Another round with some possible draws? Yes why not 
Make your picks, today is a match day

Chelsea vs. Arsenal? Well, here is a chance for a draw, 1-1 or 2-2 is my prediction, still not sure what to pick as a final one

I completed my picks but after checking last round and my position very upset as this season is really strange look like I am going to be in last tens as today still we have few unpredictable matches.

[big_daddy]

Arsenal has not lost the last 4 away games
The 2-2 is my pick at the and of the brainstorming
And, I made the 2.5 over&both to score bet

So, let’s see how will end my day

Same here, I also picked 2:2 in our pool and put money on both to score. So I am hopping you will be lucky

Watford is 1:0 up in the halftime and it looks like their renaissance will continue. Was about time, they have too good team to be sitting in the relegation zone.

Now we are in 91 minutes and Watford held for 1 - 1 look like this could also some positive for them as they have 1 point for Chelsea vs Arsenal now look like its one side affair Arsenal with 10 men down to 1 goal will face defeat by 1 - 0 or 2 - 0

New Castle done magic injury time 2 goals bring them on level  

Edit Aston villa win the game 95 minute goal give them 3 all points

What a match 
We got the correct score after an early red & penalty, and also I picked my profit out of my ticket on both to score & 2.5 over 

And Arsenal, is moving his statistics on with another unbeaten away match

[hilariousetc]

My first pick was 3:2, now I’m fixed on 2-2
But, you never know what my mind will do until the beginning of the match

Congrats on the correct pick. I did abysmal and only got one measly point from last nights games. I didn't watch any matches but looks like I narrowly missed out on the Sheff/Man City game as City only won buy one late-ish goal. Only three people actually went for the draw so it's a shame I couldn't grab a point from that game. Only examples got the result correct of 1-0 which is surprising to me. I thought more would go with the narrow one goal win.

More than being a show-off, Ronaldo always try to show superiority complex over Messi. He is always running a race against Messi, don't know if Messi even acknowledges his efforts or not. Messi removed his shirt in the El Classico prior to that one. But Messi was playing at Santiago Bernabeu and match was at 2-2 and he scored in extra time which was his 500th goal. This all justify why he removed his shirt. But the Ronaldo's act was purely envious based and he was rightly punished as he received next yellow card just 2 minutes later and was sent off.

I won't compare Salah's act with Ronaldo's as he removed shirt because of the joy of scoring against Man Utd but that may send negative message to people. It may have looked like Salah was excessively desperate to score. I could have imagined something like that from Lingard who is not able to score even a single goal this season but Salah already have 11 in his basket.  Jokes apart, it is kinda disgraceful for the opponent.

I can understand maybe taking your shirt off if you score the winning goal in a cup final or a match that matters but Liverpool are 13 points infront of everybody so win or lose it doesn't matter that much right now. I know it sealed the game for them but so would have an extra minute as the game was over with the next kick

Arsenal showed a lot of fight & resilience last night which is something that’s been missing from previous regimes.

Good for them.

I am not surprised with hard 1:0 win. Sheffield has a very good defence and it's very hard to score against them. Also, in City, I think only Aguero is in good form, check previous round and drawn with Crystal Palace.

2:2 is like a win for Arsenal.  Without Aubameyang and with only 10 players, this is excellent results for him.

Glad to see that @tokeweed slowing down a little bit.  4.5pts behind seems achievable.

[tokeweed]

^  Still a bunch of fixtures left, so it's very veeery possible that I'm not gonna stay on the lead by the end.

Anyway, how about that Newcastle squad eh?  Lolol.

I wasn't expecting them to get the draw, especially not away and then considering they were down to ten men for most of the game. Props to Newcastle also on the draw and for getting two in injury time as well. Nice overhead kick from Lejeune who got both of them as well.

Anyone going for anything other than all home wins today? I don't think Man United and Spurs should have any problems winning by a goal or two, but Leicester are the one I'm a bit worried about. I still think they'll clinch the win but losing their last two games to pretty poor teams has me questioning if they're going to go on a downward spiral now. The fact that they're playing at home and against West Ham who aren't great either is making me go for the home win but West Ham are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference right now and they're tied with all Bournemouth and Watford on 23 points each so I'm a little concerned about what might happen in that game.

