Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 5 Update

Hi there, PPPers! It seems like an age since I updated our humble game, due to the interminable international break. With yesterday's drab 0-0 draw between Villa and West Ham, we came to the end of Round 5 of the domestic season. Just a few changes to matters at top and bottom. Liverpool continue to dominate the Premiership and have now extended their lead at the top to five points. That's good news to the Scouse supporters in our pool. More of the big clubs are now in the top five, with only Leicester slipping in to the mix now, which is good news for all of us. At the bottom, Newcastle have swapped places again with Norwich, due to the Canaries' big win against City.

In the Championship, my beloved Leeds United are back where they belong on top of the pops, with Swansea and Charlton in hot pursuit. The European leagues continue to confound our predictions, with Sevilla, Leipzig and Inter continuing on top of their respective leagues. No points there for us.

Tammy Abraham and Sergio Aguero are now top of the scorers, with 7 goals apiece from the first 5 games - cor! The Ginger Winger Kevin de Bruyne continues to rack up the assists, with five now - double cor!

Finally, poor old Javier Gracia won the sack race during the break, with Watford dispensing of his services in favor of inexplicably bringing Quique Sanchez Flores for a second term in charge at Vicarage Road (is there a record for the number of managers sacked by one Prem club in one season?).

So, all in all, here are the latest standings:

1. Blue Devil - 38 points
2. MOT the Hoople -34 pts
3. Someone Said - 33 pts
4. Swansong - 30 pts
5. Yellows - 24 pts
