Real Madrid were beaten 1-0 by Leganes in their last competitive game in the Copa del Rey, although they still made it to the next round, that loss ended their two games winning streak and they would be looking to bounce back in this game.
Los Blancos did beat Real Betis away from home in their last league game, thanks to a late strike from Dani Cabellos, but Sevilla are a different opponent in terms of quality and it would a more demanding game for them in this fixture.
Sevilla have also been very inconsistent this season.
They topped the La Liga table at some point during the first half of the season but their 2019 haven’t gotten off to the right start so far.
They started the year with a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid before going on to play Athletic Bilbao 3 times and losing twice, only narrowly qualifying for the next round of the Copa del Rey.
Their fans would be eager to see their side return to winning ways here and it would be a tough task but not so unthinkable giving Madrid’s inconsistent form.
Arsenal come into this game looking to close the gap on the top four having fallen 6 points adrift of the 4th position.
Interestingly they play Chelsea who are currently 4th, if they lose this game, they would be in for a tough time ending the season inside the top four and may even start the new week outside the top 5 should Manchester United win.
The Gunners have played well when they play at home recently with their last two games there ending in wins over Burnley and Fulham. They scored 7 goals in those games and conceded just 2 times, Unai Emery would be hoping for more of the same but Chelsea are of a different quality to the above opponents.
Chelsea started the reign of Maurizio Sarri Brightly, but the Blues have since gone through a rough patch.
they have struggled for goals recently as they haven’t scored more than 2 goals in over 10 game.
They beat Newcastle 2-1 at home in their last league game, but it was obvious that they are struggling to get goals and Arsenal should take advantage of that here.
Crystal Palace’s win over Manchester City last month helped Liverpool move 7 points clear at the top of the Premier League table, the Eagles have gone on to win their next away game and it would be a shocker if they earn yet another win here.
They have been impressive when they visit Anfield in the past as they had a three games winning streak there until last season.
Liverpool have made Anfield an absolute fortress these days as only Manchester City have stopped them from scoring there this season.
They have scored 27 goals and conceded just 3 times there also this season and it is hard not to see a win for the Premier League leaders on current form.
Liverpool overcame a very difficult Brighton side 1-0 last weekend to help them recover from a two games losing streak which included an FA Cup exit at hands of Wolves.
The Reds have won all of their last 3 games against the Eagles.

Bayer Munich haven’t been at their usual best this season and they risk losing their German League crown to Borussia Dortmund this season.
However, they seem to have gotten their swagger back and the end of the first half of the season.
Prior to the winter break, they were on a run of 5 straight league wins, scoring 13 goals and conceding just once. They went on a warm weather training camp in Dubai and their fans would hope that they return fresh enough to give Dortmund a run for the league title.
Hoffenheim have become the kings of draws this season and Julian Nagelsmann looks to end his reign on a high before taking over at RB Leipzig next season.
They have drawn all of their last 6 league games, with 4 of those games ending in 1-1 draws. They have beaten Bayern Munich to nil the last two times the Bavarians visited them, but they don’t seem to carry that same threat this season.
With all the problems they have this season, most of us expected Leganes to come away from the Bernabeu with something when these teams met in the first leg of this game last weekend.
However, Leganes may have underrated Madrid and they were well beaten 3-0 by the European champions. Ahead of this game, Leganes would feel that the first leg scoreline has left them with nothing to fight for.
They were very poor in the first leg as they offered little going forward and also were a shambles defensively, if they perform that poorly in this game as well, they would probably suffer the same fate.
They had just 3 shots on target in that game and came out of it having conceded 3 goals. You can say that all the confidence they had before that game was lost during the game itself.
Leganes are not a team that gives up easily and when they have played at home, they have been at their best as they have lost just once in their home in the league this season.
Real Madrid have won each of their last four matches against Leganes. When the pair met in the first leg just a week ago, Madrid won by three goals to nil.
Since they first met back in 2013, the pair have faced each other ten times.
Leganes have won once.
AS Monaco earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Olypique Marseille in their last game and that would have provided a much needed boost to their morale ahead of this game.
Thierry Henry’s side needed that draw to show that they are achieving something and they have now avoided defeat in 3 of their last 4 games, whereas they had lost 4 of their previous 5.
They have steadied the ship defensively and the return of Rony Lopes to their starting line up alongside the newly signed Cesc Fabregas is surely going to make them a better team in this second half of the season.
Nice come into this game having tasted victory just once in their last 7 games in all competitions.
However, that win came against Bordeaux last weekend and they would be confident of getting something from this game.
The visitors attempted to play a possession-based game in their last match and that wasn’t successful as their opponents kept on cutting out their passes.
They could be afforded more freedom to play their game here, but that wouldn’t guarantee them the win.
Monaco have scored in four of their last five matches and with Nice losing their last two games on the road, we can see les Monegasques nicking a win here. Both these sides have seen low-scoring matches recently with just two of Nice’s last 14 containing over 2.
5 goals, so we’re going to back a 1-0 victory for Monaco. Nice have seemed incapable of scoring recently and with Monaco on the up, we’re expecting Henry’s men to do the job here.
Milan would be looking to stop Juventus from getting their hands on their first of four possible trophies when they face each other in this Super Cup game.
The Italian public is far from pleased that this game is not been played on home soil and the fact that it was shifted to January has also not placed the Italian FA in good light.
However, these teams would care less and Cristiano Ronaldo would be looking to inspire Juve to win his first major trophy in Italian football.
These teams both got their 2019 off to winning starts so they would both be confident of getting something out of this game.
Milan were beaten 4-0 by Juventus in the Italian Cup final last season, but we don’t think this game would be as one sided as that one was.
Juve have dominated the matches when these two teams meet recently as the Old Ladies come into this game on a run of 6 straight wins over Milan.
Juventus have won both encounters with Milan this season, including a 3-1 win when the pair met in Turin back in March last year.
Barcelona bounced back from their loss in the first leg of this game to beat Eibar 3-0 in their last match and their fans would be hoping that they can continue that run of form and secure yet another win in front of them here.
The Catalans always lack both creativity and end product when they play without the likes of Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, so Enersto Valverde has a decision to make in terms of resting his key men or not.
Levante can count themselves lucky to have won the first leg with two goals inside the first 20 minutes. They actually deserved their win because they were more economical with the ball, however, they haven’t been as good when they play away from home.
Barcelona may not have been the best defensively when they play at home, but they have been scoring at least 2.
5 goals when they play at home.
Levante have also not been their best when they play away from home as they concede at least 2.3 goals away from home.
Levante have now won two of their last three matches against Barcelona, though they have lost each of their previous 12 matches at Camp Nou.
