Reuters Soccer Blog

Such is the dominance of our predictions league leader that many on the Reuters soccer blog terraces are chanting –  ”Are you Messi in disguise?”

The Barcelona forward produced a mesmeric four-goal display against Arsenal just days after predictions league leader Paul Radford racked up four perfect guesses on last weekend’s Premier League fixtures.

Interestingly, he was among a flurry of panel members to correctly predict Manchester United 1-2 Chelsea.

Paul is streaks ahead as we approach the end of the season but can you outwit him and the rest of the panel? Remember it’s five points for a correct score and one for a correct result. Put your guesses in the comments section and then come back next week  and tell us how you did.

United visit local rivals Blackburn but how will they react to the Chelsea loss and being dumped out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich? Wayne Rooney looks an injury doubt again.

Below are the panel’s updated scores and Premier League fixtures to predict for the next five days.
