We ease our way in with a Premier League clash as Newcastle head to West Ham.

But things start getting chaotic on Tuesday as the Cheltenham Festival begins in the afternoon before the first batch of second legs in the last-16 of the Champions League kick-off that evening.

Today’s draw revealed mouth-watering ties like PSG vs Liverpool, Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid and Arsenal vs PSV.

The dates of the games are not confirmed yet but there will be four on Tuesday night and another four on Wednesday night – both after huge days at Cheltenham.

On Thursday, again the horse racing fills our lunchtime before the Europa and Conference Leagues take centre stage.

Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea are all set to be in action on the night of March 13.

Spurs welcome AZ Alkmaar, United face Real Sociedad and the Blues come up against Copenhagen.

For those that prefer darts, it is also night six of the Premier League from Nottingham.
