I wanted Arsenal to try to push Liverpool in the title race but boss Mikel Arteta clearly knew something I didn’t, resting his players against Everton last weekend and then demolishing Real Madrid the way they did.
Arteta will make changes again here, before Wednesday’s second leg at the Bernabeu, and the fact it won’t be the Gunners’ strongest side makes this quite hard to predict.
Brentford are very capable
Mychelle was born and grew up in Stoke Newington, north London, but says there was no chance of her supporting her local club, Arsenal.
“I support Chelsea because of my step-dad – he always had their games on the TV – but my mum is a Tottenham fan and she was adamant that I could not support Arsenal,” she told BBC Sport.
“There were not many other Chelsea fans around
I am concerned how Nottingham Forest will cope without Chris Wood up front if he is out injured. At the moment it is not clear how serious his problem is.
Forest made quite a few changes against Brighton in the FA Cup over the weekend, and still got through without ‘the Wood-chopper’, but they really need him back as soon as possible.
Speaking as a Forest fan, it’s especially annoying

I feel like some people don’t believe that I am a lifelong Nottingham Forest fan, because I do support about eight other teams too, but there are photos of me as a kid in a new bright red Forest kit at Christmas one year, playing on a little snooker table that my parents had bought me.
So, this is a big game for Bruce
Cavell’s family are Chelsea fans and she has followed in their footsteps by becoming a season ticket holder at Stamford Bridge.
“My mum’s side of the family are Battersea born and bred and my dad’s side were from Fulham, so Chelsea is all I’ve ever known!” she told BBC Sport.
“I have quite literally been a fan since I was a baby. There is a picture of me, a few
Manchester City basically waved the white flag at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night and, without Erling Haaland, lacked belief against Real Madrid from the off.
Let’s be frank, it was a shambolic performance from Pep Guardiola’s side, with a real lack of intensity.
Part of the pickle City found themselves in was down to the way Pep had set them up.
I don’t know how many times Abdukodir Khusanov had

I have a lot of admiration for Manchester United’s performance in their FA Cup win against Arsenal, especially to grind it out with 10 men for an hour after Diogo Dalot was sent off.
But these next three games, at home against Southampton, Brighton and then Rangers, are a very different test for them compared to their trips to the Emirates Stadium and Anfield in the

I usually get a bit of feedback on social media when I predict a Manchester United defeat but it has been very quiet since I said they would lose to Bournemouth on Sunday.
I did not think the scoreline would be 3-0 again, but the reason I went with the Cherries is because they won at Old Trafford last season and, since then, they have improved while
McClure is a lifelong Sheffield Wednesday fan, despite some family history with Everton too.
“My dad’s side of the family are actually Everton fans because my grandad’s brother, Joe McClure, played for them in the 1930s, in the same team as Dixie Dean,” Jon told BBC Sport.
“But it’s always been Wednesday for me. My Nan danced with the players when they brought the FA Cup back to Sheffield in

Do I think Wolves will score? Yes.
Do I think Ipswich will score too? Probably, because everyone scores against Wolves.
I could come out of retirement and score against Wolves, that’s how bad their backline is.
In fact, I actually think I would score more than one and I am 51.
Wolves have got some talented players but, as I’ve said previously, you cannot concede the amount of
