### How to Enter
You have until the 12th January to pick a team that you think will win their match from the fixture below. It is that simple. 
If the team wins then you are through to the next round. If the team that you select loses then you are eliminated. The trick is to keep winning matches until you are the last (wo)man standing.
Now there is a catch. You cannot select a team that you selected already so there is an element of strategy involved. Do you pick the top teams to win at the start or do you save them for later on. You may not reach week 2 or 3 if you do this however so there are a number of ways to play it. 
It is free to enter. Just comment below your team and you are in. Thanks to those who have entered already.

I will publish the results after the last game is played on the 15th Jan which is ironically Arsenal versus Spurs so I will be in great form or very bad form. Depends how it goes. Anyway give it a try. Even if you do not have one clue about football just pick a team. The worst that can happen is you get knocked out and many an expert will fall at the first hurdle anyway so there is nothing to lose really.
