Chelsea is waiting to discover if British record signing Enzo Fernandez has clearance to play against Fulham.

England quartet Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Raheem Sterling, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all fit and available but Joao Felix is still suspended.

Fulham will assess the fitness of deadline-day signings Sasa Lukic and Cedric Soares.

Head coach Marco Silva has no new injury concerns, with Neeskens Kebano the only long-term absentee.

Le Havre are on the edge of the Promotion Zone an will be hoping to find a place in the Blue spot when they travels to Stade Charlety to face the hosts, Paris FC in Round 21 of Ligue 2 on Monday.

With 32 points in the table, Le Havre won 8, drew 8 and lost 4 of their 20 Ligue 2 matches and are positioned at 6th in the table.

On the other side, Paris FC secured their chances to go past the second safe zone to enter the big league by winning 6 games in a row.

They are 4th in the table with 36 points after 19 Ligue 2 games. They won 11, drew 3 and lost 5 of their total league matches this season

Two teams in desperate need of three points will lock horns in Dusseldorf on Saturday afternoon as Fortuna Dusseldorf takes on SC Paderborn in the Bundesliga.

Germany's top flight has been on hold for more than two months due to the coronavirus outbreak, but the action will resume this weekend, and both of these sides will be determined to pick up a win.

Promoted from the second tier of German football at the end of the 2017-18 campaign, Dusseldorf finished 10th in the Bundesliga last season but have certainly found it more difficult in the top flight this term.

Five wins, seven draws and 13 defeats - that is how Uwe Rosler's side have performed in the league this season, picking up 22 points from their 25 matches to occupy 16th spot in the table, four points off 15th-placed Mainz.

Experienced attacker Nani was unavailable for Melbourne Victory last weekend because of injury, and this game may end up coming too quickly for him to make a return to the side, especially from the first whistle.

However, Popovic could choose to hand a debut to new signing Bruce Kamau who has joined the club on loan for the remainder of the season, boosting their attacking options.

Despite the fact that Wellington Phoenix did try to contest the VAR decision to send Payne off last weekend, the ruling was made that it will still stand and his one-game suspension will take place this Friday.

That will result in at least one change to the starting lineup from the draw against Perth Glory, with Finn Surman being a likely option to slot in at the back this time around.

Nice head into this match with 28 points. They are positioned in the 10th seat as of today and their record right now has seen them pick up seven wins, six losses, and seven draws over the course of 20 matches. The team has drawn in five of their most recent 10 matches and they have netted a total of 23 goals so far, giving up 20. Their top players Andy Delort and Nicolas Pepe have scored six and six respectively. In their most recent match on Sunday, Nice took all three points from Lille OSC 1-0.

There have been some promising signs for the U's at certain points, going on a run of 10 games without defeat earlier this season, although they drew six of these, struggling to close games out after taking the lead.

Another issue for Karl Robinson's side has been inconsistency, best displayed by the fact they have beaten third-placed Ipswich Town and fifth-placed Bolton Wanderers, but looked very poor against teams at the other end of the table, drawing with Forest Green Rovers and losing to MK Dons.

The U's would have been hoping that their 2-1 triumph against Ipswich towards the end of January was a turning point in their season, with that result taking them up to 10th place in the table and in reach of the playoffs.

However, Oxford have now lost their last two matches without conceding a goal, the first of which coming in a 2-0 defeat at Wycombe Wanderers, before losing by the same scoreline against Burton Albion at the weekend.

Waalwijk had far too much for quality for FC Emmen as they cruised to a convincing 2-0 triumph when the sides faced off on Saturday evening.

Joseph Oosting's men broke the deadlock after only three minutes through Michiel Kramer, after which Julian Lelieveld made it two just shy of the half-hour mark.

With 22 points amassed from their 18 matches this term, RKC currently sits 10th in the Eredivisie table, albeit a whopping eight points shy of the final Conference League playoff spot.

Up next is the challenge of an opposing outfit without a victory in the most recent six meetings between the teams across all competitions.

