Stoke chairman Peter Coates says they will not throw money at the European transfer market unless they are sure about the player.

Potters boss Tony Pulis is taking advantage of a free weekend to travel to Europe to check on potential transfer targets for next season now the club’s place in the Premier League is guaranteed. A striker is high on Pulis’ wanted list and there are bargain to be had as Newcastle have proven when landing the likes of Papiss Cisse, Yihan Cabaye and Chieck Tiote. Such players have taken the Magpies to verge of the Champions League, but Coates says Stoke will be careful when bringing in players from abroad as there are also one or two duds out there. “Everybody is lauding Newcastle,” he told the Sentinal, “and they have done well. But it can be hit and miss, a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack sometimes. ” We simply want to attract players who are right for the club, wherever they are from. It’s all about getting the right ones who can improve you within your budget.”

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: 12BET odds Wolverhampton Wanderers Vs Arsenal 4/12 2:45AM GMT+8

Wolves have lost their last six games and are the Premier League’s bottom side with 22 points from 32 games. The hosts have conceded a league-highest 70 goals so far this season. Behind 11-goal Steven Fletcher, Wolves’ second-highest league goalscorer is winger Matt Jarvis (pictured right), who has just five.

Arsenal have won seven of their last eight matches. The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium by Wolves on December 27, Fletcher’s equaliser cancelling out an early Gervinho strike. Arsenal have conceded five own goals in the league this term whilst Terry Connor’s side have leaked just two. The Gunners have not lost to Wolves in any competition since September 29 1979, when they were beaten 3-2 in the old Division One. There have been 18 meetings between the two clubs since.

The Rovers boss was disappointed with his sides poor display at the Hawthorns, but is hoping for a turn around against Kenny Dalglish’s side, who may have their eye elsewhere.

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean is hoping Liverpool will be distracted by their FA Cup semi-final clash with Everton when they travel to Ewood Park on Tuesday evening.

Rovers have been sucked back into the bottom three following a run of three successive league defeats, but Kean is hoping that an out-of-form Liverpool, with just one win in their last nine, are already turning their attention to Wembley on Saturday.

FRANCE LIGUE 1: 12BET odds Nice Vs Lorient 4/9 3:30AM GMT+8

Paris Saint-Germain sit 2nd in Ligue 1 after collecting 60 points from 30 games. Les Parisiens had ironically been held to a 1-1 draw with Bordeaux and lost to Nancy in the matches preceding the first Clasico. The same results have occurred this time. Carlo Ancelotti has won only 45% of his Ligue 1 games since taking over, a stark contrast to Antoine Koumbouare’s 63% before being sacked. PSG have not kept a clean sheet against Marseille in the league since 2006.

Olympique de Marseille’s woeful run of form continues, although they arrested their losing sequence with a 1-1 draw against Nice two weeks ago. Didier Deschamps’ men sit ninth in Ligue 1 with 40 points, having also suffered Champions League elimination in midweek. Marseille thrashed their arch-rivals 3-0 in the reverse fixture at Stade Velodrome earlier this season. OM have only lost one of their last six fixtures against the capital club. Loic Remy has four goals in his last seven games against PSG, he also scored in the 3-0 win in week 15.

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE: 12BET odds Metalist Charkov Vs Sporting Lisabon 4/6 3:05AM GMT+8

Sporting take a 2-1 lead to the Ukraine but the away goal which Metalist scored at the end of the first leg has put this tie right in the balance. Metalist overturned a first leg deficit in the previous round where they found themselves 1-0 down and heading to Greece to meet Olympiakos. Two late strikes there saw them go through on the away goals and having come back from the dead in that game, they will hardly be short of confidence they can turn this around as well.

Metalist are the top scorers in the competition and the 1-0 home defeat to the Greek side was the only Europa League game in which they have failed to score since a 0-0 draw with Sochaux in an early season qualifying round. They have scored four goals in five of their 13 European matches although the quality of opposition in those games didn’t look as dangerous as Sporting. There will be a terrific atmosphere and a genuine belief amongst fans and players that they can make the semi finals.
