I thought it was time to stop mourning the loss of my beloved Bielsa and get back to to posting again. This decision was helped in part by Leeds finally winning on Sunday and despite it being against lowly Norwich, the importance of the result cannot be underestimated.
More good news last night too as Leeds U23s beat Man.U U23s which if that wasn't good enough in itself, was compounded as Man.U got outclassed by Atletico Madrid which dumped them out of the Champions League. Shame! A great night all round.
Tonight we're back to the Premiership with a huge game...
's Prediction
Liverpool, with a 4 point gap to leaders City can close that to 1 point with a win tonight and really apply the pressure as we reach the final stages of the season, however, Arsenal are currently on fire and aiming to cement their place in the Champions League next season by making their 3 games in hand count and snuff out any chances of the trailing pack, led by Man.U, catching them.
A really interesting encounter is on the cards!
Arsenal have a poor record against Liverpool both home and away but I prefer to look at current form when assessing a game, which is solid having won their previous 5 games, Liverpool have also won their previous 5 and you'd have to say, have a stronger all round squad but whether this will be enough to overcome a rejuvenated Gunners remains to be seen.
Arsenal need to score which has been a bit of an Achilles Heel for them all season as there is no way Liverpool won't. This isn't going to be a 0-0 game, but a draw it could quite well be hence my prediction...
Prediction: Arsenal 2 : 2 Liverpool - First Goalscorer: Saka
Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER, the CORRECT SCORE AND the TIME OF THE FIRST GOAL as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 15.00 GMT
In the first goal scorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition is fixed at 25K except the time of the first goal competition which rolls over daily starting at 1K. If more than one person chooses the same first goal scorer or correct score, the prize is shared, and everyone gets a little upvote! Don't forget, you can't choose the same prediction as me! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget new rule that only people with a rep of 50 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. My game, my decision is final.
And the Winners were...
I can't believe its been 3 weeks but the last game was Brentford v Newcastle on February 26th and it ended 0-2 with Joelinton scoring the first goal in the 33rd minute.
There were no winners, you were all rubbish lol
So, better luck tonight and don't forget we want the score, first goal scorer and time of the first goal in the comments please!
