IKTS Week 14: Away to Manchester United.


Saka and Martinelli were the scorers in a much improved second half display against Newcastle. The younger players compensated for unremarkable performances by the more senior players, and Ramsdale had his usual top shelf save against a Doctor Evil lookalike. Steven Gerrard continues an excellent run with a win away against Patrick Vieira, as Crystal Palace lost 1-2 at home to Aston Villa. Liverpool annihilated Southampton. Norwich versus Wolverhampton and Brighton versus Leeds ended without any goals. Brentford won 1-0 at home to Everton to pile further misery on Benitez. The game at Burnley was postponed due to excessive snow. Leicester beat Watford 4-2 as Ranieri visited the grounds where he won an unlikely title a few years ago. Manchester City dominated West Ham but for an amazing goal by Lanzini to reduce the score to 2-1. Finally, Manchester United opportunistically scored once, and only conceded once (on a penalty kick) to surprisingly share the spoils (1-1) at Chelsea. Overall, the eight participants combined for 64 points (or exactly 8 points per participant) and there were 7 exact IKTS predictions.
