Already storming their way to a Europa Conference League knockout stage ticket, Brian Priske's side have registered 10 points from their five group stage appearances. Last seen in European action landing a 2-1 win away at Romanian outfit Universitatea Craiova, Sparta should also be excited by their defensive steel. Landing a 1-0 win against Legia Warsaw last month, Sparta have shipped just three Europa Conference League goals this year.

Starting with the hosts, while Sporting Gijon might have found themselves at the heart of a worrying rut on either side of November's international break, Borja Jimenez's side have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion over the past fortnight. Last seen over the weekend putting in another gritty performance as they secured a 1-0 victory at home against Granada, Los Rojiblancos have found a route back into the play-off places.

Sunderland are aiming to stay above Newcastle when the neighbours meet in the Premier League on Sunday. The Black Cats start the day 10th in the table and remain unbeaten at home in this season's top flight. Newcastle are unbeaten in four matches in all competitions, including a 2-2 draw at Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday. 101GreatGoals.com has full team news from Sunderland vs Newcastle in the Premier League, as well as details on how to watch the action live.

Starting with the hosts, eventually storming their way to what was a routine 4-1 romp away at rock-bottom Wolves last time out, Manchester United will be dreaming of a repeat performance here. However, although Ruben Amorim's men might have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous nine consecutive Premier League appearances, it is no secret that the Red Devils are still searching for some much-welcomed stability.

Starting with the hosts, claiming what was a much-welcomed boost earlier in the week as they snatched a 1-0 victory away at Pisa, Parma will be desperate to use that gritty performance as a platform to build on. However, despite eventually dragging themselves over the finish line last season as they clung to their Serie A status, it appears that the Crusaders could be destined for another relegation scrap this time around.

It's normal that the mood drifted a bit [during a run of six defeats in seven matches], but it should be like this at a club like this. Liverpool are still a top-class side and the reigning champions. There is lots of fluctuation and, over the course of 38 games, you will have times when you don't have your best performance.

Everton are back at home this evening against a Newcastle side who have struggled on the road this season. The Toffees picked up a huge win against Manchester United at Old Trafford last time out, and sit on the fringes of the top half of the Premier League table. On top of that, they have the chance to extend their advantage over Newcastle in the standings to six points, with the Magpies languishing deep in the bottom half.
