At least the title race has hotted up a bit. City have two games in hand still so they'll probably over take Arsenal soon enough. Fulham and West Ham are their next two fixtures but they've still got the Champions League to contend with as well.

The winner(s) of the Round 29 Yellow Cap will also win:

Had a nice win from a freebet last weekend:



Got this threefold on for tonight:



Bournemouth might scrape a draw since they're desperate for points but so are Southampton if they're to avoid relegation. Could be fiery either way.

That was a heartbreaking loss for the Gunners.  I based my prediction more on hope than expectations, but hey, it's not like I've ever claimed I'm not biased.

I'm hoping City's hectic schedule with the Champions League will cause them to drop a couple of matches in PL, and the Gunners can get their shit together for the remaining matches.  Their last three outings have been dismal, after having accomplished so much this season.

Bastard  .

LOL, that was an amazing week of predictions for me.  Not a bad take for my first yellow cap.

Had a nice win from a freebet last weekend:

Congrats!

I'm rooting for Southampton, it would be sad to see them get relegated.  Even if they do, I expect we'll see them back in the PL after next season.  There is a lot of excitement at the bottom of the table going forward.

Thanks Sportsbet.io for the free bet from the yellow cap. I thought to use it and placed these bets.



I thought I will have some exciting minutes but just after placing the Multi Nottingham scored LOL

Now the hope is on the single bet. Let's hope Liverpool wins. Hard call though.

The risk I was taking in the City match seems gone in vain LOL

Congratulations on winning these tickets. I also placed my three free bets and didn't achieve any victories, but I still have one last bet that I will turn into a successful shot this time. Sometimes I lose focus in choosing the right teams to place bets on, which gives me a headache. Especially in the Arsenal match, the odds were very tempting, but Manchester City had the winning spirit. Also, Everton, who are threatened with relegation to the second division, did not perform as well as we have seen in previous seasons. They always managed to save themselves from the crocodile.

See how I handled my free bets:



  Incredible luck! Liverpool was also within a hair's breadth of all my 4 picks failing. The second bet contains unplayed games, but the first event is the same selection - Real win with a handicap. I wonder how I can win the yellow cap in the last round - in general I am very unhappy with my luck lately.

I lost the three fold and won the single slip. There were two free bets for me not three.

Southampton failed. I too had Southampton but in the pool. You were close in this by the way. Even the draw between Tottenham vs Utd.

It looks like you just had an early Christmas shopping LOL

[darxiaomi]

Awesome again a chance, but i have two sides on this.

From one side im really glad and interested in winning the merch.
In the other side, i have a curse, everytime when its some merch in the air i always fail misserabily to catch one of them 

But well lets change the history. 

I quoted myself only to delight this.

Incredible i win the round one round after two rounds in a row of merch gift. Always when its merch in the pot i cant win.


Well, about the games, i cant see so much , i only see when spurs make the 2-1 Man utd have to make the 3-1 and not ended scoring. And well we see how it ended 2-2.

another lose for Everton, and situation is now real grim
our play could be seen as fourth goal that we conceived, Isak rolled down whole our team to get to goal line, that is how we play this season, circling around and cannot get wins

new round starts right away, more matches in this round, and we are facing Leicester in a relegation derby, seems that we are best candidates for Championship, although winner from this one will be in much better position, Southampton is already out now

I won’t be sad to see the end of Everton in the PL. As somebody who has been to derbies between LFC & Everton I have experience of their fans chanting about Hillsborough, fans dying etc. They also glorified Pickford’s tackle which badly injured VVD. They celebrated the titles Man City beat us to by a couple of points, they mocked us for the CL Final losses in 2018 & 2022. So I will very much be hoping they get relegated.

I think it can be either one,Leicester or Everton as both teams are performing much alike and they are playing pretty badly this year.Most likely this game is a final for them and as you said the one who will win the game will be much better than the other.

While Southampton is already out I don't understand what the f*ck they were trying to do against Arsenal,just removing them of title hopes maybe as they cannot be safe no matter the case.

Also in this round in the pool I thought to have done massively bad but I see all the guys above me to have done the same and we are going to the next round already tomorrow,just 5 to go plus some postponed matches.

Yeah but as you said City still has a couple more matches to play.  I think the momentum is shifting towards City's side.  I think Guardiola is going to win the league...  Again.  And he's gonna get eliminated by Real Madrid at the Champions League...  Again.  

