I'll be honest with you all. I looked at this week's games, crossed off the seemingly one-sided games and found very few games left. In reality, of course, there will be some, maybe many, surprises - I often leave off games that would have stumped most of us. Anyhow, I've left it all to you to choose which three games to pick; every game from the Premier League, Championship and League One is on the coupon this week - it's a one-off offer! I suspect your predictions will take longer than usual as you ponder whether Arsenal will bang in 5 or 6 at Everton and relish the thought of Palace letting in 3, 4 or, even, 5 at Manchester United. And, of course, will Charlton score a hatful at a little club in Devon that was playing non-League football in 2008? There's no reason why everyone shouldn't get at least three points this week; I'm expecting some high-scoring Prediction Cup ties. Of course, if you like to predict a game that is a bit out of the ordinary, there's the attractive option of Wydad Casablanca v Al-Hilal in the Club World Cup. I get this nagging feeling I will pick the three surprises and score zilch this week and then I will only have myself to blame for giving too many choices. Over to you.
