IKTS Week 7: A visit to Brighton.



Arsenal stormed the noisy neighbors 3-0 within 34-35 minutes then saw the rest of the game, conceding a single goal late on, but unfortunately losing Xhaka for several months due to a tear of the MCL. Chelsea failed to score at home to Manchester City who won by a single goal on a Jesus shot deflected by Jorginho. Manchester United also lost 0-1 to a visiting Aston Villa whereby Martinez saved a penalty without even lifting a finger by jinxing Fernandes. Everton registered a routine 2-0 home win against Norwich. Leeds lost at home 1-2 at the death to West Ham. Leicester versus Burnley ended up tied at 2-2. Watford versus Newcastle and Crystal versus Brighton both ended 1-1. Southampton lost 0-1 at home to Wolverhampton. Finally, a goal fest as Brentford tied Liverpool 3-3 in West London. For the week, there was a total of 45 points for the 7 active participants (skinnejay being unable to post predictions) for an average of 6 and 3/7 while there were nine correct IKTS predictions.

Stars of the week: ClevelandJames is first on 11 points (and three correct IKTS predictions) with Geaux_HR in second on 10 points (and two correct IKTS predictions) and Sonny from Suffolk in third on 7 points (and two correct IKTS predictions) but inthekcmix is right behind.

Clever pick of the week: Only ClevelandJames predicted the exact score for the Arsenal triumph and only Geaux_HR predicted the correct score for Watford-Newcastle. Otherwise, there were three exact predictions for Leeds versus West Ham and four correct predictions for Everton versus Norwich.

Crisis pick of the week: A collective crisis as nobody predicted the outcome of Manchester United versus Aston Villa, but who would complain?