That's gonna be funny and not in a good way as the UCL is getting a bit too ridiculous for City now.  Can't wait to watch both legs and laugh out loud if the Italian out foxes Pep again.

He must give up one to get the other. But the question is, which will Pep let go? the CL or the league. The pressure is now on City, who have more matches to play than Arsenal and will face Real Madrid in a few weeks, whose only goal this season is to reclaim the Champions League. The Laliga title is getting out of reach.

[arallmuus]

I dont think Pep will do so. City is going to play against Leeds 4 days before the 1st leg CL against Real Madrid so probably pep is going for his usual lineup then play as aggresive on the first half while avoiding injuries to secure some goals before subbing out some of his main players

Then in between 1st and 2nd leg, City will play against Everton which is not a threat to City even if Pep is resting most of his players for the preparation of the 2nd leg so yeah after that it will be a walk in the park for Pep as their fixture is not that packed anymore. Real Madrid is the only main hassle for City's fixture right now

Big loss for Everton at home can cost them also in the goal scoring difference aswell. Everton needs points fast because the battle is really close and it would be a huge shame for a team so big in england to get relegated to championship. Everton slips away every season from not getting relegated i dont know if they can pull another miracle now aswell

Pep has the squad to attack both and due to his rotations all his players are actually quite fresh. You never see his side dropping in form towards the end of season like it happens to some other teams with smaller rosters. For instance I am expecting Brighton and Arsenal to drop some more points since till the end of season.

This year CL should be his as well unless he does something stupid and tries to change the way his team plays just for Real like he did in previous seasons. If he just enters that game as normal PL fixture he will win without much problems.

City has a deep squad.  They could handle both competitions but should slightly be giving a bit more priority to the Champions League imho, as they're facing the Italian and his boys from the capital of Spain.    So yeah...  He should be resting some his best players.  

Their next EPL matches are up against Fulham, West Ham and Leeds.  They go to Madrid after that.  :/  Would've been easier if the first leg was at Manchester.

Edit:  Am I seeing this right?  Brighton 6 - 0 vs Wolverhampton?

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Edit:  Am I seeing this right?  Brighton 6 - 0 vs Wolverhampton?

Yes and we saw similar type of high scoring two or more matches in the last round too. Today's first match between Palace vs West Ham had 7 goals all together. Too bad I was attempting to pick Palace but settled with West Ham to win unfortunately. 4 - 3, 6 - 1, 3 - 2, 4 - 2 or even 4 - 1 these type of results bring one point most of the time but you need to pick for the right side. It benefits in the slam point only.

In this round we have 13 matches and slam points will play a major role. So far everyone did fairly good job.

A forward line of Grealish, Halaand, and Mahrez with KBD and Gundogan behind will easily run through Madrid's defense as they do not have a good 1-on-1 RB and LB currently, but you never know, Pep is one guy who gambles with his line up in an important game when it is less expected, he should remember that some key players in his team are getting old and might not get the best out of them in 2-3 years from now, this could be their only chance of him finally winning the CL for City

With Nottingham and Wolves both losing, it is now mathematically impossible for Chelsea to be relegated even if they lose all of their remaining games. I can't believe that I'm typing this, but YEAH, we're staying u bitch. 

[swogerino]

Well most people got 4 points and I believe the exact score of Brentford we all got that,the only ones at the top are the ones who predicted a Crystal Palace win,things aren't changing a lot in these last rounds of the Premier League,this one though is a big round with 13 games and most likely in the end of the round we will see some changes.

Chelsea is going to lose tomorrow or after tomorrow whenever they are playing Arsenal but that won't be enough for Arsenal to be hoping of being Champions this year,they had everything in their power and they threw it away as I doubt City will be losing points in these remaining games.

I was just coming in here to say that but I should have known you'd be among the first to be counting the points. Since they're guaranteed a stay, I hope the continue to gift us with memories, because I'm betting every game against them as long as odds are above 5/1 heh.

Happy to keep you, really, just won't be the same you know

few weeks ago they were thinking that they can kick-out Real from CL, and now they are happy not to be relegated, what a twist for fans
at least we are fighting for bare survival since round 1, and Nottingham lose is step in right direction, what we need now is to get some point to our side, Leicester is a good chance

even West Ham seems secure at this point, to far from relegation

regarding Brighton, can't remember this much 6,7 or more goals results in previous EPL season, maybe is just a short memory, dough
