the team after missing the 3-0 defeat away to Juventus through suspension in midweek.

Focus:

Atletico Madrid have won their last four league games but morale will be at rock bottom after crashing out of the Champions League in midweek.

Athletic Club have only lost one game at home since Gaizka Garitano took over at San Mames, with that solitary defeat coming in the Copa del Rey.

Whoscored prediction

Athletic Club 1-1 Atletico Madrid

Bayern Munich vs Mainz

Kick off: 18:00 (CET)

Date: Sun, 17-Mar-19

Probable Lineups

Team News

Niklas Süle, Jérôme Boateng and Mats Hummels compete for two spots at centre-back.

Rafinha could get a chance at left-back, with David Alaba possibly being rested.

Kingsley Coman returned from injury, but might not be risked from the start here.

Focus

Bayern Munich were eliminated from the Champions League in midweek, losing 3-1 at home to Liverpool. They now have to focus on winning the Bundesliga, which could go down to goal difference.

Mainz have lost five of their last six Bundesliga matches, but still have an 11-point advantage on the relegation play-off spot going into the weekend. They will hope to keep this game close for as long as possible, which might beome a difficult task.

Whoscored prediction

Bayern Munich 3-1 Mainz

Hertha BSC vs Dortmund

Kick off: 18:30 (CET)

Date: Sat, 16-Mar-19

Probable Lineups

Team News:

Julian Weigl returns from illness to offer a further option at centre-back, with Abdou Diallo possibly switching to the left again.

Thomas Delaney should replace the injured Axel Witsel in defensive midfield.

Mahmoud Dahoud provides a further option in central midfield, if manager Lucien Favre decides to drop one of his attacking players for more stability.

Focus:

Dortmund are under pressure to get a result here after Bayern moved to the top of the table because of their superior goal difference last weekend. It remains to be seen if they can work on their own scoring total in a difficult away game.

Hertha have to recover from a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Freiburg last time out and trail the Europa League places by seven points ahead of this match day. They have only lost one of their last seven home games, however.

Whoscored predictions

Herta 2-2 Dortmund

Genoa vs Juventus

Kick off: 12:30 (CET)

Date: Sun, 17-Mar-19

Probable Lineups

Team News:

Cristiano Ronaldo was rested in Juventus' last league match and it worked a treat as he scored a hat-trick against Atletico Madrid in midweek. He will be keen to catch up in the race for the Capocannoniere this weekend.

Mario Mandzukic looked tired when he was subbed off against Atletico on Tuesday and could drop to the bench against Genoa in favour of Paulo Dybala.

Focus:

Juventus have won five in a row in the league and will be full of confidence after overturning a 2-0 first-leg deficit to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League in midweek.

Even if Juventus rest a few first-team players this weekend, they should still return home with three points here.

Whoscored predictions

Genoa 0-1 Juventus

PSG vs Marseille

Kick off: 21:00 (CET)

Date: Sun, 17-Mar-19

Probable Lineups

Team News

Dani Alves is back from suspension; the Brazilian should feature here.

Edinson Cavani is a doubt, having been left out of the side in midweek with a thigh injury.

Julian Draxler will return after the international break after suffering a hamstring injury.

Focus

One of France's biggest matches, this sees the hosts having responded firmly after being eliminated from the Champions' League with a 4-0 win over Dijon.

Marseille have been rejuvenated by a tactical switch and the form of Mario Balotelli and may be slight favorites here given PSG's fixture congestion and long list of absentees.
