30th September to 2nd October
42 players were still standing for Round 7. Five different teams have been picked in this round – four of them were against sides that were still looking for their first win of the season, including the three promoted sides. That sounded ripe for an LMS jinx to strike…….
All five featured games were in the Saturday 3pm games. Bournemouth welcomed
Arsenal to the Vitality stadium – Adam Dealing, Carl Jackson, Paul Maiden and
Vikki Darby had picked the Gunners – no selection was submitted by Jonny Trash
so he gets Arsenal by default – a comfortable 4-0 win for Arsenal saw them
through. Everton hosted Luton at Goodison Park – 12 players had picked the
Toffees to pile more misery onto the Hatters but the LMS jinx truck as a 2-1 win
for Luton saw them crash out! Manchester United had a repeat of their midweek
Carabao Cup game as Crystal Palace headed back to Old Trafford – Dave Goodall,
Gemma Jackson, Jackie Milton and Janet Carr were hoping that lightning struck
twice but a 1-0 for Palace saw them also exit. Newcastle faced Burnley at St
James’ Park – 13 players had picked the Toon Army and they progress with a 2-0
win. West Ham took on Sheffield United at the London Stadium – 8 players had
picked the Hammers and they also go through with a 2-0 win.
16 players drop out, leaving 26 players still standing.
Deadline for Round 8 is
noon
on
Friday 6th October.
