2nd-4th November

41 players were still standing for Round 3. Nine different teams were picked in this round – the only game not picked was the United v Chelsea game (which was proven to be a wise decision!).

On Saturday, in the lunchtime game, Newcastle entertained Arsenal at St James’ Park – Janet Carr had picked the Gunners. No entry was received from Ste Matthews, so he got Arsenal by default – a 1-0 defeat sees Janet and Ste drop out. In the 3pm kick-offs, Bournemouth hosted Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium – Allan Jones, Dave Phillips, Dave Rogers, Jason Harrison, and John Lamming had picked City but they bow out after a 2-1 defeat. Ipswich were still looking for their first win of the season as they played Leicester at Portman Road – John Roberts had picked Ipswich and they nearly got that 1st win but a late equaiser sees him drop out after a 1-1 draw. Liverpool faced Brighton at Anfield – 20 players were hoping that the Reds could get a second win in a week over the Seagulls and they were rewarded with a 2-1 win. Nottingham Forest took on West Ham at the City Ground – 6 players had picked Nottingham Forest and they ease through with a 3-0 win. Southampton played Everton at St Mary’s – Michael Grierson had picked the Toffees but he exits after a 1-0 defeat. In the teatime game, Wolves welcomed Crystal Palace to Molineux – Alex Ramsden and Craig Milton had picked Wolves but a 2-2 draw sees them also drop out.
On Sunday, Tottenham faced Aston Villa at the Tottenham Stadium – Andrew Wilkinson had picked Spurs and he goes through after a 4-1 win.
On Monday night, Fulham welcomed Brentford to Craven Cottage – Ben Donafee, Gisela Mowles, and Paul Murphy had picked Fulham and they scrape through after two injury time goals as the Cottagers won 2-1.

In total, 11 players dropped out in this round, leaving 30 players still standing. Deadline for Round 4 is Friday 8th November at noon. A full update can be viewed here.
