The three favourites in Cyprus, City and the difficult exits for Arsenal and Real Madrid...

Full racing action in all leagues and interest is soaring. After the break due to the National Teams, we return to the normal flow... And we are looking forward to how the teams will present themselves.
Starting with ours, we have three encounters with the aces being the big favourites. We are talking about AEK, APOEL and Aris who welcome Karmiotissa, Nea Salamina and Ethnikos Achna respectively.
The Premier League is dominated by Chelsea-Arsenal and Manchester City-Brighton.
In the Primera División, Real Madrid have a difficult exit against Sevilla.
In Ligue 1, Nice welcomes Marseille in a very interesting encounter.
Below you will see in detail all the racing action:
AEK LARNACA-KARMIOTISSA (19:00)
We are waiting to see how the two teams present themselves after the break. AEK has so far disappointed, and urgently wants a return to victories, otherwise their task even to enter the top six will become more difficult. Karmiotissa, on the other hand, travels to Larnaca with a new coach (Christos Charalambous) and wants a score gain in her effort to stay.
APOEL-NEA SALAMINA (19:00)
APOEL may be the favourites, but their task will not be easy. However, the "blue and yellow", despite the problems they face, show character and win the matches. If they do it against Nea Salamina, then they will get new momentum. On the other hand, however, the "red-and-whites" are not a negligible quantity. They look serious and disciplined again this year. Their course so far is by no means accidental.
ARIS LIMASSOL-ETHNIKOS ACHNA (19:00)
The champions are clear favourites, against a team that plays nice and aggressive football. Several goals are expected in Limassol.
MANCHESTER CITY-BRIGHTON (17:00)
Our City are used to showing character and when they have to win these kinds of matches, especially at home, in the end they achieve their goal. It's been a while to remember City coming off two defeats in a row in the Premier League (against Wolves and Arsenal). Winning against Brighton is a one-way street. The visitors in the last matches look elevated and capable of the best. They will again try to do the damage to the champions, as they did before the break against Liverpool.
CHELSEA-ARSENAL (19:30)
Chelsea have poured millions into the net this season, but they are still being searched. In the last few matches they have come from two away wins and maybe that will lift their spirits. The visitors are now determined to win this year's Premier League. They beat City before the break and if they escape with the double tonight, then they are sending another strong message.
SEVILLA-REAL MADRID (19:30)
NICE-MARSEILLE (22:00)
Derby in Ligue 1 ́ with the hosts having a small lead. But so far, we have seen a lot of strange results in France and if you look at the standings, you can easily see the difficulties of this championship. Even the super-rich PSG do not look like they will win the league (and if) with relative ease, as they have done in recent years.
