Arsenal gets a red card at 35' and basically falls apart after that. I read some guys on twitter predicting 0-5 for Arsenal, 1-2 etc I'm glad I went for the long shot in city though even now it looks like they're going to stun everybody with a stupidly high 7-0 result.

As usual for Arsenal, great 5 minutes of football, then 85 minutes of being annihilated...\

It was a one sided affair from start to finish, Xhaka never just seize to amaze me, what needles and horrible tackle, lucky for Cancelo to have escaped to full effect of the tackle, It was a deserved red card!

We've the tricky 3PM fixtures up next, these are usually the first set of hurdles the week potential winners needs to jump first, Brighton or Everton

Arsenal, Lol. I think putting a score of 4-0 is already a high score which is difficult to be an exact score. But the fact is, only in the first half City can lead by 3-0 and then not even 10 minutes into the second half City have added another goal. Maybe City will still score again considering there is still a lot of time left now. That way, it feels like my hopes have been dashed to get the exact score points.

I had on City 3-1 and was expecting at least one goal by Arsenal but they are really useless. But so far im expecting lots of points from this 5 matches are all going okay and can bring me points if it plays out right.

[NotATether]

Thanks a lot VAR for ruining my Newcastle - Southampton prediction at the last minute. Now I just have a bunch of draws to show, and a measly 3 points from these 5 games.

Lets hope LFC - Chelsea is better.

[swogerino]

I did really bad this week so far,had Newcastle to win 2-1 which was an exact result as long as 98 minute they were hit by Southampton and boom 2-2 as a result.Also had Aston Villa and Brighton to win together with West Ham which all didn't win so far,2.5 points is my lowest this year but there are a few more games which I can try and improve my score.The people who predicts draws usually are the ones who did really well in this round so far as we had three draws.

Arsenal have nothing left only their name for them.
3 games 0 points 0 goals scored and 9 conceded.
This game they were too poor to imagine ad they did not show any reaction during the second half, and they were just a spectator of City's many passes and possession, which reached 80%, so that the London team suffered a deserved defeat, after he only got one goal attempt and it was not even on target for the entire match, compared to 25 for his City.

Yeah, those draws killed me, and the funny thing is this season I actually thought to predict more draws -- so I did get the exact score on Newcastle (thanks VAR and sorry NotATether).

Also thanks VAR for the Liverpool game. Think the sending off was a tad harsh but then it was a clear Mane goal prevented with Reece's arm and the ref didn't have a choice. Lovely to see the red mist descend on Chelski after that heh. Hope we smash a few more in.

It's still all square and 5 minutes to go, Mendy with some really impressive saves to keep Chelsea in the game...

It must be said that the red card literally change the game, Chelsea were the better side before the red card and are forced to sit back in the 2nd half, It could have been a whole lot different even if the penalty was awarded and James didn't get sent off, but rules are rules, I suppose.

They looked just a tad better yes, but the glancing header was something special and Liverpool actually had more shots and chances, just a bit poor at the end. If Elliot were just a shade better at finishing and more courageous (had at least a couple of chances but opted to pass), maybe. But yeah, surprised Chelsea just sat back but they were probably happier with the draw than we were. Impossible to crack when we're not at our creative best.

No surprise quite a few people got exact scores;) Boo.

I had LFC to win, so I got a goose egg.  Boo!

Chelsea did look like the better side, even with only ten men.  They couldn't help but give LFC all those chances, but they did a good job keeping them away form the goal for the most part.  Ironically LFC's best chances were during that fiasco that got James red-carded, while Chelsea still had 11 men.

I think there’s a rule...  If it’s a pen then it’s also a red card.  It can’t be either.  It’s no pen, no red card or both pen and red card.  If you watch the replay you could see the arm had a little swipe on the ball.

We need a new left-sided midfielder. I'm starting to miss Gini already 

[swogerino]

Liverpool game just returned me back on top and this is good because I just had 2.5 points before,with Liverpool correct score I got to 5.5 which is not bad.I am starting to like being at the top but I don't think after the three games of tomorrow I will be there again but I am hopeful I won't lose that many places.

[icopress]

I didn’t score any points in this match, even so I made up for the failure with a tiny rate that should theoretically recoup all of today's losses.



By the way, here is the standard of a true and devoted Liverpool fan ... even in a notoriously losing situation ^{[according to the majority]}, LFC_Bitcoin is unshakable, betting on the defeat of his worst enemies, (considering all this, I immediately wanted to cashout my tiny bet).  

Disclaimer: I don’t know for sure, but I hope that everything is in order, that I have published a part of the forecast of the pool participants for the upcoming match.

That's some nice rewards, more so coming from a freebet.

I've never had it worse before, I got Liverpool to win too...

I've only accrued 2.5 points from 7 games played already, I'm down to 41 position for the week

That red card killed me honestly,Chelsea was dominating the entire first half and i had 1-2 correct result so was expecting at least that they win. In the second half i was even expecting liverpool to win big but they just couldnt score and in the end lost all points in this match hopefully tommorow i will win some points and get back to top 10

[morvillz7z]

Last season, i think it took me around ten rounds to get three exact scores, i got three exact scores today alone, i mean it could've been four if not for Ward-Prowse last-minute penalty (i see others are complaining about it, hey there VAR bros). 

Only rdbase had West Ham and Palace as draw, which is commendable, but how could one go against the Hammers given Antonio's current form, right?

Let's see if i can catch more of those exact scores tomorrow...hehe

[DIA7]

I had 2-1 for Liverpool when James got the red card and the penalty kick for Salah I was sure of Liverpool winning but somehow Chelsea managed to escape with one pointvfron Anfield.
Liverpool pushed a lot for a win but didn't succeed.
The summit have fulfilled its promises after exchanging control and opportunities, one step at a time.
Chelsea, which is full of numbers, will torment everyone without exception because of its flexibility, pressure, midfield and Lukaku tank.
Liverpool whose problem or less lines is its midfield, which was the secret of its success in previous seasons.

[buwaytress]

We need a new left-sided midfielder. I'm starting to miss Gini already 

I keep waiting for Keita to come and return Klopp's faith in him. Or Thiago to remind us of his debut. Elliot's also ok-ish on the right but yeah we're missing some grit down there. But we never did replace our little magician on that left. Gini's a great dribbler but he seldom found a way to unlock stubborn defences the way Coutinho did.

Nicely done! Least if I don't win my prediction someone else profits. But you know United will lose today to a super rare goal from Adama Traore, right? =p

Now when you wrote that, go place betbuilder bet with those markets on it. Should be great odds and you'll kick yourself if you don't play it

Damn, it is impossible for me to get correct score in our pool, falling down the leader slowly but surly. Betting tip, not one game will end with 2:1 result for the favorite today since that are my predictions.

[casperBGD]

solid win in Brighton, and we are within top4 teams, 7 points all
last season started even better, with four wins, but this one seems to be good as well, two matches a side, one win

regarding city rival, Chelsea was almost down, but draw was widely expected, and it suits City best
nevertheless, with Ronaldo in United, it does seem that Manchester duo will take top2 positions in the end

could we see history this season, and Gunners in Championship?
