It looks like all the planets were aligned yesterday as the day went exactly to script.

Ronaldo scored two on his return to Scum and Lukaku bagged another brace as our featured game ended 3-0 to Chelsea. Hopefully all that bad luck for me yesterday will translate into good luck for me today as the biggest game of the weekend kicks off at Elland Road this afternoon!

It's got to be done, let's see who the traitors are!

@nathen007's Prediction

Obviously, Leeds are going to win this. They are just coming into form after a battling draw at Burnley, their never-say-die attitude shines through as they fought their way from being one-down to get a draw, which given an extra 5 minutes would have undoubtedly been a win.

Kalvin Phillips might be a little tired after playing for England in the last two weeks but he's a strong lad and will be controlling the defensive midfield, stopping Salah getting anywhere near our 'calamity Copper'.

Junior Firpo and Mateusz Klich are back and raring to go after a little bout of Covid and so we should be at full strength. Dan James will probably be on the bench.

Bamford is due a goal or two after drawing a blank so far this season and in combination with Raphinha, who has been cleared to play, will run the Liverpool defence ragged. No mistakes today. Three points in the bag!

Liverpool will also be with their Brazilian contingent tonight except for Roberto Firmino who is injured. Talismanic Virgil van Dijk is available but I wonder about his temperament and a good nutmegging from Raphinha could see that sorely tested. Yellow card for him, no doubt.

This will be a great match and the opener of last season when Leeds lost 4-3 and was the only time I was not downhearted when Leeds lost. Today will be a different matter and I have no doubt we will win.

Prediction: Leeds 3 : 1 Liverpool - First goal scorer: Raphinha

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 16.30 BST (15.30 UTC)

The Small Print
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 will roll over if there is no winner. If more than one person chooses the same first goal scorer 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 50 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 pay-outs will never exceed 50% of post pay-out. Other bonuses are paid out at my discretion.

And the Winners Were...

It easier to say who the winners weren't! That person was @jersteemit who I thought made a shrewd move in choosing Mason Mount to score first. Everyone else gets about 3.5678 tokens each I think lol Joking, of course, but I'll sort the winnings out tomorrow as they will be doubled when Leeds win this afternoon.

For now, @jersteemit and @yeckingo1 take 1xHBI share each. Please notice they have been sent from my main account.

So that's it for today! Are you going to gamble on the Leeds win, or count your meagre winnings from yesterday and piss me off at the same time? lol The choice is yours.

Enjoy the game gang.

Marching On Together
