Laura Woods admitted she is a “freak” after predicting Arsenal’s Premier League title run-in – something Rio Ferdinand disagreed with..jpg?auto=webp&format=pjpg&width=3840&quality=60)
WHAT HAPPENED?
Before Newcastle United thrashed Tottenham 4-0 on Saturday afternoon, TNT host and Gunners fan Woods and ex-Manchester United star Ferdinand guessed how the table would look at the end of the season. The former did not foresee first-placed Arsenal, second-placed Liverpool, and third-placed Manchester City dropping a single point in their remaining seven fixtures. However, former England defender Ferdinand backed Pep Guardiola’s men to retain their title ahead of Arsenal and the Reds.
WHAT LAURA WOODS AND RIO FERDINAND SAID
On TNT Sports, Woods said: “Do you know what, I don’t think I saw City, Arsenal or Liverpool drop a point. Which means unless there is a swing Arsenal win the league.”
Ferdinand replied: “You planned that anyway because you are an Arsenal freak.”
Woods joked back: “I am. I’m just a freak in general, aren’t I?”
"You planned that." 😅@laura_woodsy and @rioferdy5 predict the Premier League title run-in 🔮

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Arsenal are seeking their first Premier League title since 2004, Liverpool are aiming to give Jurgen Klopp the perfect send-off in his last season in charge, and City are trying to win a record-breaking fourth consecutive top-flight triumph. And with just one point separating the three teams, there is so much to play for.
WHAT NEXT?
City are first up this weekend as they host relegation-threatened Luton Town on Saturday, Liverpool play lowly Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday, and Arsenal round off the action later on that day at home to Champions League-chasing Aston Villa.
