Historically the Spurs do well against Leicester, especially Harry Kane.  I'm not so sure why clubs this season lose mometum everytime you're starting to think their picking up pace and would start dominating their opponents.  It's happened to Everton, Chelsea, LFC, City and now Spurs.

indeed, seems that so many good teams are in the league, that is almost impossible to keep momentum, and empty stadiums are taking their tolls as well
Everton started great, then had some nut loses and now they won three in a row, which is great, but I simply cannot overstate how surprised I am that Leicester is doing this good so far, and same for Manchester United, they have six wins and a draw since lost match against Arsenal at home, while Arsenal has five loses and two draws since that match, I bet that Arsenal would like that they lost from Manchester but took their score afterwards Wink

would be interesting tonight, but Wolves and Chelsea should go through

Well, Tottenham with 2 losses in a row, I wonder what's Mourinho going to say today.

I didn't expect the thrashings Liverpool gave and Leeds received. I went for a mere 1-0 victory to Liverpool and a 2-2 draw with Man U and Leeds but maybe that was wishful thinking. Leeds didn't play that bad really and had most of the possesion but their defence is just so leaky and Man U were just breezing past them. I narrowly missed out on £250 from a free £5 bet as I had both teams to score in each half, two cards each and 2 corners in each half and the only thing that let me down was the cards as only Man United got one. There's usually a fair few in these sorts of rivalries but maybe the fans not being there didn't fire them up enough.

I think I could be set to get the wooden spoon  Grin
Absolutely terrible match week for me so far, I have 1 point atm Cheesy:D

At least Liverpool are doing well otherwise I might be slightly annoyed at my incompetence Cheesy

These last two games are hard to call as well. I might have to go with draws but Chelsea should be able to beat West Ham but they've lost their last two matches and West Ham have drawn and one their last two so I don't really have confidence in them.

Well, Tottenham with 2 losses in a row, I wonder what's Mourinho going to say today.

I wonder if he told Brendan Rodgers that the better team lost that day  Grin.

Who’s ready to do battle again tomorrow? I’m coming for those higher positions now. Your boy LFC_Bitcoin gave you all a head start by having a bad first 10 or so matchweeks but I am coming now  Tongue Wink

**Fighting talk**

Well this didn’t age well, I’m one of the lowest scorers for this match week Cheesy
Hopefully I get a few points in tonights games so I can avoid that dreaded wooden spoon.

Haha don't worry you weren't the only one caught out by results. I think quite a few of us also thought this was the week for Leeds to surprise us all and kick United in the teeth. 30+ shots in total taken by each team though so it could have gone either way for finishing!

bigdaddy is the big winner so far but I also gained some points so I'm not so disappointed:) Thinking hard now to keep or change my picks.

Leeds is a good team though - maybe they can nick a point (or 3) Grin
Not looking so good for the Leeds at the moment, they are already 3:0 down and it looks like united will have a nice Sunday afternoon. Just placed few minutes before the game started on Leeds +1 Asian handicap. They I tune in 5 minutes late and my bet is already down the drain. I hope Leeds will score a goal or two and not just break apart.

It's really great to see us perform so well with Van Dijk and Gomez out, I thought we'd be in a much worse position after 1/3 of the season. If United win against Leeds today, they will be the ones that are the closest to us - 5 points behind with a game in hand. Have to admit I did not see that happening as well.

I got 5 points in this round so far, which is pretty good for me. Like many others, I managed to guess "2:1" in the match of Everton vs Arsenal, so it helped with the points a lot  Grin
I guess some of us just got lucky in this round, whereas pros like you and Steve got only one point so far. But we're only halfway through this round so far, so the spoon situation can still change drastically. In any case, it's not a big deal to get a spoon once, especially since your overall performance is already very impressive.
Good luck!

