Full paper	(Football Battles of Britain)

Abstract: In the article we connect football with mathematics, or more precisely football with statistics. We chose the most famous football match in the world - the North West derby. These matches between Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC are known as Battle of England or Battle of Britain. By using their results from 1906 (only in the First division and later in Premier League), we want to predict the results of the next matches, or at least the winner. Finally we compared our predictions with the predictions of bookmakers.

Keywords: derby, forecast, model, ordinal regression
