I'm going to be just flooding myself with footie today, and I've got money on the very first game for the Blues to get the better of Ronaldo and co, but I'll also take Trofo's advice and go against Chelsea today -- but I'm keeping my predictions as is for now.

I'd go Brighton against the Gunners too but can you believe the odds are actually with the home team? This makes sense to bet on Arsenal actually.

Ronaldo is sitting on the bench for the moment, is it just weather that do not suit him, or there is something else, it is to be seen
nevertheless, good for my boys, it will be easier to get something other than zero points today, although there is a bunch of forwards injured and not playing for Everton

not so sure about Chelsea going down today, I think that it would be an routine win 2:0 or 3:0, two loses in a row is enough to bring them back to reality

I would agree with on Chelsea, I really don't see them losing today and it's likely going to be a relatively easy win, Tuchel would have analysed their last games which was epic fail as the team barely made any threat over the two matches and Southampton for one have also been playing nothing but awfully so far.


Everton almost took the lead against Man Utd with about 5 minutes left of play, but VAR to Man Utd's rescue, they is probably just going to end as a 1-1 draw. Starting the game round with another wrong pick towards the pool 😞

[buwaytress]

Hey Ole drops points, but really, Mina made me jump, damn you VAR (right call of course). Worse, I lost Everton bet AND United 2-1 prediction. Draws kill me and my hedge.

They're ahead and already but still hope you're wrong, but the return to mean always rears its head, for sure, so yeah, Chelsea win is the most likely outcome. 15 minutes and already looking good.

What's worrying for their boss now is that their most talented strikers seem to be getting last season's disease (few chances converted, and unable to get themselves in scoring positions). Scary though, Mount, Havertz, Ziyech still on the bench! Lukaku was their solution but he's going to get figured out by mid-season I think.

As long as it hits me Soccer Blackjack, I'm good. How many of you from this pool bet on that faithfully?

A draw that United should be happy with after Yari Mina's shot and the canceled goal.
Manchester lost 5 points against Old Trafford in one week and the bleeding series continues and question marks over the performance and choices are increasing week after week.
 They had a great first half but second half was not up to standards, Fred should not be starting another match for United as he is clear the weakest link in Manchester United team and he had been there for a while.

As for Chelsea they are currently winning 1-0 and it's almost half time for them they just had a goal for Werner disallowed by VAR so we could see more goals come in the 2nd as they are still hungry for goals.

Oh man what a tricky day in EPL as making bets today is really a pain in the chin. I do think we might have a lot of draws in the games that are now in the play as Leeds really looks tired once again and Wolves with Newcastle doesn't look like any of these teams could score again.

[swogerino]

I screw up big time so far with only 1 points so far which looks to be the worst week so far for me.A lot of unexpected results so far and I made an error of predicting five draws but none of which has come true so far at least in the games of today.I hope to forget as soon as possible this week and we have two week vacation because of national teams which we can use to reflect and not rush to put 5 draws in 10 games.

I stopped after rule change, don't like value proposition any more. Previously if we got really slow first half I knew I am at least getting my money back, now I have to watch and bite my nails to earn a push. Still solid promo but I know it was so much better so that kind of ruined it for me.

Chelsea and Wolves did their jobs as expected, Leeds win can not be called a surprise either. Burnley - Norwich finishing as a draw was also quite predictable but I expected goals in that one, not 0:0 for sure. Man utd was the only really surprising result, even more so because Everton played without DCL and Richarlison.

I've only managed to get 4.5 points so far, Man Utd was at it this week again, I had them to win.

I also had Burnley to win, because Norwich have been the weakest team in the past few rounds.



Arsenal vs Brighton had just kickoff, another fixture that I hope to grab some from points from, I went with a 2 - 1 win for Arsenal, but Brighton would likely not make it easy.

[swogerino]

I just lost the first place to Sojourner for 0.5 points and I think I am going to lose points tomorrow as I have a lot of draws predicted,sure I can change them as I never lock my picks but I will go deep down and believe my gut although this can lead to losing several positions tomorrow.Now I am back on earth again after dreaming high for these past 6 weeks.

