Week 25 of the PL season predictions. Person with the most points at the end of the season wins a terrible Chelsea-themed prize.

Your prediction should be of the score, the first goal scorer and the minute of the first goal.

For example, if I am predicting 2-1 to Chelsea with the first goal scored by Christensen in the 5th minute:  Crystal Palace 1-2 Chelsea, Christensen, 5

NOTE: If you do not include the team names in your prediction and instead just put the score, e.g. "1-2" I will assume Home - Away.

If you're predicting a 0-0, then the player name and minute should be of the first shot on target, rather than first goal.  If you predict a scoring game, but the result is 0-0, then the player name and minute will, again, be of the first shot on target. 

If you are predicting an own goal as the first scorer, you don't need a player name, but you do need to specify which team gets the goal. E.g. If Chelsea are playing Man Utd and you think Chelsea will score first with Man Utd scoring an own goal, it would be something like: Chelsea 2-1, Own Goal (Chelsea), 35. So the own goal team is the team that gets the goal, not the team that puts the ball into their own net.

Deadline is 5 minutes before kick-off.
Maximum of 1 change per person.

Crystal Palace 0-1 Chelsea, Rudiger, 43

Crystal P. 1-3 Chelsea, Jorginho, 24' (p).

Palace 0-3 Chelsea

Pulisic 23'

Crystal Palace 0-2 Chelsea

Ziyech 37'

 

So for my prediction this time I will go with....

Whatever @Munkworth picks!

 

 

Nah seriously Palace 0-2 Chelsea, Pulisic 12

 

If Pulisic does not start change my scorer to the following (left in the list preferred if starting)

Lukaku, Havertz, Ziyech, Chalobah, Dave.

I am assuming at least one of those starts...

Crystal Palace 0-2 Chelsea

Ziyech 37th min.

Now @erskblue has predicted I know my score line. I’m considering being brave and going for Lukaku as our first scorer but we’ll see how I feel when the teams announced.

He copied Val though, so does that make it as...

Okay will change my first goal scorer to Havertz.

Same score 0-2 Chelsea and same time 37th min.

You don't have to change it fella, @Munkworth does it deliberately all the time...

Don’t bow to the pressure of these scumbags! You’re the reigning champion and currently second place - they’re just jealous!

Personally think you are all very brave predicting we will win when I have predicted we will win as well.

You do remember what happens most of the time when I predict we will win right?

That's too much work to go back and check. Pick one. You can change it before kickoff.

Ah wanted to save you the trouble of having to go through extra posts ;). First choice pick is Pulisic 12th minute. I will try and get on before kick off in case he does not start.

A 2 point deduction so he’s below me would be a satisfactory punishment…

I’ll stay with this prediction. Not ‘bowing to any pressure’.😀

It was either or these two, I was going for anyway.

This guy gets it. I predicted a win so he knows better than to do so. 👍

Pulisic, 24'