I really still don't know why I find it so hard to pick Arsenal to lose in this kind of games, even when I have a great conviction that they are just going to lose yet again,
I sort of have the same problem but at least I am confident enough to play that Arsenal is not winning. That way I cashed some nice money this season but it could have been way more if I played just outright against them.

One good market I started playing more and more on games like this is Everton 1x and over 1.5 goals. It payed almost double from simple 1x and I was quite sure this game would have over 1.5 goals. That market allows me to win even if the game ends 1:1 which is sort of the result I am most afraid off when betting on games like this.

 Seven heaven from LFC, I never even needed to check, I already knew there was nobody from the pool getting 1.5 point from that fixture...

Probably because the odds were not too good either. I have been picking Barca at 1.5x thinking it's nice odds to beat teams like Valencia and then losing a lot. Arsenal have been giving good odds to opponents like 5x and above that's when you should be betting against them I guess.

They are playing like zombies now. Even Willian whom everyone thought was an excellent buy was lazy throughout.

and they did it, third in a row for Toffies, here they are coming back to the top of the table, it is actually city rivals on positions one and two at the moment, rare thing for Premier league, if the city is Liverpool Smiley
Everton was not that good today, but three points are great, and since this is third win, aspiration for CL are back, hopefully we can stay that high for few rounds

Good for me and those who had 2 - 1 in the pool. I thought in this match we will have more goals but I was confident that Everton will win. I have had some insight about it in another thread.

Against Southampton Aubameyang saved them, Southampton were better team in that match.
They were better against Burnley but lost anyway.
They were not near to the standard of Tottenham so lost obviously
Lost against Wolves
Drew against Leeds
Lost against Villa

Since the win against Utd they have not won any match in EPL and it's been one and half months 🤣

So after all these, it does not matter how Everton played but Arsenal were meant to lose today too.

I could not watch any of the match today both Liverpool and City match. But seeing 0 - 7 win for the boys was crazy. Did palace played too bad or boys were not giving them any chance?

In the City match I wanted to be creative and gone with a draw but today City decided to win the match LOL

Still continuing my bad scoring spells.

Everton ahead, I need them to win by 2 - 1 please.

I'm not watching any matches live but I see Danny Ings subbed before HT at Flashscore.  That can't be good.  Injury?  Anybody watching the City match vs the mighty Saints?
I watched it but didn't really pay attention to it. Grin

I just regret that both teams really wasted chances, because I saw that both teams always had good opportunities to score goals, but there were no good finishes. Apart from that, I feel City benefited a little from the referee's decision because otherwise it is very possible that Southampton could have scored from the penalty spot but the referee did not take sides.

Hope you’re enjoying the game bro, I just popped on at HT to see if anybody is talking about it. We haven’t played all that well but three moments of magic, BANG BANG BANG & it’s 3-0. What a team, we are privileged to witness this team. I’m 34, I waited my whole life for LFC to be this good, very happy.   

My man, TOTALLY enjoying it! We were killing it last game, backheels and tight triangle passes in midfield with Trent, Williams, Gini... none of that today but I'll take 3 goals up any day. Mane assist, Mina breaks his duck. Then Bobby assist, Mane goal. Robbo returns cross to Bobby, Bobby slides one in.

You know what the bleeding bummer is? I KNOW I put in 3-0 prediction but I just checked and none of my week's picks were entered! Goddang =(

Edit: Hendo 4-0, so okay I don't feel so bad, sure I'll get 1 point anyway for correct outcome if my auto pick went through;) Saw Hendo's goal coming miles away as he was jogging up haha. Assists and goals from everywhere across the pitch. The machine I miss, and Salah gets a break, how nice! We deserve

**Fighting talk**

You and me both. I've got a silly big bet down on a 2-leg acca (Spurs already hit) and Palace at just over 35/10 so looking very much forward to taking that home for a pre-Christmas bankroll. If it hits, I have a whole week to divide it out on loads of bets over the busy period.

I really want to put some distance between us and the pack by New Year's. We'll have Leipzig to deal with after.
