Premier League 2017/18 Prediction

We are now 8 games deep into the tournament and I would like to take a moment to predict the table come the end of the season. 1. Manchester City 2. Manchester United 3. Chelsea 4. Tottenham 5. Liverpool 6. Arsenal 7. Everton 8. Southampton 9. Watford 10. Burnley 11. West Ham 12. West Brom 13. Newcastle United 14. Stoke City 15. Brighton 16. Leicester City 17. Huddersfield 18. Swansea City 19. Bournemouth 20.

Dortmund loses against RB Leipzig

Dortmund has taken its first loss in this season of the Bundesliga. Defeated in the previous 7 games, the lost 3-2 against RB Leizpig, last year runner up that is heavily sponsored by an energy drink company with the same initials. In a spectacular game in front of their home crowd, they not only lost the first time in this season, but also their winning streak at home that lasted for 41 consecutive games. As Dortmund fans have protested against the RB Leipzig policy of receiving huge pay offs from their sponsor, this defeat is an evern bitterer pill to swallow. John Harms 16/10/2017
