Chelsea's European hopes hang in the balance as they visit Brighton on Tuesday, with the Blues sitting just one point ahead in 6th place but facing a team that has become their bogey opponent - Brighton has won each of their last three meetings. Chelsea's recent scoring struggles (failing to find the net in over six hours of Premier League action) could prove costly against a Brighton side that's been consistently dangerous in attack, making this a crucial match in the race for Europa League qualification. With Champions League qualification now looking unlikely after their weekend defeat to Manchester United, Chelsea desperately needs to end their nightmare run against the Seagulls to keep their European ambitions alive.

Real Madrid, sitting in 2nd place with 70 points, hosts relegation-threatened Deportivo Alavés (17th, 33 pts) in what should be a routine victory for one of your followed clubs - Los Blancos have won their last eight matches against Alavés and scored in 8 of their last 9 home games. The match has added intrigue for you as USMNT stars Weston McKennie and Gio Reyna are confirmed squad members for Alavés this season, giving the American contingent a chance to test themselves against Real Madrid's star-studded lineup. With Alavés fighting to avoid relegation, this represents a crucial opportunity for the visiting side to pick up points against difficult opposition.
