This week matches

Manchester City vs Brentford - Wednesday, 17 December 2025

league: England - EFL Cup

Winner of the League Cup continuously from 2018 to 2021, Manchester City is logically considered one of the favorites this season. In order to reach the quarter-finals, Pep Guardiola's gang won on the lawns of Huddersfield 0-2 and Swansea 1-3. In the championship, the Skyblues are in the fight for the title. Once lagging behind Arsenal, they have recently raised the bar, which allows them to be ranked 2nd in the Premier League today, 2 points behind the Gunners. Manchester City have won their last four matches against Leeds 3-2, Fulham 4-5, Sunderland 3-0 and Crystal Palace last weekend 0-3. In the previous rounds, Brentford defeated Bournemouth 0-2, Aston Villa 1-1, qualifying on penalties and Grimsby 0-5.

But this trip to the den of Manchester City appears very difficult to negotiate. 14th in the Premier League with 6 points behind the last European seat and 7 ahead of the first relegation, the Bees are vegetating in the soft underbelly of the ranking. They are slowing down these days, as evidenced by the only success acquired over the last 5 days, for 1 draw and 3 defeats. After losing at Arsenal 2-0 and Tottenham 2-0, Brentford were held to a draw at home by Leeds last weekend 1-1.

Newcastle vs Fulham - Wednesday, 17 December 2025

league: England - EFL Cup

Last year, Newcastle created a surprise by winning this League Cup. Eddie Howe's men intend to sell their skin dearly to retain the title this season. In previous rounds, they were able to count on the fervent support of Saint James Park to dismiss Bradford City 4-1 and Tottenham 2-0. The Magpies, however, are behind on their league table. They are currently 12th in the Premier League and concede 4 units of spending on the last European folding seat. After going 4 games without a setback, 3 wins and 1 draw, Newcastle suffered a setback in the derby at Sunderland last weekend 1-0.

Rather spared by the draw until now, Fulham overcame Bristol City 2-0, Cambridge United 1-0 and Wycombe 1-1, qualifying following penalties in the previous rounds of the League Cup. This trip to the title holder is a difficult meeting to negotiate. The London team now occupies 13th place in the Premier League, 6 points behind the last European side and 7 ahead of the first relegation place. More consistent in recent weeks, the Cottagers have pocketed 4 victories in the last 7 days, for 3 defeats. After losing to Manchester City 4-5 and Crystal Palace 1-2, they won at relegated Burnley last weekend 2-3.

Luzern vs Basel - Wednesday, 17 December 2025

league: Switzerland - Super League

Lucerne, 10th in the Super League, drags its doubts and remains stuck in a negative spiral, while Basel, 4th, is taking small steps but still keeps the podium in its sights. A shock scheduled for Wednesday evening, at 8:30 p.m., live from the Swissporarena!Lucerne arrives with low morale... Beaten on Sunday at Wankdorf by Young Boys 2-0, Mario Frick's men have just suffered a 4th defeat in 5 days. Zürich 3-2, Winterthur 1-3, Thun 4-1… the list is growing, and the draw against Servette 2-2 is a slight improvement. The problem is profound: 14 goals conceded in 5 matches, a defense as permeable as Swiss cheese, and an attack far too timid to compensate for 6 goals scored during the period. Lucerne is looking down and already seems condemned to navigate the second half of the table!Opposite, Basel is progressing slowly, perhaps too much even.

.. The goalless draw conceded against Lausanne 0-0 is the 3rd split in 5 days for Ludovic Magnin's men. Certainly, with only 1 defeat over the period, but an insufficient pace if they wish to keep the pace set in front. With only 6 points taken out of 15, the Basel residents are stagnating... without sinking. Traveling to a fragile opponent and normally within reach, the objective is clear for Basel: not to lose and leave with something under your arm!
