BET365 offer 3-1 about a red card being shown in Thursday night's Europa League last-16 first leg clash at Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester United.

Neither of the Premier League games between the two huge rivals this season - which were both won by the Red Devils - saw a sending-off but Steven Gerrard was given his marching orders at Anfield moments after coming as a second-half substitute, the campaign before. And Nemanja Vidic was dismissed after 15 minutes of their third clash of the 2013-14 season.

Liverpool are 11-10 favourites for the first leg but bet365 go 10-11 choice about which team will qualify. Tottenham are 5-1 to win their Europa League round of 16 first leg at Borussia Dortmund and 13-8 to qualify. Bet365 go 8-13 that the final contains no English side, 6-4 one and 16-1 two.

Paris St-Germain beat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night to reach the Champions League quarter-finals courtesy of a 4-2 aggregate-success.

PSG are now 8-1 fourth-favourites after joining 11-2 Real Madrid, 60-1 Wolfsburg and 80-1 Benfica in the last eight. Benfica won 2-1 at Zenit for a 3-1 aggregate-triumph on Wednesday afternoon while Real and Wolfsburg progressed on Tuesday with 4-0 and 4-2 aggregate-successes respectively.

Blues fans and boss Guus Hiddink that injuries that saw Diego Costa and Eden Hazard withdrawn in the second half are not serious enough to rule them out of Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final with Everton at Goodison Park.
