All square following a tense first leg, old foes Inter Milan and AC Milan meet for the fifth and final time this season when they conclude their Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday.
Both beaten at the weekend, the city rivals reconvene at San Siro for another Derby della Madonnina, with the winner set for a place in next month's final.
As Liverpool players and fans watch on with bated breath, Arsenal can prolong the Premier League title 'fight' for a little while longer by beating Crystal Palace in Wednesday's London derby at the Emirates.
The Gunners kept the Reds waiting by hitting Ipswich Town for four over the Easter weekend, while the Eagles and Bournemouth shook hands on a 0-0 draw following yet another dose of refereeing controversy.
The Rossoneri face their last chance to stay in contention for silverware in what has been a disappointing season, having only lifted the Supercoppa Italiana. They take on the Nerazzurri away, following a 1-1 draw at home in the first leg earlier this month.
Earlier media reports had suggested that Serie A might make an exception for Inter Milan's clash with visitors AS Roma to allow Simone Inzaghi's side additional rest time ahead of their midweek Champions League semifinal at Barcelona.
The meagre prize on offer is delaying Liverpool’s title celebrations but the manager denied he could wrap members of his squad in cotton wool. “We cannot think in those terms,” Arteta said.
What could be a preview of next month's FA Cup final looked set to end level as City struggled to find a way through the Villa defence after Marcus Rashford cancelled out Bernardo Silva's early opener from the penalty spot.
Hansi Flick opted to make significant changes ahead of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, with the likes of Hector Fort, Eric Garcia and even Ansu Fati getting a start to allow regular starters a well-earned rest.
Monday's result was their 39th consecutive unbeaten league game away from Parc des Princes, beating Fabio Capello’s Milan’s 38-game unbeaten streak in 1993. AS Monaco are the last team to beat PSG in Ligue 1 away from Paris. It was more than two years ago.

The Premier League's top five will qualify for Europe's elite club competition next season and with Arsenal in a strong position to seal their spot alongside Liverpool, a fascinating race is developing with the next five clubs separated by only two points.
Tottenham found themselves 2-0 down after 16 minutes and although they dominated the game thereafter and got a late lifeline through Richarlison, it proved another tale of woe in a season that could become Tottenham's worst in terms of points gained since they managed only 44 in 1997-98.
The small section of traveling fans did not have to wait long for their breakthrough, despite an injury to the face of Aitor Ruibal. Early pressure resulted in a corner from Isco being converted by Johnny Cardoso inside eight minutes.
There were four games set to be played on Monday, but they were called off when news broke that Pope Francis had died at the age of 88.
It was occasioned by the need to wait for the final score from Turf Moor, where Burnley beat Sheffield United to join Leeds in the top tier while consigning Chris Wilder’s side to the playoffs.
Scott Parker decided it was more sensible to chisel their way out, inch by inch, completing their route to freedom with a tense victory against Sheffield United.

Saka spent three months out with a hamstring injury this season, only just returning in time to help Arsenal past Real Madrid and into the Champions League semifinals.
The full-back, who has yet to sign a new contract and been heavily linked with a free transfer move to Real Madrid at the end of the season, struck 14 minutes from time at King Power Stadium after the leaders had been frustrated by the doomed Foxes.
Inhibited no more, their quality took over as they moved down the right, Enzo Fernández and Cole Palmer swapping passes before the ball came to Pedro Neto to round things off with a finish that left no room for any debate.

Liverpool know they can win the Premier League on Sunday afternoon if they beat Leicester City and Arsenal lose to Ipswich Town earlier in the day.
With the Reds needing just six points to clinch their second Premier League crown, defeat for the Gunners at Portman Road followed by victory for themselves at the King Power Stadium ensures they can't be usurped in top spot. Even if Arsenal win, Liverpool will move within one victory of glory if they triumph in the East Midlands. (Source: 90min.com)
The inevitable outcome of Leicester City heading back to the Championship could soon be upon us. The Foxes need to win to avoid being relegated on Matchday 33, so it is not the ideal time to have to face runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool at the King Power Stadium.
Getting to Lisbon for a shot at another final win will be far from straightforward for Barcelona, and not just because unlike in the two previous last-four encounter, Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh will be in the Chelsea squad rather than the Blaugrana line-up.
Chelsea have shown a Barcelona-like belief in sweeping all before them this season, summed up by the incredible second-leg first-half display that turned their quarter-final tie with Man City, and they now have in charge the only coach to have stopped the Blaugrana in this competition in the last four years, Sonia Bompastor, who led Lyon to victory in the 2022 Turin final. (Source: Uefa.com)
For the first time in tournament history, the same teams meet in the semi-final for the third season running (though Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain have faced off at this stage four times overall). While Barcelona's wins against Chelsea in those semis were not as comprehensive as their 2021 final victory in Gothenburg that sealed their first title, they both featured victories at Stamford Bridge, last year overturning a deficit from the opening leg, and were soon followed by their second and third trophy lifts.
Chelsea continue their push towards Champions League qualification when they visit west London adversaries Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues enter the fixture in underwhelming form and significant pressure is mounting on Enzo Maresca.

