Just finished watching Leicester City 0 - 3 Crystal Palace. This is actually a surprising result, especially after Leicester's winning streak, but Crystal Palace put up a great performance today, they were dominating the game even before the red card to Ndidi. Zaha was the MVP, but also great performance from Benteke, goal and assit.
Absolute cracker, and the sending off was after 0-2, so fully deserved. Been a while since Benteke found his scoring boots so credit to Palace for having really turned their fortunes around the past few games (and really, their performance even when losing has been great). I think Liverpool really miss having Sakho around, he also has been a real beast in their defence. I'd predicted a Leicester win but I guess form is temporary...
Anyway, not betting this week, still nursing losses from past 2 match days but if I were a betting man, my picks for the next matches:
1. Straight win for Burnley is great value at 3.4. Their form has been just incredible, and they have to win this at home against battered Brighton and Hove.
2. Straight win for Spurs at 6.1. I know City are expected to win especially since the weight is on Spurs to win not just from their own fans but the rest of the league's. Nevertheless, Kane is almost sure to score and City do have a wobbly defence under pressure. Poc to nick it!
