17:00 - 19:00 ET– Barclays English Premier League: West Ham v Middlesbrough ***DELAY***
With the end of the season rapidly approaching, West Ham have only eight matches left to overcome the eight point gap between themselves and safety.

First, however, they will face Middlesbrough, who won this season’s reverse fixture 1-0 at the Riverside .

09:00 - 11:00 ET– Italian Serie A: Torino v Palermo ***DELAY***
Before the winter break, many considered Palermo to be legimate competition to Inter in the Scudetto race this season. However, Rosaneri have suffered a major reversal of fortunes and now find themselves winless in seven and desperately trying to hold on to their Champions League qualification spot. A win at the Stadio Olimpico would go a long way to restoring confidence. Palermo head north to take on Torino .
12:00 - 14:00 ET– Barclays English Premier League: Tottenham v Reading ***LIVE***
Reading take a long overdue trip to White Hart Lane, a venue they haven’t visited since the Royals last faced Spurs there way, WAY back in 1930. Both clubs are currently battling for a top 6 finish and European qualification is a realistic target.
15:30 - 17:30 ET– Italian Serie A: Cagliari v Messina ***DELAY***
Messina are fighting to esacpe relegation while Cagliari are in danger of falling into the danger zone. Messina are just 1 point away from safety. The Rossoblu can hardly claim a better record, just 2 places and 3 points better. Messina travel to the Stadio Sant’Elia to battle Cagliari .
