Liverpool vs Leeds
Where: Anfield, Liverpool, UK
When: 18:45 GMT
Leeds are not in high form coming to Anfield in the crucial game against the Reds, who are languishing in eighth place after 11 games.
Despite an impressive 3-0 away win over Ajax in the Champions League in midweek, the Red Devils will be plagued by a 0-1 loss to bottom team Nottingham Forest last Saturday.
It was a must-win for Jurgen Klopp, with Leeds having lost their last four Premier League games. A win would help the Reds close the gap on the Premier League leaders, but a loss could send them down to the bottom half of the table.
Liverpool beat Leeds 6-0 when the two teams last met in February.

Where: Mestalla, Valencia, Spain
When: 19:00 GMT

The Catalan side will be eager to secure a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League as they face a Valencia side that has failed to win in their last three matches.
Valencia, who are ranked 9th in La Liga, will look to star Edison Cavani to make a difference. The Uruguayan striker has scored in their last three matches.
Barcelona beat Valencia 4-1 in their last meeting in February with a hat-trick from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
