AnalysisEvery runner-up in Europe's six live title races finished first or second last season and is still playing continental football, while five of the six leaders are not. Laura Martinez goes through the run-ins and the form, and picks Bayern, Lisboa, Liverpool, Ajax, Paris and Roma.
AnalysisGameweek 23 has no first-versus-second meeting in any of the seven top flights, but the stakes are high. Laura Martinez previews Hoffenheim v Dortmund, Sevilla Red v Madrid Red, a relegation-zone derby at Tottenham and the bottom nine in Italy, where three points cover them all.
AnalysisNapoli lead Italy on goal difference after Roma lost 5-0 at home, and Laura Martinez's run-in analysis shows the second half reversing the first.

AnalysisLiverpool, Bayern, Roma and Barcelona lead four tight Season 4 races, but Milano Red’s surge earns Laura Martinez’s boldest prediction. Direct clashes in England, Germany and Italy make Gameweek 19 the first major stress test.
