[...] Chelsea had big problems with injuries. They were playing long time without Lukaku, their only real striker, and Kovačić who looked really good in the middle. Added to that they had a lot of injuries in defense, first Azpi, now Chilwell and James.
But Tuchel has coped with it, although Che had fairly easy opponents in the last five rounds. I'm more worried about tomorrow's away game, as WestHam feels great on the 4th line, + Antonio hasn't scored for a long time. If Che wins then with a narrow margin, so tomorrow it will be clear what color London will be.

high-intensity pressing is very demanding. they've been playing like that for almost a year, of course, fatigue will occur. we only remember the previous season of Liverpool, where they looked too tired after two fantastic seasons. frequent injuries are just a consequence.
as far as I saw Lukaku did not bring them much improvement, have quite good results without them.

Guys, who knows how the winner of the round is determined when two participants have absolutely identical results?

I’ve been doing a bit better lately, probably not good enough to get near a prize spot at the end of the season but it’s made me more motivated to put more effort in to my predictions. Just submitted mine for the weekend, good luck boys.

That first Arsenal goal that was disallowed was an interesting situation. De Gea went down, play went on, Arsenal scored and then the ref blew the whistle as if to disallowed it. Not sure why he did that. Maybe he thought it was a foul on him but the replay showed it was a Man U player that stood on his foot. De Gea went down rolling around with the amateur dramatics as footballers do and ultimately paid the price for it. Glad it was given.

Yeah, I'm not trying to insinuate the conspiracies surrounding the vaccines. Like I said, this has definitely happened in stadiums before, I've personally seen someone collapse on a game day inside the stadium, though that was acted upon quickly by the stewards, and was quite far away from me so not quite sure what the cause was.

They probably happen more than people think and previously they probably could have gone largely unnoticed or reported. There's a lot of people at football games and a lot of people have heart attacks so they will happen from time to time. Regarding the vaccines, I do find it interesting that in the UK they don't seem to be aspirating the needles which is the way they're meant to be given. This should be done to ensure it's not gone into a vein as doing so can be very dangerous. You really shouldn't be mainlining this stuff as it obviously goes straight to your heart which could be causing a lot of these heart issues that people have been reporting after vaccination.

I am sorry for Arsenal as they were playing well and I had them changed from a win of United to a draw.However I am happy to have found another correct score for this round from Tottenham which helped me not lose grip with the top 20 and I am only 19 points behind the first place.It is a very good pool so far with a lot of contenders as very few points difference between the top 20.Do not forget that tomorrow,Sunday and Monday we have another full week of Premier League action.

Liverpool looks best at the moment but I feel they will be hit hardest with congested schedule and than African Cup of Nations. Both Chelsea and City have longer benches (arguably) and will not loose top players to African Cup. If Liverpool survives this period without falling behind they will be first favorites for title.

mostly agree, although I do think that City has best chances to get title this year
Liverpool looks good, and African cup will be a test for them to stay in the top, but I think that they do not have mental strength for a winning strikes, they had it one year, and made difference, but they could hardly repeat that one, Klopp is a great "cup competition" couch, but I will be surprised to see him getting another title in PL

Arsenal were doing very well,but when they face big team,fear grips them and make them loose.There is a fear factor that the coach could not remove from them.When Arteta came in first,he was known for flogging big teams,but now he has injected fear in them,and when ever they meet big team,they always loose.

Therefore,for Arteta to compete for top four,or win any tittle this season,he has to buy players during January transfer window,to enable him Atleast meet up the other big teams in England.

Anyway, I don't normally get too excited about Liverpool's chances at Christmas time due to the amount of times we've been there, and slipped up. However, I feel like this team is showing us similar energy to when we won it. We're looking incredible in attack, and only a little bit shaky in defense. I'm normally always fairly confident about our chances, but usually quite quiet about it. This year I just feel like its our.....year.

I think Manchester City aren't on the same level currently as us, and Chelsea, and Chelsea have definitely shown fragility as of recent games.

