IKTS Week 32+: FA Cup at Sheffield United then PL at home against Norwich. Corrected...

Finally, Arsenal got themselves a win away where opportunism played a significant role, with youngsters Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock netting two goals against a lackluster Southampton team. Interestingly, the Saints have hauled more points away than at home, and did snatch a tie at the Emirates earlier in the season a long time ago. Liverpool won the title after destroying Crystal Palace, courtesy of Chelsea beating Manchester City, with the City defense inheriting the slapstick style of defense that Arsenal parted with for the day. The usual gang of Manchester United, Tottenham, and Wolverhampton won their games. Leicester tied at home against Brighton, with Maupay missing a penalty, and Schmeichel easily saving it. There were three other games that offered little interest to Arsenal fans.

Scores for the week:

hansdampf 9 (1)
Ray from Norfolk, Virginia 9 (1)
inthekcmix 9 (0)
ClevelandJames 8 (1)
Geaux_HR 8 (1)

Stars of the week: hansdampf and Ray from Norfolk lead on 9 points each (and one correct IKTS prediction apiece) but inthekcmix is right there in third also on 9 points (but no correct IKTS predictions) while ClevelandJames and Geaux_HR (with one correct IKTS prediction apiece) are on 8 points, a single point behind.

Clever pick of the week: Exact scores for hansdampf and Ray from Norfolk for the noisy neighbors against West Ham. Likewise, ClevelandJames and Geaux_HR had the exact scoreline for Newcastle at home to Aston Villa.

Crisis pick of the week: A collective crisis as nobody predicted that Chelsea would beat Manchester City 2-1 at Chelsea, but credit to hansdampf who predicted 2-2, and coming close as Sterling hit the woodwork.
