Arsenal won thanks to two goals from the center halves, Holding and Gabriel, conceding only once, but the whole team including Saka, Nketiah, and Martinelli played significant roles. Liverpool went one-nil at Newcastle in a tight game. Aston Villa officially relegated Norwich 2-0. Southampton lost 1-2 at home to Crystal Palace, and so did Watford upon facing a resurgent Burnley. Wolverhampton had a very bad day at home, 0-3 in favor of Brighton. Leeds held for a while but eventually lost 0-4 against Manchester City who forgot to save a goal for their game in Madrid, LOL. Everton went one-nil over Chelsea to try to avoid relegation. The noisy neighbors won 3-1 against a weakened Leicester. Finally, Manchester United produced a more coherent game, beating Brentford 3-0. The seven active participants combined for 70 points (for an average of 10 points per participant) and there was a grand total of 9 correct IKTS predictions.
Stars of the week: ClevelandJames is first on 16 points (and four correct IKTS predictions) with Sonny from Suffolk in second on 11 points (and one correct IKTS prediction) while ben from portsmouth and skinnejay are in third on 10 points (and one correct IKTS prediction each) but Ray from Norfolk is right behind.
Clever pick of the week: Only ClevelandJames predicted the exact score for West Ham versus Arsenal and Southampton versus Crystal Palace. Also, Sonny from Suffolk was the only participant to predict the correct score for Tottenham versus Leicester while Geaux_HR was the only participant to guess correctly for Leeds versus Manchester City. The were also two correct predictions for Aston Villa versus Norwich and another three for Watford versus Burnley.
Crisis pick of the week: A collective crisis due to the outcome of Everton versus Chelsea. Also, many thanks to Geaux_HR for the reverse karma effect when predicting for the Arsenal games.
