Match preview
Primeira Liga leaders Porto suffered a shock defeat to Casa Pia last time out, but they still hold a four-point lead over Sporting at the summit and remain unbeaten at home this term. However, Sporting are unbeaten on their travels, so something might have to give on Monday.

The surprise reverse against Casa Pia was Porto's only defeat of the season, and only the second time they've dropped points in their 20 outings.
Since their defeat to Porto in August last year, Sporting have amassed an impressive 13 wins from 16 in the league and will have revenge on their mind when they travel North.

Tomas Perez’s Achilles tendon issue will be assessed, but Nehuen Perez, Seko Fofana and Luuk de Jong are all unavailable for the hosts. William Gomes is suspended.

How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
