A slew of Premier League matches are on tap for Wednesday and several European powerhouses are also in cup action for some exciting matchups to watch.
League leader Chelsea are visiting West Ham United at Boleyn Ground, while Manchester City and Manchester United will take on Leicester City and Newcastle United, respectively.
Other Premier League sides competing today include Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton.
Elsewhere, PSG will host Monaco in the Coupe de France, Villarreal will take on Barcelona in the Copa del Rey and Lazio will square off against Napoli in the Coppa Italia. Bayern Munich will also face Eintracht Braunschweig in the DFB Pokal.

LOL @ the diving by DC United, stay classy mls.
Looks like Geoff Cameron is on as an injury replacement at CB.
Ugh, what a terrible half for the women…they look totally lost out there. Slow, dull, lacking ideas.
Good news is, time to turn on an EPL game.
Regardless of the comeback by the Women, we still look terrible. Ellis is not a good coach, and has no idea what lineup the use and which system is best for her player pool. If we play like this against Germany, or Brazil, or France we will get beaten easily.
Ellis keeps wanting to have Krieger, a player I like, be the service provider up the right flank. it’s just not working but not her fault. it’s not like it’s been a big part of her game before.
actually think Ellis did well to put Lloyd inside where she played well. the 2nd half saw the Women move the ball quicker but will need to play better
once Rapinoe is woven back into the fabric that will help, probably Abby’s starting spot but not her position imo
It will be nice to get to watch Fabian Johnson play in the DFB Pokal today for a change today.
The Premier League hit a lull for me right now. Underachievers in European competition. Chelsea will win the title, Man City will come 2nd as they get their tactics wrong too often. Arsenal should hold for 3rd or 4th. The relegation spots will predictably be a combo of Burnley, Leichester, QPR, and Villa. The last CL spot will come from boring Man U, defensive-minded Southampton, or Liverpool which has actually been the most interesting and entertaining side of late. However, they trail significantly on goal difference.
I had the same thought, but Fabian Johnson is on the bench.
Bummer. Especially after he had a goal and was heavily involved in their 2nd goal over the weekend. Hopefully he makes a cameo in the 2nd half.
USA v NOR on FS1
was about to say it was pretty harsh for them not to include that game.
the game I’m watching live
Ellis has no idea what she’s doing. Still starting Lloyd as a wide midfielder, and Wambach up top..smh.
are you referring to the same Lloyd that scored a brace to lead us to victory?…
