IKTS Week 33+: A trip to Wolverhampton.

Great week for the mighty Arsenal, with a win at Sheffield United in the FA Cup with Ceballos the last gasp hero, and at home to Norwich, with Aubameyang scoring twice (thanks to the generosity of the Norwich goalkeeper and defense) and assisting Granit Xhaka while Soares scored from outside the surface on his Arsenal debut as he came in for a very eventful cameo replacing Bellerin. Wolverhampton won at Aston Villa and Manchester United won at Brighton, but Leicester lost at Everton and Chelsea lost surprisingly at West Ham while Tottenham lost at Sheffield United. Of the six clubs in the Greater London area, only the Gunners and the Hammers won, while the other four clubs lost. The final fixture was a huge loss for recently crowned champions Liverpool at the hands of the previous title holders, with KDB, Sterling, and Foden orchestrating the rout. It looked like Liverpool had celebrated too much, and the loss did not really matter, as Liverpool had already lost a game at Watford.

Ray from Norfolk, Virginia 6 (1)
