Well, that went according to script last night and has me smashing open the piggybank lol...

I'm actually happy for Liverpool as I do like them. We've had some good-hearted rivalry over the years and our joint hatred of Man. U has cemented that mutual respect. With Salah scoring the first goal, there were, of course, many winners but how many got the correct score I wonder? Full details at the end.

Talking of Man. U, will their Europa dreams be ending tonight?...

@nathen007's Prediction

The big news is that there will be no Rashford, no De Gea and no Cavani for this first leg tie. To balance this off slightly, Grandad Ibrahimovic is out injured also but will that stop Milan from pummelling Man. U into a huge home loss?
I think it will as they also have a number of other key players missing and their league form has seen them lose their last 2 games giving Inter a decent lead at the top of Serie A.
I absolutely cannot tip Man. U to win so...

Prediction: Man.U 0 : 0 AC Milan - No goalscorer!

EARLY KICK-OFF TONIGHT!!

Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER and the CORRECT SCORE as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 17.55 GMT (09.55 PST @metzli )

The Small Print

In the first goalscorer 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 will roll-over if there is no winner. If more than one person chooses the same first goalscorer or correct score, the prize is shared and everyone gets a little upvote! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget the new rule that only people with a rep of 45 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. The bonus will be added to any winnings ONLY if Leeds United win and/or Man U lose and all payouts will never exceed 50% of post payout. Other bonuses paid out at my discretion.

And the winners were...

Welcome back @corporateay to the winner's enclosure along with @friendlymoose got the 2-0 scoreline correct so they get 2500 + 500 each for that, with @corporateay getting an extra 800 for his first goalscorer prize.
The first goalscorer was of course Salah...oh Lord....and @corporateay, @p15, @hykss.sports, @lebey1, @evegrace, @jfang003, @amr008 share 5500 tokens which is err 800 each + 500 Appearance fee.
