Can Liverpool get back to winning ways when they travel to Huddersfield? Opta weighs up the odds. Huddersfield are winless in their last 11 matches in all competitions against Liverpool (D3 L8) - last beating the Reds in November 1959 in the second tier.  Liverpool are   1.37  to win. Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in each of their last six meetings in all competitions with the Terriers - the last Liverpool goalkeeper to fail to keep a shutout against them was Jim Furnell in April 1962.  They are   2.10  to win to nil. Liverpool have lost their last two Premier League away games played on a Tuesday, failing to score in both (0-1 vs Hull in Apr 2015 and 0-2 vs Leicester in Feb 2016).  Huddersfield are   11.50  to win. Huddersfield are yet to lose back-to-back home games in the Premier League this season, and only one of their four defeats at the John Smith's Stadium has been against a non-London side (1-2 vs Manchester City)....

Sheffield United v Aston Villa Tuesday 30th January 2018, 19:45 Live on Sky Sports Sheffield United boss demands more Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has challenged his players to make themselves "undroppable" as the Blades enter a potentially season-defining run of games. United reached the FA Cup 5th Round on Saturday thanks to a 1-0 success over Preston, keeping their unbeaten 2018 record intact. New signings Ricky Holmes, Ryan Leonard and Lee Evans were all ineligible for the meeting with Preston whilst loan signing James Wilson watched from the bench. CaptainBilly Sharp settled the fixture with a second-half penalty whilst Ched Evans made an impressive long-awaited return from injury. Wilson and Leonard both impressed on their debuts against Norwich last week and should return to the fold here but David Brooks, Kieron Freeman and Paul Coutts all remain sidelined. Aston Villa look to continue winning streak Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce hav...

Swansea v Arsenal Tuesday, 19:45 Swans revived by arrival of Carvalhal Swansea again appeared doomed to relegation midway through the season but there are signs the Premier League club could pull off yet another great escape. Paul Clement paid the price for their struggles by being dismissed in December and his replacement,  Carlos Carvalhal , was something of a surprise choice. He had only recently been sacked by Sheffield Wednesday but the Portuguese boss has had a strong impact during his first month in charge. His first match saw the Swans pull off a late comeback to snatch a 2-1 win at Watford but his finest hour came last week after their shock 1-0 home  win over Liverpool . It was a superb defensive performance by Swansea and took the bottom side within three points of safety. Carvalhal's side also remain in the FA Cup after drawing 1-1 at League Two Notts County in the fourth round on Saturday. Arsenal's away form still letting them down Arsenal have...

In his latest look at the European football picture, James Horncastle assesses Zinedine Zidane's future at Real Madrid and two mouthwatering clashes in Ligue 1 and Serie A... Zizou Flop Managers have been sacked for a lot less at  Real Madrid . Ordinarily  a cup exit to Leganes would be justification enough for Florentino Perez to issue a P45. But for now at least  Zinedine Zidane  remains in place. The Betfair Sportsbook have, however, put up a  Next Real Madrid manager market  - with Carlo Ancelotti, Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho all getting backing. It seems all that's keeping the incumbent safe is  status and the credit in the bank  that comes with winning the Champions League in back-to-back years and five trophies in 2017. That said, the legendary Frenchman knows he is on thin ice. If Perez and the board haven't already decided to make a change at the end of the season, the outcome of Madrid's Round of 16  Champion...

Yeovil Town v Manchester United FA Cup Fourth Round BBC1, Kick-off 19:55 GMT There's nothing worse than being injured for your side's big match. Actually, Yeovil midfielder  Otis Khan  has proved there is - being suspended. It's avoidable, whereas injury is less so. "Heartbroken", the player's own description, doesn't quite cover it. In Khan's case, his red card for pushing a referee (despite his protestations of it being accidental) prevents him facing his boyhood team. Khan, one of  Darren Way 's key players, said in the autumn he wanted to see what could happen in the transfer window regarding climbing the football ladder. It sounded like he was in a hurry to move. A five-game ban shuts that door. Yeovil hosted the Red Devils in 2015 in the FA Cup Third Round, with only keeper  Artur Krysiak , who was on the bench that day, and defender Nathan Smith still at the Somerset club. The Glovers were famous as giant killers in their non-leag...