[buwaytress]

Newcastle won me the last game but even I didn't think they'd get anything out of this, even if I did predict 1-1. Certainly not before the game, certainly not when they were already down 2 goals! Letting Rafa go was STILL a mistake, but I'm the first to admit I thought SB was the wrong guy to bring in.

Yeah, I was torn between picking 1 of the 3 away teams -- almost all at equal odds according to bookies and just went for the Burnley upset. They won the last game while being the poorer team -- referencing your Leicester mention, but I wonder if that victory improves their morale for today's game. On the other hand United didn't play so shitty (they were just average) and "only" lost by 2 goals... and were praised by OSG somehow... maybe a bit of false confidence leading to some carelessness?

3 points from last night. Hoping a nice exact upset today to keep me in touch... still in 18th and 20.5 points away from a prize spot.

@Trofo @big_daddy  Nice wins you guys got there! BTTS and O2.5 was predictable 

Arsenal showed a lot of fight & resilience last night which is something that’s been missing from previous regimes.

Thats true but Chelsea was also shit, I mean, how bad must you be to blow a 1-0 lead and a 2-1 even though the other team was one man down? I've said it before, Chelsea's defence is just so poor, and like @CryptopreneurBrainboss always says, Kepa never shows up to save the team.
Leno: 6 saves from 8 shots on target. Kepa: 0 saves from 2 shots on target. One team paid 22M to sign one of these GK, the other team paid 80M

I watched the game and celebrated Martinelli goal like hell. It was a great run and I already thought there is no way for Arsenal to score in this one, they were absolutely nowhere near Chelsea goal before that solo run. Kante slip helped, but Martinelli did great anyways.

Kepa is definitely in bad form at the movement and needs a hardware reset

[BitSat19]

I just clicked and Leicester done second goal look like some better as last night again I have many reds today 3 out 3 could be some good Vardy is gone without any goal so FJ7 is already dead now want some good points in pool could be good for this week.

[hilariousetc]

Well I got the score right on the Man United game. I just picked the wrong team  . What the hell is going on with Man United? Ollie was boasting that their result against Liverpool was a good one because they were still in the game until the last kick of the ball, but what's his excuse for getting beat 2-0 at home to Burnley? You know their team is shit when you've got Harry Maguire as captain. Surely De Gea should have the captaincy by now?

Anyone going for anything other than a Liverpool win tonight against Wolves? A draw is looking tempting to me but I'm not sure. Liverpool played them at home just after Christmas and only managed a 1-0 win and the week before that Wolves beat Man City so Wolves getting a point at home isn't a long stretch. A Wolves win would actually take them above Man United and into 5th place and potential get them another Europa place if they stay there. I think I'll watch that game tonight either way.

[buwaytress]

I know they still lost cause they played like shit, but it was precisely OGS's post-match response that made me think they'd lose. I'm not a manager but it wasn't the wording I'd want to hear after losing badly. Not saying hairdryers are right either, but he didn't even seem pissed which... only makes your confused players more confused, and your cocky ones cockier (hence the really wayward Pereyra fancy moves).

Wolves getting a point at home isn't a long stretch.

It never is with Wolves. I still think Liverpool got a bit of luck on a few games in the last stretch since before Christmas and on other days we'd have drawn a couple of them, definitely if not for VAR we'd have dropped 2 to Wolves. I'm still betting on the Reds of course, with a -1 handicap so if it's a narrow win I push -- they have more cover but it's basically a squad full of players capitalizing on first-11 injuries with Wolves. Though if Boly makes a surprise comeback, our attack will have a rabid defender starved off football for 3 months...

I dunno what’s going on at Man Utd, they’re a real mess. De Gea is wasting his career there. He nearly went to Real a few seasons ago, now look at him.

I think Liverpool will win tonight but it won’t be an easy game.

[big_daddy]

The price on Liverpool to win is nice, but there has to be something behind the curtains so I will not bet on Liverpool, I’m on both to score in this match

But, of course, still confident in Liverpool’s winning tonight

Today in pool I am going with Liverpool and for betting purpose I am feeling today both teams to score @1.90 and over 2.5 @1.90 both selections are not bad at all Wolves are in good shape and they can manage to do some goals.

Yeah, Liverpool ML @1.72 is really tempting, they're unstoppable right now, but Wolves are a team that always play their hearts out against the Big 6, and tonight they have the big chance of climbing to the 5th position and being only 3pts behind top 4 but only if they win. BTTS would've also been my pick. Best of luck!
