Rick, you gave me too many points. My joker was on Pukki. Should be 4 or 5. Three for the correct score and one or two (not sure) for Pukki's goal.
You're right, Tom. Corrected now to 5 points. Thanks for that and sorry about the error. I usually double check the scores at the time but it was late last night. I'll check all the scores again today.
Rick, Not a gambling man but I wonder how backing your predictions so far would have gone with a small wager on each. Probably pay for a merry ( little) Christmas.
With your interest in statistics, a 2-1 scoreline ranks pretty high in permutations of possible outcomes, especially at home where visitors will often settle for a draw only to be outdone by City's strength late in games. Added to that is much improved game management once we go ahead, reducing risks to increase possession and maintain defensive shape. Having said all that, we'll probably lose 0-1 to Cardiff.
