IKTS Week 20: Arteta versus Lampard.

The first half of the season is over! Arteta’s first game in charge was far more exciting than any of Emery’s this season, bar the famous nine minutes against West Ham. Liverpool had a huge win at Leicester while Manchester City lost at Wolverhampton because Ederson lacked discipline and Mendy made a significant mistake. The noisy neighbors beat Brighton without really dominating and Chelsea, our next opponent, lost at home to Southampton!

Scores for the week:

ClevelandJames 10(1)
Geaux_HR 6 (1)
hansdampf 6 (1)
inthekcmix 5 (1)
Ray from Norfolk, Virginia 5 (0)

Stars of the week: ClevelandJames had a great week, hauling 10 points (and one correct IKTS prediction) while Geaux_HR and hansdampf are tied for second on 6 points (and one correct IKTS prediction) but inthekcmix and Ray from Norfolk are right behind.

Clever pick of the week: ClevelandJames was the only one to predict the exact score of 1-0 for the Everton-Burnley game, hauling 3 points (and one correct IKTS prediction) while Ray from Norfolk had the correct outcome and goal difference, good for 2 points, but the others scored donuts.

Crisis pick of the week: A collective crisis due to the results of the Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City fixtures.