Off the back of consecutive home clean sheets for the first time in over two years, Wednesday's hosts will be aiming to keep things tight at the back en route to a positive result once again.

Go Ahead Eagles came away empty-handed for the second game running courtesy of a 2-0 defeat against PSV Eindhoven at the Philips Stadion on Saturday.

High-flying Lorient will go in search of a seventh consecutive victory in Ligue 1 when they welcome managerless Reims to the Stade du Moustoir on Saturday afternoon.

Les Merlus came from behind to beat Brest 2-1 last weekend, while the visitors managed to hold 10-man Paris Saint-Germain to a goalless draw.

Seeking to pick up a fourth consecutive win for the first time since December 2021, Union SG square off against Braga at the Estadio Braga Municipal in Group D of the Europa League.

The home side head into the midweek clash fresh off the back of suffering their first defeat of the season and will be looking to quickly bounce back to winning ways.

There are some significant absentees for the visitors, including Georginio Wijnaldum, Nicolo Zaniolo, Marash Kumbulla and Stephan El Shaarawy.

Nicola Zalewski became the latest addition to the infirmary for Roma after picking up an injury against Ludogorets. Tammy Abraham is back from a shoulder injury and should start. Ebrima Darboe, meanwhile, faces a late fitness test.

Injured: Georginio Wijnaldum, Nicolo Zaniolo, Marash Kumbulla, Stephan El Shaarawy, Nicola Zalewski

Doubtful: Ebrima Darboe

Zurich are the reigning champions of the Swiss Super League, but they have been in such a mess lately. They are on a long stretch of poor performances, and are under huge pressure. Meanwhile, PSV are on a great streak of results, and are easily the favorites this Thursday. 

They started their European campaign kind of slow, as they recorded a draw in their opener against Bodo. However, they are in great form in the Dutch top flight. 

Currently they are placed third in the table, and they have a 100% winning record barring just two fixtures. They also scored the most number of goals of all the teams in the competition, and need a surplus of just two points to climb level with the toppers. 

Even the earlier season they missed out on the title by a whisker. They were short of just two points below the champions. 

Meanwhile, Zurich are currently the worst team in the Swiss top flight. They are placed bottom-most in the table, and they have a 100% winless record so far. In fact, barring just three draws, they have a 100% losing record. 

They are also letting in goals in huge numbers, and even so in front of their home crowd.  

Two weeks ago, Atlanta United played one of the most lackluster games of their entire existence (not even exaggerating), and pretty much wrote off any hope of playoff qualification in the eyes of basically everyone. Two matches and six points later, the Five Stripes sit within striking distance of the top seven, even just three points back from fifth, albeit with an additional game played. Some fortunate results and continued form could very well see Atlanta shockingly into the postseason.

LAFC is 0-1-2 all-time in Minnesota, making the Loons one of two opponents the team has visited at least three times and never beaten. LA Galaxy is the other (0-5-2).

LAFC's appeal of a red card issued to defender Ryan Hollingshead in Saturday's 2-1 loss to FC Dallas was denied, leaving him suspended for this game.

I believe we are going to have a close game here, with the tie being an attractive option.  However, let's take a little insurance and grab United. 

Defensively Madrid has already put up two shutouts in their first three games. Real has also done that but it's that loss against Barcelona that has me staying away from Real. 

I'm going to take the insurance here even though the raw money looks enticing.  

This is going to be a match-up where Real Sociedad is looking ahead,  Elche has lost 4 of their last 5 games. In order for this game to start close, Elche must play well defensively and we know Sociedad will bring their #1 defense into this one. This should be a low scoring, sleepy, affair. 

The host San Jose Earthquakes can solidify their place in the top eight of Major League Soccer's Western Conference with a win Wednesday night against Real Salt Lake, which can move into a playoff position if they get the three points on the road. Real Salt Lake (5-7-7, 22 points) have one win in their past six matches, a victory on the road at third-place Portland two weeks ago. The overall series between the teams is just about even, as San Jose is 12-11-11 against RSL all-time after a 5-2 Quakes win in the MLS Is Back Tournament in July.
