Leicester - Arsenal (live on Sport2)
The Gunners ended a four-match winless streak with Birmingham's dramatic 4-2 win over Aston Villa last week, but if they are to at least maintain their two-point lead at the top of Manchester City, they cannot afford to drop points to the Foxes, who they held in the previous round After two consecutive victories in the Premier League when they surrendered at Old Trafford 3:0 to Manchester United.
Gabriel Martinelli returned to Mikel Arteta's lineup at the expense of Eddie Anketier, Thomas Partey on the bench.
Arsenal have beaten Leicester in all four of their last meetings in the league, winning by at least two goals in all games.
On the other hand, James Maddison is absent from Leicester and this is a significant disadvantage for Brendan Rodgers who is only 4 points away from the red line.

the progress of the game
26 min: Trussard fires into the net from the 16-yard line to score Arsenal's first, but the screen referees intervene after spotting a foul on goalkeeper Ward in the process, and the goal is disallowed.
46th minute: Goal, 0:1 to Arsenal!
A quick attack on the right wing ended with Trussard's pass to Martinelli, who with a beautiful finish diagonally into the far corner, scored the guest's advantage goal.
A clean network is also a goal for Citi today.

Bournemouth - Manchester City (19:30, Sport1)
Manchester City was missing Kevin de Brauna on Wednesday in Leipzig and without him finished 1:1 in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League and registered a second game in a row without a win, after losing very valuable points in the league against Nottingham Forest who tied it 1:1 towards the end.
City conceded a fourth game in a row in the first real threat to their goal and Pep Guardiola will surely hope that his players keep a clean sheet against one of the weakest attacking teams in the league, which last week surprised Wolves with a 0:1 away and thus rose above the red line.
De Brauna, who is very doubtful for the match, as is Emerick Laporte, Phil Foden and Julian Albers may return to the team and it will be interesting to see if Erling Holland will be rested after the 90 minutes in Germany in the middle of the week, also in light of the fact that Manchester City has beaten Bournemouth in all 12 meetings between them that have been held since then October 2015.

Crystal Palace - Liverpool (21:45, Sport1)
Liverpool felt that they were coming back to themselves after two consecutive victories over zero in the league and their confidence must have been at its peak when they took a double lead over Real Madrid at Anfield, but as we know they ended up being defeated 5:2 at Anfield - one of the biggest losses in their history - and now Jurgen Klopp has to reassure his players for the meeting Against Patrick Vieira's team, who in their last ten games in all competitions managed to beat only Bournemouth.
After two results, Palace drew against Brighton and Brentford and in the previous round they came back from Anfield with a point, but lost to the Meatiards in all four of the last games in which they hosted them, including 7:0 in December 2020. Other
