Millions of eyes will get glued to their television screens tonight because it is the return of the Champions League. The competition enters its knockout phase and there is a lot at stake for the 16 remaining clubs in the competition. Valencia will lock horns with PSG at the Estadio de Mestalla, here is a look at how the two clubs may approach this game.

Tactics:

Valencia are most likely to play a 4-2-3-1 formation. Valencia have not been in a rich vein of form, they have managed to score 54 goals from 34 games this season. They are excessively dependent on a certain someone called Roberto Soldado to get them goals and there is every possibility in the world that PSG are well aware of this fact. Soldado has found the back of the net on 17 occasions this season, this is quite impressive for a striker. Ever Banega is expected to play just behind Soldado, the two players’ linkup really well.

Rafael Benitez’s escape route: five clubs where the Chelsea coach could fit

Abramovich might soon lose his patience with interim manager Rafael Benitez whose appointment last November was meant to straighten the path twisted during Roberto Di Matteo’s last days at the club.

Unpopular Rafael Benitez might soon be out of Chelsea. Given the Chelsea owner’s intolerance with underachieving managers, it would be no news if Rafa suffers the sack in the very near future. However, should he remain until the end of the season, it is likely that his short-term contract at Stamford Bridge will not be extended.

So where is it next for the former Liverpool manager? We look at five clubs which could each offer Rafael Benitez an escape route.

Valencia

Valencia was the club where Benitez first enjoyed notable success. He defied all odds by guiding Los Che to their first league title in 31 years, back in 2002. They enjoyed even more success in 2004 under Benitez’s guidance as they won both La Liga and UEFA Cup titles. From then onwards, Valencia have gone on a decline. Rafa could be the man to resurrect this team which is struggling to compete with giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.

One win in their last four visits to the Mestalla will have Barcelona wanting to get the full three points on Sunday against Valencia

The Mestalla has not been a great place for Barcelona as of late. From their last 10 visits in all competitions, the Blaugrana have only managed three victories, three defeats and four draws.

Sunday, Tito Vilanova's side will have to put their 1-1 draw against Real Madrid behind them and focus on grabbing their first win at the Mestalla since their 0-1 victory in March of 2011, thanks to a 77th minute goal from Lionel Messi.

Ernesto Valverde's side has been in good form as of late, having won five of their last six matches in the domestic league. Their one defeat came at the hands of Real Madrid with Jose Mourinho's side defeating Los Che 0-5 at the Mestalla.

Valencia vs Real Madrid Preview

The first two matches of the triple header against Real Madrid have gone totally wrong for Valencia. Can they miraculously turn their 2-0 deficit against Los Blancos in the Copa del Rey Last 8 second leg fixture?

Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria helped Real Madrid to destroy Valencia 5-0 on January 20. Team news & analysis

Jose Mourinho’s decision to build competition between Iker Casillas and Antonio Adan has so far paid off well. Real Madrid are on a run of four consecutive clean sheets in all competitions since their 2013 opening match in which they conceded three goals against Real Sociedad.

Whoever gets in post on Wednesday will be eager to stretch Los Blancos’ record to five clean sheets on the trot. The good news for the visitors’ defenders is that Roberto Soldado will not feature in the match due to a thigh injury.

Skipper David Albeda is out with a calf problem while Dani Parejo has a fractured thumb. Two Valencia players who could make an appearance at the Mestalla are ex-Real Madrid boy Sergio Canales and Portuguese defender Joao Pereira.

The atmosphere ahead of this fixture is tense. La Liga champions Real Madrid are yet to put their critics to bed while Valencia, who have one foot out of the Copa del Rey, seek for revenge.

Real Madrid will play away to Valencia in the second match of both teams' January triple header.Analysis

Valencia were on a four-match winning streak until they lost to Real Madrid in midweek. That encounter, in the Spanish Copa del Rey, was marred by controversy as wrong offside calls went against Valencia amid other incidents.

As a result, this weekend’s league encounter is being hyped around the revenge factor. Los Che, who are not favourites to progress to the Spanish Copa del Rey semis, will be out to torment Los Blancos. 

