Changes against 22 January show the effects of the domestic cup here, as twelve sides register a net loss, and only Portsmouth (FA Cup), Everton (UEFA) and Tottenham (UEFA and League cup, which the side won in extra time) make significant progress. Reading's form has been abysmal, now eight games without a win.

For the second year running, and notwithstanding their defeat of Schalke on Saturday, Werder Bremen look like they're imploding. Bayern and Hamburg drew 1:1. Hertha Berlin looks to have done enough to have avoided relegation, but Bielefeld's good start to the season is coming off the rails.

Full league programmes in Scotland and Italy this mid-week, and cup contests in most other leading nations. Except England, whose idea of a week off is ... to take a week off.
