13.04. (Sat) 17:00 Troyes - Paris Saint Germain
ESTAC TROYES
Thuram-Ulien
Colin, Jarjat, Brechet, Othon
Yamissi, Thiago
Faussurier, Nivet, Camus
Marcos
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
Sirigu
Van der Wiel, Sakho, T. Silva, Maxwell
Lucas Moura, Verratti, Matuidi, Pastore
Lavezzi, Gameiro
Troyes could be without up to four players for the visit of Paris Saint-Germain to Stade de l'Aube on Saturday.
Jean-Christophe Bahebeck was already ineligible to face his parent club and Corentin Jean, Granddi N'Goyi and Stephane Drouil are all sidelined for the bottom side.
Meanwhile, PSG boss Carlo Ancelotti is likely to rotate his side following their Champions League exit to Barcelona in midweek. Zlatan Ibrahimovic will serve a one-match suspension.
The likes of Blaise Matuidi - suspended against the Catalans - Kevin Gameiro, Mamadou Sakho and Gregory van der Wiel are all in line for starts, as the Parisiens turn their attentions to domestic honours.
DID YOU KNOW?
Troyes sit in 20th position in Ligue 1, with 25 points amassed. They are six points adrift with seven games to go.
The hosts lost 1-0 to fellow relegation strugglers Nancy last weekend, their only defeat in the last four games.
Troyes have only ever lost one league fixture at home to PSG, and are unbeaten in last two - the last of those coming in a 1-1 draw in 2006.
Paris Saint-Germain will be searching for a win to take them further clear of Olympique de Marseille at the top of the table.
Should Marseille lose to Lille this weekend and PSG beat Troyes, Carlo Ancelotti's side would only require two further victories to seal a first title since 1994.
PSG's Champions League exit at midweek means they have only the Coupe de France and Ligue 1 to fight for. They face Evian in the Coupe next week.
Prediction
Paris Saint-Germain return to Ligue 1 proud of their achievements following the Champions League exit to Barcelona and with bottom-side Troyes lying in wait for them on Saturday, Ancelotti and his men will have to consider this a sure victory if they are to go ten points clear of Marseille come Sunday. Ibrahimovic may be suspended, but this should be a walk in the park.
Editor's Prediction
Troyes 0-3 PSG
13.04. (Sat) 16:00 Arsenal - Norwich
ARSENAL
Fabianski
Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Monreal
Arteta, Ramsey
Gervinho, Cazorla, Podolski

Bunn
Martin, Turner, Bassong, Garrido
Bennett, Howson, Johnson, Snodgrass
Hoolahan
Holt
Arsenal's Theo Walcott (groin) and Jack Wilshere (ankle) are in contention for the visit of the Canaries, though whether or not Arsene Wenger risks them from the off remains to be seen, even with last week's matchwinner Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) described as "50-50" for the match by the Gunners boss.
Otherwise, the home side will be missing Per Mertesacker after he was sent off against West Brom last week, while Abou Diaby (knee) remains sidelined for the foreseeable.
With John Ruddy (hip) still out, Norwich manager Chris Hughton will be sweating on the fitness of Mark Bunn (groin) after third-choice goalkeeper Lee Camp was called into action after just 15 minutes last week against Swansea.
Andrew Surman (knee) continues to miss out for the visitors, though fellow midfielder Anthony Pilkington (hamstring) is available for selection.
DID YOU KNOW?
Since Christmas, Arsenal have scored in every game bar the 2-0 loss to Manchester City.
The Gunners have won seven of their last nine games and are second only to runaway leaders Manchester United in the form table.
When Arsene Wenger's side have scored first in the league this season, they have never lost a game.
90 per cent of Olivier Giroud's Premier League goals this season have been scored at the Emirates Stadium.
The last time the two teams met at the Emirates Stadium the game ended in a 3-3 draw, with Steve Morison firing in a late equaliser for the visitors.
Norwich have just two players who have scored five Premier League goals this season (Holt and Snodgrass), whereas the Gunners have six (Walcott, Giroud, Podolski, Cazorla, Gervinho, Arteta).
The visitors have won only once in the Premier League since Christmas, drawing seven of their last 11 games.
The Canaries have also only scored just twice away from home since the start of the year.
If the Premier League were based solely on second-half results, Norwich would be 18th in the table, with just 33 points.
Arsenal are 9/1 to beat Norwich 3-1 with bet365.
13.04. (Sat) 16:00 Reading - Liverpool
READING
Federici

