Every GW, his predictions land in your inbox on Friday morning. No spin. No excuses. Just picks.

2. **CHELSEA 2-1 NEWCASTLE, NAILED ON**

β€œPredicted a routine 2-0 and got a basketball match, the Bees defence is held together with sellotape.”

Sometimes you just know, and I just knew, simple as that.

3. **ARSENAL 2-2 LIVERPOOL, ROBBED OF THE FIVER**

Had the Scousers nicking it, drew instead, still reckon Arsenal bottle the big ones.

4. **BRENTFORD 4-3 IPSWICH, BONKERS**

Predicted a routine 2-0 and got a basketball match, the Bees defence is held together with sellotape.

5. **VILLA 1-1 BOURNEMOUTH, EMERY ON THE SLIDE**

Said Villa would edge it, they couldn't, the wheels are wobbling at Villa Park and no mistake.

The Gaffer's Call

β€œPredicted a routine 2-0 and got a basketball match, the Bees defence is held together with sellotape.”
