Published:
The Premier League is back and so is The Professor with yet another challenger ready and willing to take on our bearded calculator.
This week it’s the turn of Southampton fan Nick Whitcher (@gangleman) ahead of his team’s Super Sunday clash against Manchester United.
Will his predictions bring the Saints any luck or will the Red Devils leave St Mary’s with all three points?
Saints fans get behind your man because he’ll need more than just good fortune if he’s hoping to beat a guy who’s PIN number is the date of Hristo Stoichkov’s CSKA Sofia debut.
Here’s a quick recap on things as they stand…
So, let’s get down to business.
Nick’s been given a £25 FREE BET to use as he wishes and you’d like to think he’ll put his money where his mouth is with regards to his tips below.
The format is simple.
For each correct pick, the entrant will be awarded the odds paid out on that selection.
For example, a correct 20/1 selection will reward 20 points. There will be no penalty for an incorrect selection.
