Hello all - welcome to the 2017-2018 Premier League Predictions Thread. I'm very grateful for the chance to take the reins for this season and I hope you will all decide to take part. I'm hopeful we can continue the competitive fun from previous seasons. 
So before the first matches get started, just a quick heads-up about the competition - format, posting, scoring etc.
We'll continue with the scoring system introduced last year. 1 point will be awarded for each correct result and 3 points for each correct score. So for example, if a match ends 2-0 and you predict 3-0, it will be 1 point. If you get the exact score, it's 3 points.
I'll try to post the fixtures for each game week in plenty of time. I'll always take the fixtures from the Official Premier League website and list them in the same order on here. Some weeks will be on weekends and some will be during a week, any predictions posted after the kick off time for a match obviously can't be accepted.
You can copy and paste the list I post if it's easier for you and I'll always do a separate post for my own predictions. I'll try and post up results and points for each week on the first available day after a game week, along with the fixture list for the next one.
As well as your scores, feel free to post comments, questions, feedback etc.
Not long to go now, so let's get started!
