Round 2 completed. A couple of fallers but not as drastic as we are usually
accustomed to! A PDF update can be viewed
here.
112 players were still standing for Round 2. Nine different teams had been
picked in this round – two in the same game, so at least two players would drop
out in this round! Nobody could pick Luton Town or Burnley due to postponement –
Wolves v Brighton was the only game not to have been played!
There was Friday night action to open up the round as Nottingham Forest played
Sheffield United at the City Ground – 8 players had picked Forest and they go
through courtesy of an 89th minute winner as Forest won 2-1.
On Saturday afternoon, Fulham faced Brentford at the Cottage – Lewis Reilly and
Lisa Mensah had picked the Cottagers while Olly Woodward and Owen Donnelly had
picked Brentford, meaning at least two of them would exit at this stage – a 3-0
win for the Bees saw Lewis and Lisa drop out. Liverpool welcomed Bournemouth to
Anfield – 71 players had picked the Reds to kick off their home campaign with a
win and despite going a goal down and ending up with 10 men, a 3-1 win saw them
through. In the tea-time game, Tottenham hosted Manchester United at the
Tottenham Stadium – Andrew Emmett had picked Spurs and he progressed after a 2-0
win. Later in the evening, Manchester City were playing Newcastle at the Etihad
– Pauline Jackson had picked City and she went through after a 1-0 win.
On Sunday, Aston Villa were looking to bounce back from their opening game
beating as they faced Everton at Villa Park – 16 players had picked Villa – no
selection was submitted by Cameron Green and Reece Turner so they both got Villa
by default – they all go through after a 4-0 win for Villa. In the later game,
West Ham had a London derby as Chelsea visited the London Stadium – Gary Storer
had picked Chelsea and he exits after a 3-1 win to the Hammers.
We had to wait til Monday night to conclude this round as Crystal Palace hosted
Arsenal at Selhurst Park – 10 players had picked the Gunners and a 1-0 win saw
them through.
Just three players drop out in Round 2 – 109 still standing.
Deadline for Round 3 is noon on
Friday 25th August.

A new LMS record has been set with the number of picks – surpassing the 59 who picked Leicester to beat Fulham in 20/21 (and lost!!!)!!! I am quite surprised at there being 9 different teams picked in this round!
