So lets take a look at the fixtures. Utd and Tottenham is tough to call so I will stay well clear of that. If anything Spurs will hammer them but there are easier fixtures this weekend. Mourinho is miserable again after his defeat last weekend. The misery may get him sacked. The central defence of Lindelof and Bailly had an absolute nightmare last Sunday. If he plays the same players then Tottenham will absolutely crucify them after winning their last 2 games.

Manchester city are away to new boys Wolves. I cannot see city slipping up here and they are my choice for this week.

Liverpool have Brighton which normally I would say its a given but Brighton caused a shock against Manchester United last week and Chris Hughton is flying it there as manager so I am staying clear of this match also but Liverpool are odd's on favourites.

Watford are playing Palace. Watford won two out of two so far but palace made Liverpool work last Monday night and they are not a bad team under Hodgson at all. I predict a draw here.
Arsenal play West Ham. Both desperate for a start to their campaign. Arsenal had a tough start with city and Chelsea so they really need to win here to help the new manager find his feet. West Ham spent big in the summer but looked all over the place in their last two games. Expect an Arsenal win. If they don't then the Emery is in trouble already. It all depends if Ozil starts playing

Newcastle host Chelsea. Chelsea started great but have holes in defence. That hole is called David Luiz. Sari is basing his team around this guy but I think it is a mistake. Newcastle are solid so this will be a hard one for Chelsea.
The other two games are Southampton vs Leicester and Fulham vs Burnley. I expect Leicester and Burnley to get results here. We will find out on Sunday.
I will post up the results of the last man/ woman standing after Man Utd vs Spurs on Monday night.
Best of luck to the remaining Steemians.
Liverpool
@writmore. Sorry mate . The matches are all nearly over. Would be unfair to let you through.
Chelsea
@marzi you missed the deadline . Sorry. Most of matches have already played so it would be unfair to people who picked the teams.
Watford

Liverpool
Thanks @jsock for your entry.
Mancity
I wouldn't want to take any chances
Thanks for your selection @georgechuks
Haha. Sure. Also. don't forget that the key to having it all is knowing you already do :)
howdy this fine night sir blanchy! hey does Europe even have any other sports because this is all we ever hear about over here! lol
Not really @janton. Football rules the waves in most countries. Rugby is big too but I’m not into the egg chasing myself
yes sir the egg chasing thing is very interesting but neither that nor European football has really caught on here in the U.S. Does anyone play baseball over there or is it too slow for you....what is a good slang word for the Irish? lol.
The Paddy’s is probably a good slang word for us. We have cricket . It’s a more complicated baseball. The Irish would get too drunk at baseball games because they are so long supposedly. 😂😂. Why do you guys call it the World Series if no one else plays it??
hahaha! that's very good blanchy, yeah why IS it called the world series? good point. baseball games are dreadfully long and boring.
so how would Paddy's be used as an insult? just call someone a Paddy? what does that refer to anyway?
Arsenal
