After two weeks of back-and-forth, Paul Coyte holds the advantage over Clive Allen in the GB News predictions table, leading 21–15 thanks to an exact scoreline call last weekend. But as Paul reminds us, it’s “a marathon, not a sprint” — and with another full set of fixtures on the horizon, there’s plenty of time for Clive to close the gap.
The pair debate struggling Manchester United, Arsenal’s title credentials, Spurs’ flying start, and whether Burnley or West Ham are already in trouble. Here’s how they see week three unfolding.
