We were down to the last 37 players for Round 4 – the last round before the World Cup break. Five different teams were picked in this round. Full results can be viewed here, summary is below:
On Saturday, in the lunchtime game, Manchester City took on Brentford at the Etihad – Martin McShane had picked City to win this one but he exits after a 2-1 win for the Bees. In the 3pm games, Liverpool faced Southampton at Anfield – 23 players were hoping the Reds could make it two wins on the bounce and they were rewarded with a 3-1 win. Tottenham entertained Leeds at the Tottenham stadium – 8 players were hoping for Spurs to bounce back from last week’s defeat and there must have been a few squeaky bums as Spurs finally won a topsy-turvy game 4-3. In the Saturday night game, Wolves welcomed league leaders Arsenal to Molineux – Dave Brown and Pauline Jackson had picked the Gunners and no selection was submitted from Katie McQuade, so she got Arsenal by default. A 2-0 win for Arsenal sees them 3 through.
On Sunday, Brighton took on Aston Villa at the Amex – Adam Dealing and Ben Donafee had picked the Seagulls but a 2-1 win for Villa sees them drop out.
Just the three casualties in this round means we have 34 players still standing when this game resumes after the World Cup.
Deadline for Round 5 will be noon on Friday 23rd December. I will send a reminder nearer the time! Enjoy the World Cup!
