The winners of this tie take on either Real Sociedad (the highest placed La Liga side left and they're sixth) or La Liga II side Mirandes. Bilbao are currently ninth in La Liga but could do with transferring their cup form to the league. They have no wins in their last eight league games and at the weekend lost away at Real Sociedad in what could be a dress rehearsal for the final of this competition.
It was a performance that saw 19-year-old named man of the match by BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty, impressing both in defence and attack.

Looking forward it will get really tough on all of us as clubs. On Tuesday, the EFL - which governs the Championship, League One and League Two and includes 70 member clubs - announced it would provide a £50m short-term relief fund to help with cash-flow issues because of the pandemic. The fund includes the early release of award payments, and an interest-free loan facility.

Schalke and Wales winger Rabbi Matondo says he is "proud" of how young players have used their profiles to take a stand against racism.

Another England player, Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings, 27, took part in a Black Lives Matter protest in Birmingham. I feel proud that people are standing up for their rights," said Matondo, 19.

He is now exclusively thought of as a left-sided forward but that is not the case - his brilliance has dictated his association with that position. Salah and Firmino have very specific skillsets which allow for them to excel in the very specific roles they have in Klopp's team. Mane also excels in a specific role but is not wedded to it because he is a generally excellent all-round player.
Liverpool's victory means they have now gone 30 games unbeaten in the Premier League and have still dropped only two points in the league all season. Firmino underlines Liverpool resilienceWith Jurgen Klopp deciding to keep Mo Salah on the bench following an ankle problem, the timing of Firmino's scrappy winner was immaculate. Not only did it end his run of nine games without a goal, it also meant Klopp could change his intention to throw Salah onto the pitch to help his side find a winner.

Nijmegen is really not that strong, they easily lost their last two away games in the league only advantage they have over their opponents today is that they were eliminated early in the cup competition and they did not play there this week while the hosts played but did well as they won 2-0 away at a decent Excelsior side and so progressed forward in the competition, and are coming with good morale here.
But the Uruguayan could now miss the rest of the season after having a knee operation on Sunday, with the diagnosis of a four-month absence far worse than the initial expectation that he would be out for just one. Replacing Suarez at centre forward could be achieved by repositioning Antoine Griezmann, who has been playing in a left-wing berth since his big-money summer move from Atletico Madrid but would surely be delighted to receive the chance to play in a more central role.
He repeatedly clashed with the Football League, but, like Bates and GFH before him, could not stop throwing dead money at the club, nor win a place back at football's top table. Garry Monk led the team to 75 points in his sole season in charge in 2016-17 but no wins from the final five games somehow meant no play-offs. Top scorer Chris Wood and talented left-back Charlie Taylor left for Burnley, and Monk for Middlesbrough.
Even on their own patch, Tuesday's hosts have struggled to get going. They've won only two out of 13 matches at Globe Arena, losing six of the other nine. However, in recent times, their home form has picked up, as they've lost just one of their last five. They've scored with regularity at home during the last few months but have found it tough to keep teams out. They're without a clean sheet in four home games and have kept just two at home all season.

We’re also backing up that form with a 2-1 victory for Forest in this clash. The hosts have lost three of their last four games, while Forest come into this one with two wins in three. Following their winning run at this ground, we think that the best correct score option here is a 2-1 away win.
Unlike Brest 2, Energetik 2 managed to win two games in the league this season and also 2 draws from the 8 games they have played so they have a record of 2-2-4 and last round came their second win totally unexpected away from home at Slutsk 2 as they won the game with 3-0 with odds being pretty high on the day for them to win the game, but just like the big team is in the top places in the first league level the reserve side has also gotten better.

On the other hand Rizespor is one of the main outsiders in this league. Rizespor is team of the relegation zone. They have a very difficult task in this season. Visitors have a vulnerable defense and for me they could lose.

Last weekend BBC Sport revealed that football's senior medical experts, along with their counterparts in rugby, racing and cricket, were to be invited to a series of virtual meetings, in what was described to me as a "quickening of the pace" in preparations for a resumption. Ministers continued to make supportive statements to the media and in parliament.
