Friday Forecast: Mourinho to return to Stamford Bridge; CR7's 1000th career game

Another weekend with several huge league clashes is coming as we bring you all you need to know ahead of it.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/22 12:30

Probable Lineups

Chelsea focus

Kante was forced off early on in Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Manchester United and joins Van Ginkel and Loftus-Cheek on the sidelines.

Lampard will be desperate to have Abraham available following Michy Batshuayi's poor performance against Manchester United on Monday. Giroud may even get the nod if Abraham is out, as Batshuayi was that poor.

Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic and Christensen will all be assessed closer to kick-off.

Zouma could start if Christensen isn't fit to feature, while Caballero may keep his spot between the sticks.

Tottenham focus

Son Heung-Min joined Kane and Moussa Sissoko on the sidelines this week having undergone surgery after sustaining an arm fracture at Aston Villa last weekend.

Foyth remains a doubt for the away side, but Jose Mourinho's main injury worries come in the final third.

He may revert to a 4-4-2 setup, with Tanganga coming into the side and Aurier pushed forward.

Mourinho said Tottenham were better once Alli went off against RB Leipzig in midweek and the midfielder could drop out of the starting XI here.

Whoscored prediction

Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham

SPAL vs Juventus

Kick-Off UTC 2020/02/22 17:00

Probable Lineups

Juventus focus

Pjanic will miss out due to injury, while Leonardo Bonucci is suspended and will be replaced by Daniele Rugani, despite the return of Giorgio Chiellini.

Ronaldo will have his 1000th career game if he starts in the game. He has scored 724 goals in last 999 games.

Whoscored prediction

SPAL 0-3 Juventus

Leicester City vs Manchester City 

Kick-Off UTC 2020/02/22 17:30

Probable Lineups

Leicester focus

Bennett missed Leicester's draw with Wolves due to the terms in his loan agreement. He should make the matchday squad here.

Ndidi has missed Leicester's last two matches and Rodgers will hope he is fine to play against Manchester City.

Choudhury is suspended for one game after his red card against Wolves.

Do not be surprised if Leicester line up in a back three against City on Saturday. Fuchs or Bennett would come into the side as a result.

Man City focus

David Silva picked up a knock in Wednesday's win over West Ham and Guardiola has confirmed he is a doubt for the weekend.

Laporte was fit enough to start against the Hammers and should keep his place in the side here.

Fernandinho will likely partner Laporte at the back after being given the night off against West Ham.

Sane is closing in on a first-team action after returning to full training in recent weeks. Sterling remains injured.

Mahrez will hope for a recall to face his former club.

Jesus was poor in front of goal against West Ham and may drop out of the side here.

Zinchenko has completed his ban and should make the matchday squad here.

Whoscored prediction

Leicester 0-1 Man City

Manchester United vs Watford

kick-Off UTC 2020/02/23 14:00

Probable Lineups

Man Utd focus

Deadline day signing Ighalo is still waiting to make his full Manchester United debut after two substitute appearances in the last week. He will be desperate to face former club Watford on Sunday.

Solskjaer has suggested McTominay will be back in the squad this weekend. The midfielder has missed United's last 13 matches in all competitions but may have to settle for a place on the bench.

United opted against risking Bailly against Club Brugge on Thursday after the defender picked up a knock against Chelsea on Monday. After a such a good display at Stamford Bridge, he will be keen to recover in time to play here.

Solskjaer has gone with a back three in recent matches but may revert to a four-man defence against the Hornets. Wan-Bissaka will come back into the team after being given a rest in midweek.

Greenwood will hope to come back into the first-team picture if the teenager recovers from illness in time.

Whoscored prediction

Man Utd 1-1 Watford

Arsenal vs Everton

Sokratis picked up a knock to his knee in Thursday's 1-0 win away to Olympiacos and is a doubt for Sunday.

Mustafi will likely partner David Luiz at the back to face former club Everton.

Illness kept Torreira out of Thursday's game and Arteta will hope to have the midfielder available here.

Pepe and Ozil will likely return to the starting XI against Everton.

Whoscored prediction

Hazard should make a start after recovering from injury recently, being deployed on the left-hand side of Zidane's attack.

Bale should be available after illness too and will likely figure on the right wing.

Levante 1-2 Real Madrid

Liverpool vs West Ham

Kick-Off UTC 2020/02/24 20:00

Probable Lineups

Liverpool focus

Jordan Henderson picked up a hamstring injury against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night. Even if the injury is not as bad as first feared, the Liverpool captain will not be risked here.

Sadio Mane was pulled off at half-time against Atletico over fears the Spanish side were trying to get him sent off. He will start against West Ham on Monday.

The likes of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joel Matip will push for starting berths here.

Liverpool 4-0 West Ham

Fiorentina vs Milan

Probable Lineups

Bayern focus

In their quest to win the Bundesliga for the eighth straight season, caretaker Hansi Flick has taken the serial champions to the summit after taking over from sacked Kovac.

Defenders Pavard and Boateng are both suspended after picking up their fifth yellows last weekend. Lucas Hernández is likely to slot in. Odriozola, on loan from Real Madrid until the end of the season, could get a first start at right-back.

Perisic suffered an ankle injury and has been ruled out for several months. The Croatian's injury presents an opportunity for Coutinho or, more likely, Gnabry.

Arp has recovered from an arm injury, while Süle is back jogging after suffering an ACL tear in the autumn and remains hopeful of playing again this season.
