So the biggest surprise of this new year was Manchester City not being able to win against Everton at an odd of 1.14,they started strongly with a brillant Haaland but unfortunately that was not enough for them to give them the win for this game which they were huge favorites.

Arsenal now has the golden opportunity to move to 7 points away from their closest follower as even Newcastle failed to win tonight,the other surprise of the day,I think that they will win against Brighton and further consolidate their lead which will give them the serenity to continue the league really in a calm way that in turn may give them the edge needed to be Champions in the end.

I'm not sure what's up with Pep's unexpected lineup, they barely escaped Leeds last week and he made the same mistake keeping some of his best players on the bench, I don't understand why he keeps making these heavy rotations when we still have one month until the Champions League, man ids costing us money and points in the FPL pool. I'm starting to believe that Arsenal is getting closer to the league than I ever imagined, now that the only club keeping a close gap has started to lose points. I don't believe we've seen the biggest surprise of the year yet; there are many more to come.

Arsenal is comfortably ahead with a score of 2-4.

Arsenal surely has solidified their league with an awesome game against Brighton and after a couple of years of them losing against Brighton when playing at Brighton home they broke the "curse" against this team.Manchester City with this pathetic performance tonight just made it difficult for themselves and I believe really difficult because this Arsenal clearly is the best team of the league with just one draw,one lost game and 14 wins,that says a lot to me.If the odds are good I am going to bet some substantial amount for them to win outright the Premier League but I don't believe the odds are good.

What a game for Wout Faes, eh? Grin
I haven't seen this in a while but thanks to the lad, we were crap once again and without his heroics we wouldn't have won the game.

I really cannot understand why we're such a worse team this season. Defensively it looks like we have never played together before.
Still, the points are here - but luck won't be forever.

The second own goal , its ridiculous.

Yes City really bad performance against Everton, because when Grey scores the dont make really good plays to go again up in the score.

Arsenal now have a gold chance to strech the gap and build a safety one.

Both to score on Liverpool games, easiest money this season. Did you guys see the goals? First K. Dewsbury-Hall scored a goal from solo run where he looked like combination of Messi & Mbappe thanks to Liverpool defense. Later on, one of the strangest own goals for Leicester. I watched the situation 5 times and I am still not sure how Faes managed to score that  Grin Should get some sort of reward for this accomplishment.
It was a fixed match 😂
The number of opportunity Nunez missed in the match again, he needed someone to assist him, Faes took the charge 😉

Seriously, Liverpool needs to improve their game. They were average in the match. The win was lucky for them, they don't deserve it.

Come on Wolves! Submit United!
No! I have a 1 - 2 win for Utd LOL

It's shades of 2020... when we had can't remember, 15? defensive pairings at CB?

This time we've been experimenting with new pairings higher up too... Elliott's first start with Thiago in the centre, Ox too a very rare start, and then when Keita comes on now it's almost as if we have new players. No excuse for our back four of course, who more or less is fixed now between 6 players.

Gakpo seems pretty hyped and while I agree he could do well, I'm never really convinced about Dutch league players moving up. Happy to be proven wrong.

Branford destroyed my only bet last night, while I managed to get the correct score for the Liverpool game and that is not enough to move up the ladder in the pool, I just made a bet for United and I don't know if Wolves will be able to break my bet!!
Yesterday, like you, I lost a bet, although my bet was smaller in dollar terms.  In the first 4 minutes Liverpool sat down with a goal from leicester city.  I thought maybe Liverpool wouldn't pay for this goal, so I took a $20 bet tomorrow.  But sadly, W Faes own goals in the 34th minute and 45th minute gave Liverpool the win.

Talking about the  game i cant believe how many chance its Darwin Nuñez missing this season

yeah, it is pretty unbelievable, but he is lucky to have place in a team due to circumstances
and Klopp said that Lewandovski was the same when in Darwin age, so that probably means he will get chance even with Gakpo in the team (TBH, i could see Gakpo replacing him at position)

United early, then four matches and Arsenal to close this year in EPL, good day today, hoping to get Citizens unlucky

For real? I'm wondering how long he can hold a squat Wink Joking aside, he is one of the best argentinian coaches ever!

Hahaha nice one man, yes i live not so far from his house here in Rosario, but i dont know where its him now. Sometimes he goes to a countryside of his own near of here.

He needs a bit of more time until he fully is harmonized with the team.He helped Liverpool dominate the game and I was happy that finally I saw a Liverpool playing well despite them playing against a much weaker team like Leicester.I see that slow slow Liverpool is climbing up positions and even the upcoming game can be considered an easy one for them to win to keep up the good rhythm so far.