For me this is currently the best week so far since the start of the premier league. Im still in shock that i guessed the correct score for Burnley vs Norwich 0:0. I lost points on Man United and that was really close as well and later on Arsenal. Hopefully tommorow i get some more good results and go into top 10

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Big match alert!!!
Liverpool vs City in Anfield.
Take a side!

I go with 2 - 1 Liverpool.

Yeah, I get that. A few games already ending on 4 points on the first half, and then you're not enjoying the 2nd half any more as it's likely a bust (although a couple of games managed to push with a lot of points there, but I do get it's weird cheering for a push and not a hit!).

Last night ending first half in the Atleti-Barca game as 9 points normally gets me excited for a hit too but only 4 points to bust also took out some joy from what was a great match (Atleti winning and Suarez scoring to hit yesterday's Euro specials).

It's barely the middle of the matchweek, and yeah, those draws could still get you on top. I'm surprised to be back up myself, but we still got big games coming and I think we do have a split community on Liverpool-City!

Well done, 9 points after a tough 6 games is still 1.5 average, which I'd take any day, all day.

I can't wait for the LFC-City game today. It's still eraly in the season so there's not much pressure on both teams, the y started well so it has the possibility to be an open game full of attacking play.

I will bet on Liverpool, I do feel that they started better and that their first 11 is currently stronger than City's. City is lacking a focal point in attack and Liverpool with Van Dijk back in the team will be really hard to break down. Odds of 3+ are really tempting.

[cygan]

I can't wait for the LFC-City game today. ...

I feel the same way.
last weekend there was the top game between fc chelsea and man city and today there is already the next top game liverpool vs. man city
again, it's hard to make a prediction, because both clubs can win...
and to my current matchday points, i'm still dissatisfied and hope today for a little more points like yesterday

[buwaytress]

@Cryptofrka @cygan Well I know at least one other person also excited. As usual I am completely loaded up on my bets on these big games where Liverpool's concerned.

Happy that even at Anfield, we're the underdogs (3/1) so I can win more at City's expense (right?). Blackjack is active on them too -- I think we could end up busting high here but I don't care ha.

Brentford taking the lead against Hammers, not the expected pick for majority but I don't mind losing this one to see them get more points as they deserve.

My Monday will either be really good or really bad. Let's see =D

[swogerino]

I am hoping to get some points from Liverpool game as none is coming up true to my predictions from these three games that are already playing.I see this is the worst week for me from the beginning of the pool and I will forget it soon.I will lose at least a couple of other positions from today games,this is when you try to predict draws and the games end like they should in Premier League which is not common,as there are always surprise results but that today seem very distant.

[Trofo]

No matter if you are LFC or City supporter I don't believe there is football lover out there who does not look forward to this game. I really can't decide on the outcome of this one. I had City to win 1:0, then I changed it to LFC 2:1 and now settled on 1:1  Just made my bet on both to score as that market gives me most joy while watching. I can cheer for both teams when they are going forward.

Just checked the line ups and as expected both managers brought out their best eleven for this match. Granted Firminho could maybe take Jota place, and he will probably around 65th minute. Glad to see De Bruyne in first 11, we missed his magic so far this season. Damn, City has long bench: Sterling, Mahrez, Torres, Stones and Fernandihno. They would be irreplaceable players in most of squads.

I had 2-1 for Liverpool but since many people have it as a prediction I changed it to 0-2 Manchester City as seeing the bench with those names you mention it looks like it can be a sure win for them if they play at 100% of their capacity.Personally I am a fan of Liverpool and if Liverpool wins I would be very happy but I want also to get something if they lose so I am keeping 0-2 as a result which for me is highly unlikely but this week I have screw up so even if I screw a bit more don't really care.

Brentford screwed me otherwise I would be at the top of the standings once again,these late goals have screwed me so many times.
