Spurs missed the chance to peg back Arsenal who hammered Manchester United 3-1, by failing to score at Brentford which ended 0-0.
A pretty fair result on reflection but when you've got Harry Kane clearing balls off the goal line, you know it's not going well.
The game was a little scrappy but fairly entertaining but you just had that gnawing feeling that the only result was going to be goalless! Kane almost hit the net with a superb second half overhead kick but it sailed just wide and the game petered out leaving Spurs with a lot of work to do if they want that final Champions League spot.
Todays game is a very important one that has massive bearing on both the top and bottom of the league...
@nathen007's Prediction
Liverpool and Manchester City are neck and neck as we go into the final few games of the season with City sitting 4 points better off than Liverpool but having played one more, every game is a must-win game now.
Everton will be missing Dominic Calvert-Lewin as well as Andros Townsend and a whole raft of long-term absentees which isn't going to help them survive the drop whilst other than a small issue with Robert Firminho, Liverpool have a full strength squad to choose from.
There isn't a lot I can say here because despite the incredible atmosphere at one of the world's best derbys, there ought to be no way that Everton can get anything from this game, which if Burnley manage even a point in their game with Wolves, would leave Everton in a bottom three position.
So the question is not who's going to win but by how many and it could quite easily be carnage on the evidence of Everton performances this season although they haven't lost in the last two games so maybe there is a chance for them. Nahhhhhhh
Prediction: Liverpool 4 : 0 Everton - First goal scorer: Mane
Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER, the CORRECT SCORE AND the TIME OF THE FIRST GOAL as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 16.30BST
Don't forget, you can't choose the same prediction as me!
VERY EARLY KICK OFF!!
In the first goal scorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition is fixed at 25K except the time of the first goal competition which rolls over daily starting at 1K. If more than one person chooses the same first goal scorer or correct score, the prize is shared, and everyone gets a little upvote! Don't forget, you can't choose the same prediction as me! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget new rule that only people with a rep of 50 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. My game, my decision is final.
And the Winners Were...
0-0 ? it can only be one man, the extremely patient and consistent @chrisparis! Well done mate, 25K are on their way to you and no one deserves it more lol
