• MANCHESTER CITY v MONACO
Huddersfield Town 0-0 Manchester City
City face a replay in the FA Cup last 16 after being held at second-tier Huddesfield. Pep Guardiola made eight changes from Monday’s league game with Bournemouth, including the enforced absence of injured Gabriel Jesus, meaning a return to the starting line-up for Sergio Agüero, as well as for Claudio Bravo in goal. However, there was no way past home keeper Joel Coleman for Agüero and Co.
Bastia 1-1 Monaco (Sadio Diallo 19; Bernardo Silva 52)
Bernardo Silva’s sixth league goal of the season, a well-placed header from Almamy Touré’s cross, salvaged a point for Monaco on Friday. They are three points ahead of Nice but it could be down to one if Paris beat Toulouse on Sunday.

Porto 4-0 Tondela (André Silva 43pen Rúben Neves 54 Soares 63 Diogo Jota 90+2)
Francisco Soares scored for the fourth time in three matches since joining from Guimarães and André Silva struck his 13th league goal of the campaign as Porto won their sixth contest on the spin on Friday, stretching their unbeaten Liga run to 19 games in the process.
Juventus 4-1 Palermo (Marchisio 13 Dybala 40 89 Higuaín 63; Chochev 90+3)
It was a tale of free-kicks in Turin on Friday with Claudio Marchisio turning in after the visitors failed to deal with a 13th minute one while Paulo Dybala, who hit the post from an early set piece, brilliantly curled in the second from a dead-ball situation against his former club. Dybala played in Gonzalo Higuaín for his 19th league goal of the season and the roles were reversed for number four as Juventus eased to a sixth consecutive Serie A success and stretched their unbeaten competitive home run to 43 matches.
