Spurs, Manchester United, Leeds. 3 teams out of FA Cup so soon, Spurs is expected even Leeds but Manchester United? I guess they did get the toughest opponent of all so nothing too bad about it.

Did Leeds not win their match 3-1 to qualify to the next round? They were in the draws last night and face Birmingham in the next round. I think you may have meant Palace.
Manchester United was not a surprise to me, Brighton are a much better team than them at the moment, their internal situation with the lack of an experienced coach only makes it worse.
EFL semi-final first leg tonight. City will want to leave St James' Park with something and then go for the win at home. I expect there to be goals from both teams, with a potent attack and not so convincing defense.

Hah! Damn you right. I was 100% sure when I looked I saw Leeds was knocked out, must be a third dimension the mafia forgot to close for me when I looked inside for a while.

Back to Manchester City, who keep getting stronger every season, no way Newcastle can win with 2 goals difference in the next leg. I guess we better prepare for the Manchester Blue to return this trophy to their cabinet.

Bet so many people lost BTTS here

City already have 1 foot in the final. Newcastle could not handle their wing threat and did not pose much in an attacking sense. They should have defended the 1 goal deficit they had and not open up which led to them conceding another.

Arsenal were good against Chelsea, I do not think we suffered enough to have conceded 2 goals which makes the second leg a bit more edgy.

Surely Liverpool can beat Burnley at Anfield on Saturday, I know we’ve been average for a lot of the season so far but you have to expect to beat Burnley at home surely.

Wirtz is starting to find his feet, Ekitike is back fit so I expect 3 points which will really help in our quest to qualify for the CL.

It's important 3 points for Liverpool or otherwise they'd be playing with fire. If they go through another month of draws and losses, I think Brentford, Newcastle, Manchester United and Chelsea would be smelling blood. With regards to the 4th UCL qualifier, it's looking rough for all of them. Aston Villa is in a decent position and since they are a very strong team at home, I don't expect them to drop too many points. They could still drop out of the top, but I think it is not likely. Chelsea and a few other teams are able to take that 4th spot though. It's not going to be a relaxed season for LFC.

Yeah, Newcastle have to attack, and to get 2 goals... they would need to be full on front. That means City can exploit the mid and defence thats bound to be empty. Another City win, they can only make one mistake which is to defend the lead. And I doubt they do it even though Pep is known to do such things.

Arsenal and City in the final, thats the most likely outcome here.