The latter are facing an embarrassing situation in La Liga being 18 points off the top of the standings. It seems to be only a matter of time before Real Madrid officially give up on defending their title. In the meantime, they are yet to reach the 40-point mark.

Real Madrid’s desire to dethrone Barcelona as Spanish Copa del Rey champions has significantly increased after the former fell 18 points off the top of La Liga table last weekend. The only way for the Spanish giants to recover from their serious headache in the league is by succeeding in cup competitions this season.

Video - Huge blow for Real Madrid as Ramos gets 5-match ban

Bad news has hit the camp of Real Madrid as influential defender Sergio Ramos has been hit with a five-match ban.

According to the report of referee Miguel Ayza Gamez who officiated Wednesday Copa del Rey fixture between Real Madrid and Celta de Vigo, Ramos declared after being flashed the red card: “You're a crook. You have been trying to f*** us all game long. It's the same as always you scoundrels.”

The top two sides in Group F go head to head as they look to secure top spot in their group and more essentially, qualify for the round of 16.

Team News

Arjen Robben is injured for Bayern and is set to miss out. Luiz Gustavo and Jerome Boateng have both been ruled out. Holger Badstuber is fit. However, he did not start the game against Nürnberg and might not start this one either. He is needed obviously though as Daniel Van Buyten is a risky choice against the fast Roberto Soldado.

Valencia vs Atlético Madrid Preview

Los Che had a dismal start to their season losing four in nine games so far this season. Post Unai Emery things aren't looking rosy at the moment.

Ever Banega will be hoping to win his duel against Radamel Falcao when Valencia and Atletico Madrid clash on November 3, 2012Pablo Hernandez left this summer to Swansea, joining the long list of players who left the debt-ridden club looking for brighter prospects. Winger Jonathan Viera was brought as cover but he is still learning the ropes of the Spanish premier liga.

Having already faced top teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, Valencia can't blame themselves for finding themselves at the wrong end of the league table. The last time Valencia met Atletico Madrid on the field was in a Europa League semi-final, they lost both the legs by a 5-2 aggregate. However, it is much different in the league. Atleti haven't won against Los Che in the last seasons.

Bayern München vs Valencia Preview

Tuesday September 18 2012,
Tags: Bayern, Valencia
Bayern takes on Valencia on Match-day One in a repeat of the 2001 Champions League Final.
Valencia comes into their Champions League opener without much confidence. The side registered only its first league win of the season on Saturday. The win came against newly-promoted Celta Vigo. However, the manner in which it came will not satisfy Mauricio Pellegrino. Valencia once again scored an early goal but conceded the equalizer due to sloppy defending. They grabbed a deserved winner after a much improved display in the second half.

Valencia also drew against Deportivo, 3-3, after having led 3-1. Bayern has no draws to their name this season. They have won each and every one of their four competitive matches so far without too much trouble. Mainz presented the first tough challenge for them but only because Bayern stepped down a gear after earning a two-goal cushion within twelve minutes of play.

Barcelona vs Valencia Preview

Sunday September 2 2012,
Tags: Barcelona, Valencia, La Liga, Lionel Messi, Tito Vilanova
Two weeks after embarrassing Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on the opening week of La Liga, Valencia are scheduled to take on Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona face Valencia with the aim of bouncing back from their Supercopa 2012 defeat to Real Madrid.Team News

Carles Puyol and Dani Alves are doubtful. Cristian Tello and Alex Song featured in midweek as substitute and could receive a spot in Vilanova’s First XI. Pedro could also start ahead of Alexis Sanchez as Barcelona’s manager may make a few changes from his last line-up.

Valencia enter the match without Ricardo Costa who was red-carded last weekend against Deportivo La Coruna. Adil Rami is set to replace him at the back.

Analysis

Barcelona are still Barcelona. Regardless of whom their opponents are, the Catalans make sure to remain true to their style of play. Nothing will change against Valencia despite the fact that they lost out to Real Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana in midweek.