Robson-Kanu, Karacan, Guthrie, McAnuff
Le Fondre, Pogrebnyak
LIVERPOOL
Reina
Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Enrique
Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson
Coutinho, Sturridge, Suarez
Reading continue to be without Jason Roberts (thigh) and Jimmy Kebe (groin), while Hope Akpan is struggling with a knock picked up in the defeat to Southampton last week.
Pavel Pogrebnyak may replace him, joining Adam Le Fondre in a two-pronged attack.
Liverpool have doubts over Stewart Downing (illness), with Daniel Sturridge set to step up to Brendan Rodgers' front-line.
Youngster Raheem Sterling (thigh) has been ruled out, while Fabio Borini, Joe Allen and Martin Kelly will all miss the rest of the season.
DID YOU KNOW?
Reading last hosted Liverpool in the Premier League in December 2007, where goals from Stephen Hunt, Kevin Doyle and James Harper gave the eventually relegated Royals a 3-1 win over the Reds. Steven Gerrard struck for the visitors.
From that matchday squad, only Nicky Shorey and Adam Federici remain at the club.
Only Wigan have conceded more goals at home than Reading this season.
The Royals' central-midfielders have only contributed two goals in the Premier League this season, while Liverpool captain Gerrard already has nine to his name.
Only Manchester United and Tottenham have scored more goals away from home in the league than the Reds this season.
There has never been a goalless draw between these two sides in nine meetings.
Liverpool are 10/1 to beat Reading 3-1 with bet365.
13.04. (Sat) 15:30 Greuther Furth - Borussia D.

Weidenfeller
Grosskreutz, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer
Kehl, Sahin
Kuba, Leitner, Reus
Schieber
Greuther Furth will be without a host of players for the visit of last season's champions. Zoltan Stieber and Michael Hefele are both in training, but unfit, Matthias Zimmermann is suspended and Sebastian Tyrala has a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Dortmund, meanwhile, will make a host of changes from their team against Malaga in midweek, with Kevin Grosskreutz, Nuri Sahin, Sebastian Kehl, Moritz Leitner and Julian Schieber all making starts.
Mats Hummels should get a run out in defence after making his comeback from injury. Patrick Owomoyela remains sidelined.
DID YOU KNOW?
Greuther Furth have yet to win a home game in the Bundesliga this season.
A fourth-tier Furth ran out 3-1 winners against Borussia Dortmund in the first round of the 1990 DFB-Pokal.
The Bavarians need six more points to avoid recording the lowest-ever Bundesliga points total.
Borussia Dortmund beat Furth in last season's DFB-Pokal semi-final thanks to a last-second Ilkay Gundogan goal.
Robert Lewandowski has scored in his last 10 Bundesliga games, leaving him six off Gerd Muller's all-time record of 16.
Dortmund recorded a 3-1 home victory over Furth back in November, with Lewandowski scoring the only penalty of his Bundesliga career.
Prediction
Greuther Furth are longed for the 2. Bundesliga, and although Dortmund will be resting a host of stars, the deposed champions should have no problem in seeing off inferior opposition at the Trolli Arena.
Editor's Prediction
Greuther Furth 0-2 Dortmund
13.04. (Sat) 15:30 Bayern Munchen - Nurnberg
BAYERN
Neuer
Rafinha, Boateng, Dante, Alaba
Javi Martinez, Tymoshchuk

Schafer
Balitsch, Nilsson, Klose, Pinola
Simons
Chandler, Kiyotake, Feulner, Esswein

Bayern Munich are set to rest a host of players with Tuesday's DFB-Pokal clash with Wolfsburg on the horizon. Tom Starke may replace Manuel Neuer in goal, but at the back, Jerome Boateng is certain to replace Daniel Van Buyten, who limped off against Juventus in midweek.
Rafinha could also start ahead of Philipp Lahm at right-back, while Diego Contento could replace David Alaba on the opposite side of defence. Bastian Schweinsteiger is likely to to be rested, and with Luiz Gustavo suspended, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk is in line for a rare start in midfield.
Franck Ribery should get a break on the left flank, while Mario Gomez will start ahead of Mario Mandzukic. Toni Kroos (thigh) and Holger Badstuber (knee) are both out.
Meanwhile, Nurnberg will be without Adam Hlousek and Marcos Antonio, who are both struggling for fitness and Timo Gebhart, who has a thigh issue.
DID YOU KNOW?
Bayern Munich have scored 24 goals in their five home games since the resumption of action after the winter break.
The Roten are also in search of their 100th Bundesliga win at the Allianz Arena. Their current record stands at 99 victories in 133 matches.
Bayern ended up reaching their third Champions League semi-final in four years after knocking out Juventus in midweek.
Nurnberg have lost to Bayern more times than to any other opponent in the Bundesliga.
Markus Feulner started his career at Bayern. He represented Koln, Mainz and Dortmund before moving back to Bavaria in 2011.
No Bundesliga defender has scored more times than Per Nilsson this season. The Swede has found the net five times.
Prediction
Bayern may be set to rest a host of stars, but even with Nurnberg in good form, die Roten will be simply too good for their opponents and should chalk up Bundesliga victory No.100 at the Allianz Arena with ease.
Editor's Prediction
Bayern 2-0 FC Nürnberg
