Southampton vs Tottenham

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/01/25 15:00

Probable line-ups

Tottenham focus

Hugo Lloris made his return in the 2-1 win over Norwich on Wednesday night and could keep his place between the sticks.

Harry Winks was forced off in the victory with an ankle issue and joins Harry Kane, Ben Davies and Moussa Sissoko on the sidelines, while Danny Rose will be assessed.

Jose Mourinho is likely to continue with a 4-2-3-1 setup, with Tanguy Ndombele in line to make his first appearance since the 1-0 defeat to Southampton on New Year's Day, while January arrival Gedson Fernandes will hope to make his full debut.

Southampton 2-1 Tottenham

Hull City vs Chelsea

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/01/25 17:30

Probable line-ups

Chelsea focus

Frank Lampard hoped Reece James would be involved against Arsenal in midweek but he failed to recover in time. He could return here.

Tammy Abraham suffered an ankle injury in the 2-2 draw with the Gunners and is not expected to feature here.

Olivier Giroud is unlikely to play until his future is resolved, which should give Michy Batshuayi the chance to start here.

Whoscored prediction

Hull City 0-2 Chelsea

Man City vs Fulham

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/01/26 13:00

Probable line-ups

Man City focus

John Stones wasn't involved against Sheffield United in midweek and remains a doubt with a knock sustained last weekend. Benjamin Mendy is also a doubt with a muscle injury and may not be risked.

Aymeric Laporte made his first appearance since August against Sheffield United and City kept their first clean sheet of 2020. He may drop out of the team here to ease him back into the swing of things.

Youngsters Eric Garcia and Taylor Harwood-Bellis will hope to continue their partnership at the back.

Expect the likes of David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, Sergio Aguero and Phil Foden to start here.

Whoscored prediction

Man City 2-0 Fulham

Tranmere vs Man United

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/01/26 15:00

Probable line-ups

Man United focus

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will make wholesale changes from the side that lost 2-0 at home to Burnley in midweek.

Eric Bailly could make his appearance of the season at the back, with Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot also expected to start here.

Scott McTominay is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a knee injury but remains out, along with Paul Pogba.

Mason Greenwood was surprisingly benched against Burnley but will come into the fold on Sunday. Victor Lindelof has overcome illness and should also feature here.

Jesse Lingard and Sergio Romero should also benefit with starts in this weekend's FA Cup action.

Whoscored prediction

Tranmere 0-1 Man United

Napoli vs Juventus

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/01/26 19:45

Probable line-ups

Juventus focus

Rodrigo Bentancur is back from suspension and will replace Adrien Rabiot in the startng lineup, while Aaron Ramsey and Paulo Dybala are expected to start after being rested in midweek against Roma.

Juventus are currently four points clear of Inter at the top of the table and will face a side that has been struggling in the league under Gattuso, although Napoli's win over Lazio in midweek can help spark some form in order to push for a Europa league spot.

Whoscored prediction

Napoli 0-2 Juventus

Valladolid vs Madrid

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/01/26 20:00

Probable line-ups

Real Madrid focus

Dani Carvajal is suspended for the home side, meaning that Nacho will fill in at right-back for the visitors.

Sergio Ramos is still recovering from an ankle injury, so Eder Militao should continue at centre-back.

Gareth Bale is also carrying an ankle problem, which should lead to Rodrygo starting in attack alongside Karim Benzema.

Real Madrid are on a run of 18 games without defeat in all competitions.

Whoscored prediction

Valladolid 1-2 Madrid