[...] It's not even first week December and already the scores are all over the place. I'd love to still finish top by Boxing Day but it's a long road ahead.
You should try harder and make your predictions more carefully as some of us are on your tail. For example, this week I went up by 10 points at once, taking the 12th line (based on the results of 8 matches), but I already blocked my choice and, apparently, little can change, as I see that almost everyone made similar predictions for the last two matches (even more so if Manchester wins, I will remain the leader of the round, draw or lose, I will win some bitcoins)Tongue

what a shitty round, Liverpool beat us to 1:4, and all other results came far from expected (Chelsea and City will be large surprises, so they come as expected does not count)
West Ham did not win, Leicester played draw, Wolves did not win at home, and they are having solid results lately

looking forward to all-time game tonight between United and Arsenal

This week was not as bad as the week before this one,that was the most disastrous one and 90% of the users in the pool got really bad results.

It most probably is going to end in a draw as the most natural result.Arsenal has topped up their game quite a lot in the latest games and Manchester United is playing at home trying to squeeze as much as possible from this game.At my prediction I had United to win 2-1 but I just changed it to a draw as I think Arsenal is a strong team right now.

Yea..... I thought MW14's games were taking place next week and as a result I missed the predictions for Newcastle-Norwich and Leeds-Palace. To be fair I would've gotten the second match wrong anyway, but I feel like I needlessly dropped draw points on the first match.

Set all my other predictions though, it's been a tricky week so far but hey I managed to salvage some points.
MW14 started early and I almost missed it too. If I didn't get an email from Superbru, I might have lost points for this week's match. But luckily I got 2 exact goals and tried to move up a few numbers on the Leaderboard at least I could finish in the top 10.

3 incidents already Welsh, yeah and this one was at Watford, spotted by a player. I don't want to add to speculation either, but for many fans these last weeks have been their first in a long time. Certainly the roof at Anfield was off way before kick off... all that pent up fanrage if I can call it that, I know cause I was a fan in my local league finally able to get to a stadium after some bans heh... I regrettably did one or two things I should not be proud of =D

Anyway, tight, tight, tight games and I was really lucky Villa got a goal in to give me full points (thanks Gerrard and Watkins), 3-0 for Liverpool again worked out for me, impossible to really predict their exact score these days the way they're just swashbuckling all over the pitch. Robbo and TAA switching flanks every so often, VVD in the enemy's box, Mane and Salah pressing near our corner flag, I just love the way we're playing now, it's as if someone forgot to tell them this isn't 5 a side and they actually have positions to be in haha.

It's not even first week December and already the scores are all over the place. I'd love to still finish top by Boxing Day but it's a long road ahead.

I heard it on the commentary that there was a second incident in another game, which was postponed for around fifteen minutes. Anyone know which one it was, and was it another cardiac arrest? If so, that would be the third publicly known of the season, with the other one being in a Newcastle game a couple of weeks ago.

Seems these things are getting more limelight recently, I know things like this happen somewhat frequently at games, but maybe it just wasn't as publicly obvious in past seasons.

On another note, I'm disappointed that Liverpool conceded, I honestly thought we wouldn't concede today, and score in both halves. At least, I was partially correct. Chelsea, and Manchester City also getting a result after initially struggling is annoying though, really thought this was our opportunity to pull ahead going into the Christmas period.

Persons who love conspiracy have already started and telling us that in the vaccines they have nano particles which after passing some time they become iron in our body thus giving people more cardiac arrests and other heavy illnesses.
So it may be related to that since a huge part of UK population is vaccinated.

Of course I do not believe this but I am seeing more and more of these persons in both TV,social media and the Internet talking about such things,I wonder what is their motivation behind such claims.

What happened on Chelsea match? My local results app has written something like "interrupted due too spectators injury".
Since the game restarted I doubt it was a tragedy,it maybe was some fans not being careful and suffering easy injuries.

It was an emergency, one Watford fans suffered a cardiac arrest but the condition has stabilised after being admitted to the hospital. The game was stopped so that the medical team can cross the field to offer assistance and it was Moussa Sissoko that pointed this out. Things could probably have gone worse for this fans if Sissoko didnt spot this out

I hope it is something more of individual nature and not a tragedy like when whole stand collapses. I guess if it was something like that it would be on the news already and we would know about it.

The game restarted again,right now they are in the 28 minutes of first half while all other games that started at the same time are nearly finishing half time break and ready to start the second half.Since the game restarted I doubt it was a tragedy,it maybe was some fans not being careful and suffering easy injuries.All is good what ends good.Oh and by the way Chelsea just scored right now.
