Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 8 Update

A very good Tuesday to all of you in LOB land. As we head into the second interminable international break of the season, it's time to take stock of our humble PPP game again.

After another win and a bad loss for their main rivals Man City, Liverpool are sitting pretty atop the Premier League table, now eight points ahead. That seems like a cushion for those of us who backed the Reds for the title this season. Arsenal and Chelsea have popped back into the European frame, displacing upstarts such as Palace and West Ham. So there are more points around the pool. That said, Newcastle and Villa have jumped out of the relegation zone, replaced by Norwich and Everton, so some of us have lost out there.

My beloved Leeds United have dropped to fifth after a bad loss away to Evil Millwall at the weekend, so WBA and Forest are now in the automatic slots. In Europe, we've still got some chaos with Borussia Munchengladbach now on top of the Bundesliga. However, Juve have now pipped Inter at the top of the Serie A, so there are some points there.

Sergio Aguero didn't score at the weekend, so he's allowed Chelsea's Tammy Abraham catch up with him - they're level on 8 goals. Kevin De Bruyne didn't lay on any goals either but he's still streets ahead of any other assisters in that category.

So, here are the current standings as we head into Euro 2020 territory:

1. MOT the Hoople - 33 points
2. West Ham Rising - 32 pts
3. Blue Devil - 29 pts
4. Swansong - 25 pts
5. Someone Said - 23 pts
6. Red Devil 1FCK - 16 pts
-  United We Stand - 16 pts
8. The Bee's Knees - 15 pts
-  Pink Kits - 15 pts
-  The Saint - 15 pts
-  Yellows - 15 pts
12. Man Utd Rules - 14 pts
