Current Champions of Europe, Chelsea, continue their defence of the trophy with a relatively straight-forward looking tie at Stamford Bridge tonight.
On top of that Champions League triumph back in May, the Blues have since been crowned World Club Champions and have the chance to add more silverware to the trophy cabinet with the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool looming large on Sunday.
But first they must take care of business in Europe and they could hardly have picked a better tie to progress to the last 16 of the competition.
French champions Lille have failed to reach the heights of last season's lockdown title and are struggling in 11th place in Ligue 1. They have been able to raise their game on the odd occasion this season but all too often they've been found wanting, winning just nine of their 25 league games.
The Blues can take advantage and should secure a comfortable first leg win but are just 3/10 for the victory. Striker Romelu Lukaku has come in for some criticism following his performance at Crystal Palace on Saturday when he touched the ball just seven times in 90 minutes, an all-time low for any player in the Premier League but he's been boosted to 4/1 by Bet365 to net first.
Thomas Tuchel might opt to take him out the firing line so someone like Jorginho, who has scored nine Premier League goals as well as a couple of Champions League penalties, could be better value to hit the net at 21/10.
Tonight's other Champions League match sees Villarreal host Juventus. The Italians topped Chelsea's group but were soundly beaten by four goals to nil at Stamford Bridge so they'll more than likely fall a little short of going deep in to the tournament but they're 8/13 favourites to qualify against the Spaniards.
El Submarino Amarillo have fared relatively well in La Liga this season and sit sixth in the table. They're in good form and could be dangerous opponents for Juve tonight.
Both sides have been strong defensively, conceding fewer than one goals per game in their league campaigns so this could be a low scorer. Under 0.5, 1.0 first half goals on the Asian Handicap pays 2.150.
Storm damage has forced the postponement of matches at Swansea and Fleetwood but there's plenty of other matches to get stuck in to in England.
West Brom are dropping down the Championship table at an alarming rate and even a change in manager hasn't arrested the slide. Just one win in 10 (W1 D3 L6) has seen them fall to 11th in the table and out of the promotion picture, while tonight's opponents Middlesbrough are heading in the other direction.
Since Chris Wilder's appointment Boro have picked up 27 points from a possible 42 and are genuine play-off contenders. Their home form has been pretty good too and will look to bounce back from Saturday's 2-1 reverse at Bristol City. Based on the form the 5/4 on a home win appeals.
Top of the table Rotherham should be solid acca picks in League One at home to struggling Morecmabe who have given manager Stephen Robinson permission to speak to St Mirren about their vacant managerial position.
Bolton‘s goalscoring exploits in League One have seen them climb back up the table in recent weeks. They've scored 19 in their last seven and are even money (Bet365) to score two or more against Lincoln City who have kept just two clean sheets in 31 league outings.
Be wary of Kelty Hearts at a short price at home to bottom side Cowdenbeath in Scottish League Two. The league leaders look like they've taken their eye off the ball a bit in recent weeks. Just two wins in their last five has allowed Forfar cut the gap at the top to six points, although Kelty still have a couple of games in hand.
Visitors Cowdenbeath may prop up the table and have six points to make up on Elgin, who they beat at the weekend but it's now three wins from four for the Blue Brazil and their tails will be up for a visit to New Central Park. Kelty could of course hammer the visitors but they're too short to back at 1/4 or to get involved in the handicaps and on the flipside a cheeky quid on Cowdenbeath at 10/1 might not be the worst longshot tonight.

Tuesday Australian A league tips
Just in case I’m still in my scratcher I’ll get these up just now. Melbourne city take on the central coast mariners, who are on a poor run away from home in the league. City bounced back from a disappointing 2-1 home loss to Adelaide with a more routine 3-0 win against the jets, and will be all out for the 3pts before they embark on a tough run of away fixtures (4 out of next 5 are away) although for the NAP I’m going slightly safe and keeping the draw onside. As usual I think we’ll also see the usual rake of corners and cards in a city game as well.

Macca first time using this bet. Does this mean if Chelsea win the first half 1-0 and the second half remains 1-0 this wins? Or do Chelsea need to win each half with at least one goal more than Lille?
Chelsea just need to be winning at full time it’s a winner anyway
Yeah if they win 1-0 at h/t,and they go on to win the game its a winner

Just posted a big piece on Cambridge vs Plymouth Argle but it disappeared ? (must remember to copy before posting)
Basically PA to win is my bet. 2.20 @bet365
They are flying of late. Cambridge without their main man Ironside and Argle averaging 2 goals away from home and pretty solid in defence.
BOL
Is this it Phil:
Hi all it has been a while since I had time to look at a game in depth, but today I am going to side with Plymouth Argle away to Cambridge.
Argle are absolutely flying and despite the departure of Lowery to Preston, Schumacher his assistant and now Manager has the boy’s purring and firing on all cylinders.
All strikers (Hardie, Jephcott, Garrick) are scoring of late, when their chances arrive and there is a feel good factor around Home park. But it is their away form which is impressing most scoring 34 in 17 away day’s averaging 2 goals per game.
Cambridge are also in good form but will be missing their topscorer Ironside who sits on 12 goals.
I expect the good momentum to continue and hopefully the green army will do the boy’s justice and turn up in numbers despite the long Tuesday night trip. ?⚽️
Plymouth Argle to win at 2.20 @bet365

Afternoon gents – a busy Tuesday night card and it’s the National League North that gets my vote:
GATESHEAD VS. FARSLEY CELTIC (7.45pm)
This one sees top side Gateshead take on bottom-feeders Farsley under the watchful eye of a windswept Angel of the North and it may well be more than prayers that are needed for the travelling West Yorkshiremen.
Gateshead are in fine scoring fettle and really fancy them to add a few more to their growing tally tonight:
GATESHEAD OVER 2.5 TEAM GOALS
(1/1, bet365) NAP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
GATESHEAD OVER 3.5 TEAM GOALS

Btts both halves
Reading v Birmingham 10/1
Bristol City v Coventry 10/1
Wycombe v Wigan 12/1
3 singles 3 doubles and a treble
Doncaster v Accrington Stanley
Summary : Tonight’s visitors play very direct football and are efficient at notching up their corner stats. Recent tallies against bottom half placed teams 10,8,9. Donny have generally been conceding a high number of corners, and barring last Saturdays failure to register one single corner v Sheffield Wednesday, have contributed to corner returns on home soil, including the recent two home fixtures against promotion chasing Rotherham (3) and Plymouth (4). Expecting both teams to contribute , with the visitors leading the way.
Accrington over team corners
5. 1/1
6. 15/8
7. 3/1
Doncaster over 10 match corners 1/1
Doncaster over 11 match corners 13/8
Sunderland v Burton
Summary : Sunderland’s downturn in form and manager issues haven’t prevented a decent return in corners, for and against . This evening visitors can be unpredictable in regards to either being rewarded or conceding corners, but generally either way it often lends itself to high corner counts. 5-9, 9-4, 10-5 last three away fixtures.
Sunderland over match corners
10. 5/6
11. 5/4
12. 9/4.
