Morning intrepid punters.
First up, after 2 days this week, here are the standings. Note that they reflect a slight change in scoring, in that players get charged 1 point for any day they fail to make an entry.
Two players have zoomed to the top after correctly predicting a 2-0 win for Newcastle, though they had different prices, as prices are taken at the point the entry is made, & the price moved.

We had 31 entries yesterday, the best yet, though still short of target, but we are getting there.
Cracking match tonight, too, as Chelsea, fresh from a great performance against Man City, marred only by the Kepa the Keeper controversy, at home to Spurs, who suffered the embarrassment of being turned over by little Burnley, who are of course a Championship club in disguise, at the weekend.

Finally, some OPTA stats for you to peruse;
Chelsea have only lost one of their last 32 home games against Spurs in all competitions (W20 D11). However, that defeat did come in this exact fixture last season (1-3).
Tottenham have won three of their last four Premier League games against Chelsea (L1), as many as they had in their previous 20 against them (W3 D9 L8).
Tottenham are looking to win three consecutive league games against Chelsea for the first time since a run of five between March 1961 and September 1963.
Chelsea haven’t lost both league games against Tottenham in a single campaign since 1970-71.
Only Arsenal (16 in 8 games) have won more points in Premier League London derbies this season than Tottenham (15 in 6 games).
Chelsea have failed to score in three of their last four Premier League games. Their last three league games have produced a total of 15 goals (5 per game), with the Blues beating Huddersfield 5-0 and suffering 0-4 and 0-6 defeats against Bournemouth and Man City respectively.
Only two teams in top flight history have had a longer run than Spurs (27) from the start of a season without a draw – West Brom in 1919-20 (29) and Stoke City in 1895-96 (30).
Mauricio Pochettino has won four Premier League games against Chelsea as Tottenham boss – more than every other Spurs manager combined in the competition (Martin Jol x1, Harry Redknapp x2).
Harry Kane has ended on the losing side in three of the last seven Premier League games he’s scored in (W4) – he lost just three of the first 76 Premier League games in which he found the net (W62 D11 L3).
Christian Eriksen has been involved in 15 goals in 17 Premier League games played on Wednesday (7 goals, 8 assists), including two assists against Chelsea in January 2017.
Chelsea 0 v 4 Tottenham. 80/1.
9-1