I had them 2-0 in the predictor but I saw that going away when Leicester scored early in the game,despite not doing good in these two games just lost a position in the standings.

Wow. Liverpool definitely let off the hook here at half time... 2 own goals by the same guy Faes. First one he could have done way better... second one he turned in a Nunez miss off the post but that was just unlucky. I'm not a manager but is that the guy I sub off at HT to let his recover if I see him broken... or let him play and redeem himself?
carelessness as a defender often happens but it's done more than 1x in 1 match I think the leicester manager didn't immediately sack him just because he gave 2 goals to liverpool which was very difficult to penetrate the defense and scored his own goal, without an own goal I think the game would have been a draw

Nunez's shameless celebration of that own goal after missing that one on one made me very angry Grin; 18 big chances created, 14 missed this season; at this point, he should be playing with the under 23s to regain his finishing confidence. And as for Faes guy, if I'm the manager, I'm removing him from the team and sell him in January because those two own goals look suspicious, they were all avoidable own goals and he could have done better, you can't let down a team fighting back to form in that stupid way. I believe I saw some shady match fixing message to him prior to the game, but I'm hoping it was just one of those Twitter spoofs.

i needed 1 more Liverpool goal to hit my exact CS though... we move.

congrats on winning BTTS
although, it is on Leicester, since they scored all goals so far, and I can't remember seeing player scoring two own goals in one match, he is trying his best to get that accomplishment
will he go for hat-trick in second half is a question now

Liverpool is a team not capable to defend but more than capable of outscoring most oponnents. I am expecting at least 4 goals tonight. We shall see soon who was right  Grin
It's true that's why I always go with the number 3 when I pick Liverpool to win. City is the same but their defense is better I guess.

Ikr, but at least Avirunes won it lol. He really deserved it with his almost-perfect picks. Good luck for the upcoming round!
It was a perfect round for him with 17 points and jumped from 33th to 25th, I jumped from 20th to 16th and you were in top10 anyway but now leading the point table. Good job.

Round18 starts in less than two hours. While Liverpool is an easy guess, the West Ham vs Brentford is a hard one for me. I always find it hard to go with a draw. So I am in doubt of where to stay until the match starts. If I consider bookies then they are keeping West Ham ahead.
excellent work, Jayce I see you at the top it was a crazy week I just need another week like that to be at the top or top 5 at least, and thank you my sidechick for reminding me of the Liverpool game I almost missed out on, I've been busy since this week and if I didn't see this post I wouldn't know Liverpool game was today, I just put something up now its better than nothing at all. Darwin should score at least two goals for my FPL, and I really want to fall in love with him because he has the perfect football body. Now is the time to turn on the television.

A typical Leeds against the bigs game, and this its:

- Being a shit in defence
- Some good goalkeeper saves
- Rain of goals
- Multiple attacks for each side
- Missing some goals
- Lose

From their comeback to Premier until now this its the regular basis of Leeds. Anyways i like to watch that kind of games.
and every time they play against same or lower level teams, they disappointing us. They don't change a lot after Bielsa's departure tbh.

They were my favorite but until now in their 3rd season in PL, the only memorable match I can remember on Leeds is just when they was able to get draw result 1-1 against City in their first season Undecided

I predicted a 0-3 win for City based on Leeds not so good form during this season but I must say that I enjoyed the game yesterday night.I thought that City would be playing very well in order to show to other teams that they are still running for the title and would not concede but they did.



Yeah but City's goals made makes up for the total goal difference to matter against Arsenal.  And for City to remain in the running, they shouldn't lose one single match from here on out...  Which I think is pretty much doable for Guradiola and his boys.  

City would make a good parlay piece every match day to the end of the season if the books weren't so stingy about the odds.  Cheesy  Using City at just 1.11 in a parlay has become more of a risk.  And I don't feel safe with the -2 at 1.52 either.  Lol.

What do you guys think of City to win both halves at 1.87?

I've got 3-0 as well and can easily see more. Could be a bloodbath depending on which Leeds team turn up and given that Newcastle have been stuffing teams by 3 or 4 goals.

Well, as per usual I forgot. I'm away, so that's my excuse. I'm not sure if I put in the predictions in advance, probably not. I'm away from the superbru app at the moment so I've either already put the predictions in or I've picked up a few wooden spoons Tongue. I don't think I had any chance of competing for this competition this year anyhow. It's been a rather difficult season to predict, and I haven't watched nearly as much football as I usually do this year.

You don't need the app; they have a browser site as well. Just put them in well in advance or just get in a routine of doing them every Monday or Friday or whatever day your prefer. It seems a lot of people have been forgetting with the World Cup and probably busy with the holidays. I almost forgot to do mine last round and this one. Just done them now.
