Welcome to the fourth and final game of Last Man Standing this season. 93 players have entered, meaning a prize pot of £465. Eleven different teams have been picked in this opening round – four of them against each other meaning we will have at least two casualties in this opening round!
The Premier League resumes with a Saturday lunchtime game this week as Manchester City host Liverpool at the Etihad – Dave Rogers, David Mackintosh, Gisela Mowles, John Roberts and Steve Smith have picked City to win this one. In the 3pm games, league leaders Arsenal host Leeds at the Emirates – 54 players have picked the Gunners – over half of the total players! Bournemouth entertain Fulham at the Vitality stadium – Anthony Donafee has picked Bournemouth to win this one. Brighton face Brentford in the race for a European place at the Amex stadium – seven players have picked the Seagulls. Crystal Palace have their 1st game back under Woy as they welcome Leicester to Selhurst Park – Daniel McCorley has picked the Foxes. Nottingham Forest take on Wolves at the City ground in a relagation battle – Joey O’Brien has picked Forest while Tony Raybould has picked Wolves – meaning at least one of them will exit this game at the first hurdle! In the evening game, Chelsea take on Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge – eight players have picked the Londoners.
On Sunday, West Ham face their relegation rivals Southampton at the London Stadium – eleven players have picked the Hammers.
We then have to wait til Monday night for this opening round to complete as Everton welcome Tottenham to Goodison Park – Matthew Kitching and Ste Corbett have picked the Toffees while Roger Fiveways has picked Spurs, meaning someone will also exit after this game!
Good luck to everyone – well apart from the five who have picked City anyway……
