Olivier Giroud has not lost hope of regaining a spot in the Chelsea Premier League with a prolific form in European competition as the World Cup winner seeks to extend his stay by an extra year .

"I am a competitor and I want to play every game and be happy on the pitch. I have gone through a lot of difficult times in my career. I just want to enjoy my football after winning the World Cup last summer. I want to make the most of the terrain. That's why, when I play, I try to enjoy the game as much as I can. "

It's time for the quarterfinals and semi-finals!

Here's preview of your match against Wolves v Manchester United on Saturday night:

JAt his press conference, ürgen Klopp was asked to take a look at Liverpool's trip to Fulham if he was worried about how he would be remembered if he did not win other trophies soon. Here is his answer:

I am not trying to be remembered in 50 years. I love what I do and it's all I need to be a happy person. God will judge me one day, what others say about me does not interest me.

Last eight:

Ajax v Juventus
Liverpool v Porto
Tottenham v Manchester City
Barcelona v Manchester United

Four last ones:

Tottenham or Manchester City v Ajax or Juventus
Barcelona or Manchester United v Liverpool or Porto

While Manchester City are playing against Swansea in the FA Cup this weekend, Liverpool can rank at the top of the Premier League standings when it beat Fulham on Sunday.. They will have to do it without their captain, Jordan Henderson. He is not fit enough to play after suffering ankle injury at Bayern Munich.

It's like the piece where everyone is inexplicably crammed into the three square meters of your kitchen. Click on:

Eni Aluko wrote for us, and especially for you, about Ronaldo and Juve:

Too much … a lot … cups! No not true the FA Trophy is great – I attended a few finals at Wembley and it's a day that I highly recommend. In our badogy of evening organization, it is the amiable old friend who will rub shoulders with your new friends with no risk of being a cowardly cannon rather than the companion of a companion who invents the numbers but vomits up there. Anyway. The games are:

Leyton Orient against AFC Telford (Saturday at 3 pm); Fylde v Stockport (Sat 15h)

These are the first legs. There are good stories around the four clubs: let's see who will succeed …

About this tie Watford v Palace – I really enjoyed Simon Burnton's interview with Adrian Mariappa, and I'm sure you too:

Today, it's a bit like organizing a party and never exchanging more than a superficial word with the people you've invited. Nice to see you and life but what did I do with flying awnings? We move smoothly from mid-week European ties to a Premier League weekend, FA Cup, championship and more. Only we do not do it, because these big draws of the Champions League and the Europa League start in about 90 minutes, in theory. at least, and all eyes will be on these. I'm going to run separate blogs on these – so consider this one as your home, your control center, a touchstone, a lighthouse in the dark, where you'll be able to express your most daring thoughts and fears the deepest on * any * aspect of football to come.

I will review some of the games we are looking forward to.
