Barcelona vs Porto - Champions League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction

Barcelona welcome Portuguese giants Porto to Catalonia in a meeting between the top two of Champions League Group H on Tuesday night.

Both clubs are level on nine points after four games while Shakhtar Donetsk are skulking behind in third place with six points. If Barcelona can secure a victory on home soil, they are guaranteed of a knockout-round berth. Porto would also qualify with a win if Shakhtar fail to defeat bottom side Antwerp on the same night.

Neither Barcelona nor Porto come into the contest in imperious form, with the hosts particularly out of sorts, adding to the angst of a decisive tie.

Barcelona vs Porto score prediction

Barcelona edged a controversial contest in Portugal by a single goal while Conceicao rued a raft of refereeing decisions. "We played against more than a club," the Porto coach seethed, nodding towards Barcelona's motto. "And that is all I have to say."

Porto will also be playing against History on Tuesday. The Iberian behemoths have not beaten Barcelona since 1985 when they came up against a side managed by the late Terry Venables.

The Catalans may have won eight of their nine home Games this season but Xavi was left lamenting his side's mentality after dropping points against Rayo on the weekend. With home advantage to lean upon, Barcelona are unlikely to lose this midweek but may not get the win to guarantee their place in the knockout stage just yet.

Prediction: Barcelona 0-0 Porto

Premier League team of the week: Gameweek 8

Image
Game week eight of the Premier League 2023/24 season was a banner one for north London clubs. Thanks to wins over Manchester City and Luton Town respectively, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur sit atop the league table heading into the October international break and are now the only unbeaten teams left in the division. Lower down the table there were also plenty of huge wins, match-winning performances and controversy (thankfully not as much as last week though). After another weekend of Premier League action, here's 90min's team of the week.

Tom Lockyer provides health update after cardiac arrest

Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer has given an update on his condition on New Year’s Eve and thanked the people who saved his life after suffering a cardiac arrest against Bournemouth on December 16. The 29-year-old, who will see specialists in the new year to determine what his next step will be, collapsed in the 59th minute of the Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium, resulting in the fixture being abandoned. The Welshman was discharged from hospital five days later following a successful procedure to fit an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. “I would just like to say that I am doing very well and feeling very much myself after the cardiac arrest I suffered in Bournemouth,” Lockyer wrote on social media. “The reason I’m doing so well is all down to the heroic actions of the players, staff, doctors and paramedics. “I feel thankful that this happened to me surrounded by these heroes. They saved my life. I will never forget what you did for me.” 📲 Tom Lockyer has provide

After just 45 minutes of Liverpool action since New Year’s Day, Mo Salah is back in team training with the Reds’ squad. The Egyptian could be seen smiling and moving freely as he trained ahead of Liverpool’s Europa League match against Sparta Prague. Along with the rest of the squad, he flies out to the Czech Republic late on Wednesday afternoon, ready for Thursday’s match which kicks off at 5.45pm (GMT), or 6.45pm local time. Last Friday, Jurgen Klopp said: “I don’t think Mo’s too far off, but he will not reach tomorrow, and from there we have to go. “Like with the other two (Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai), touch and go and that stays with Mo, unfortunately, a bit longer. “I think next week, at any point, it’s possible [he returns]. He’s on the way back definitely, but not there yet.” Nunez and Szoboszlai both came on against Nott’m Forest at the weekend, with the former scoring the winning goal. Despite returning to full training , it is unlikely that Salah will st
