    Didn't look like they took a -1 for KDBs foul on ASM, might be adjusted later.

    He'll stay on 1 BAP but Laporte may gain 1!

      That Cancelo wide at the end. Does that go down as a shot off target. Because it should be big chance created for Grealish !

        Chances and big chances created are only registered if the recipient shoots.

        KDBs amazing pass to Jesus didn't count as a chance created as he was tackled and didn't shoot.

    Evening all just tuned into the Man City score, I assume Dias went off injured? Gutted as had Cancelo captain then bottled it and went Salah even thought wasn’t confident he would do much. Oh well

      Liverpool against Southampton sounds good although tiredness and rotation may be a problem. Villa probably best fixtures but Coutinho is not reliable (maybe Watkins?). I’m thinking Richarlison or Zaha, probably the former given team form, home matches and the need for points

    Foden and Cancelo saving my week so far. What a mess.
