Neil Warnock correctly predicted how the season would unfold back in October
The Cardiff City boss was interviewed for Match of the Day after seeing his side taken apart by Liverpool at Anfield, almost exactly a month after Manchester City smashed five past the Bluebirds in Wales.
And his predictions for the end of the season proved to be scarily true.

"Chelsea missed a trick not getting Brendan Rodgers and they should go back in for him this summer if Maurizio Sarri goes," he told Starsport.
