Both Inter Milan and AC Milan will be looking for some leftover adrenaline from their thrilling weekend matchup, as they find themselves in stiff Coppa Italia quarterfinal matchups this week.
AC Milan, the winner of Saturday’s Milan Derby, hosts Lazio on Wednesday while Inter Milan locks horns with Jose Mourinho’s Roma on Tuesday to headline the action. Defending champion Juventus has a little bit more of a predictable matchup and should be heavily favored to move past Sassuolo on Thursday.
Cup action also garners the headlines in Spain this week, where the Copa del Rey quarterfinals play out with a remaining field devoid of domestic superpowers. La Liga promotion side Rayo Vallecano hosts Real Betis on Wednesday, and last year’s runner-up Athletic Club hosts Valencia on Thursday.
In the English Premier League, Thursday’s Wolverhampton – Arsenal contest headlines the action. Both have credible arguments to claw back into England’s Champions League picture and should view the game as a must-win.

This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
1. AC Milan vs Lazio – Milan should be on a high after bringing its rival down to earth in the Serie A ranks. Can the Rossoneri string together two big wins in a row? It could change the trajectory of their season if so.
2. Inter Milan vs Roma – Inter Milan needs to have a short memory. Shaking off Saturday’s derby loss will not be easy to do, and Roma is talented enough to punish Inter for bringing anything less than its A-game.
3. Wolverhampton vs Arsenal – These two are in the crowd fighting to round out England’s UCL picture and should be desperate to return to Premier League action on a positive note.
4. Liverpool vs Leicester City – By the time this game kicks off, Leicester will have not won in over a month, and was last seen taking a lopsided upset loss to Nottingham Forest over the weekend. How hot will Brendan Rodgers’ chair be heading into Thursday?
5. Athletic Club vs Valencia – Athletic Club came close last year and should be the most motivated in the remaining pack of Copa del Rey contenders.