They must respond with victory at Fulham. (Source: 90min.com)
Barcelona forward Clàudia Pina continues to lead the way in the race to finish as UEFA Women's Champions League top scorer with seven goals.
After registering five times in the group stage – against Hammarby (two), St. Pölten (two) and Manchester City (one) – Pina came off the bench to add to her tally with a low strike and a pinpoint free-kick in her side's 6-1 quarter-final second-leg win against Wolfsburg.
Among those following closely behind Pina are Lyon's Kadidiatou Diani and Arsenal duo Alessia Russo and Mariona Caldentey, each on six goals. The three players were in action in the first leg of their sides' semi-final tie on Saturday, with Diani notching the opener in north London with a drilled finish before Caldentey equalised with a penalty. Bayern's Pernille Harder is also on six, but she will be unable to add to her total as Bayern were knocked out by Lyon in the last eight.
A group of three players lie just behind the frontrunners, with Melchie Dumornay scoring her fifth of the season with a clinical strike for Lyon which secured victory against the Gunners. Signe Bruun of Real Madrid and Twente's Kayleigh van Dooren are also on five, though their sides have been eliminated. (Source: Uefa.com)

Finding himself 14 points from safety with six games left, Kieran McKenna will be ruing his side’s inability to hold onto leads. Of the three promoted clubs the Suffolk side have impressed most, but they’ve squandered a massive 27 points from winning positions, with just four victories obtained in their first season back at this level since 2001/02.
The win moved the Current to first place on the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) table and it marked the club’s ninth consecutive regular season victory for the longest regular season winning streak in NWSL history. Midfielder Lo’eau LaBonta opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 21st minute and defender Kayla Sharples headed home a corner kick in the 62nd minute for her first goal with the club.

The Liverpool head coach said on Sunday that Núñez was absent from the 2-1 victory at Anfield having felt unwell during training the day before, although the striker sat behind the substitutes throughout the game.
French international Baltimore arrived at Chelsea from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer with the reputation as a diminutive left-sided attacker with electric pace. Her compatriot Sonia Bompastor, partly in response to Niamh Charles's injury, deployed Baltimore at left-back and her performances there were a key part of Chelsea's superb start under their new coach.
Even since the recovery of Charles (herself a converted forward), Baltimore – though the 25-year-old has sometimes been used in an attacking role – has continued to be used at full-back. Wherever Baltimore is played, she will need to be at her best against a Barcelona side whose right flank usually is populated by Aitana Bonmatí and Caroline Graham Hansen. But Baltimore has shown, not least in the second leg against Manchester City, that she can deal with top-level attacking threats while surging forward to pin opponents back herself, starting the three-goal comeback when she pounced for the opener.

The Haiti forward's abilities were well known when, still a teenager, she was snapped up by Lyon in January 2023, spending the next 12 months on loan at Reims. In the second half of last season, Dumornay broke into the OL side, scoring in both legs of the semi-final win against Paris Saint-Germain (one strike voted fans' Goal of the Season), and she has been soaring in 2024/25, also striking home and away in the last-eight defeat of Bayern München.
Spearheading a thrilling attack flanked by Kadidatou Diani and Tabitha Chawinga (not to mention Lindsey Heaps, Ada Hegerberg and Eugénie Le Sommer), Dumornay combines skill, speed, strength and tactical flexibility, making her a nightmare to mark and opening space for team-mates. Arsenal are next in her sights. (Source: Uefa.com)
Like Baltimore, McCabe is a player who broke through as a winger but has subsequently been excellent at left-back. The Republic of Ireland captain's pace, crossing and set-piece prowess is married to a will to win, passion and determination that some might match but few can better.
A favourite of the fans at Arsenal, who she joined in December 2015 aged 20, McCabe has now passed 250 appearances for the Gunners and she was flawless in the quarter-final comeback against Real Madrid, winning 100% of her tackles in the second leg and setting up a goal with a free-kick. Lyon now await and McCabe will be ready to take on Dumornay and Co as well as posing their defenders a few problems of their own. (Source: Uefa.com)
All the three players above count pace among their attributes but none can quite match Paralluelo's feats in that sphere, as an international 400-metre hurdler for Spain before concentrating on football after her Barcelona switch in 2022. Since then the winger, still only 21, has won pretty much all there is to win with the Blaugrana, as well as Spain, adding senior honours to her full set of youth trophies.
After a prolific 2023/24, Paralluelo sat out the first part of this season to recover from a hectic few years for club and country since returning to football in January 2022 after a long absence due to an ACL injury. She was gradually reintroduced from December and is now looking better than ever, scoring in both legs of the comprehensive quarter-final defeat of Wolfsburg and again becoming as crucial a part of Barcelona's attack as any of their stars just in time for their latest semi-final encounter with Chelsea.
