Rio Ferdinand and Laura Woods have predicted who they believe will win the Premier League after a dramatic run-in - but neither could agree on the same team.

Arsenal are top of the table on goal difference but Liverpool, also on 71 points, and Manchester City, on 70, are also firmly in contention to lift the trophy this season.

With just seven games remaining, all three clubs may have to piece together faultless runs between now and mid-May, meaning the pressure is well and truly on.


And with the race continuing to twist and turn every week, it is no surprise that TNT Sports pundits Ferdinand and Woods did not pick the same winner.

Woods has opted for Arsenal while Ferdinand has tipped City to defend their crown.

During a segment filmed at the Emirates, the duo predicted each result for all three clubs over their final stretch of games, allowing them to formulate a final table.

For Woods, the title would be decided on the final day, with Arsenal finishing on the same points as Liverpool but breaking Jurgen Klopp's heart on goal difference.

Ferdinand's predictions would see City clear by three points at the end of the campaign while Arsenal would finish second and Liverpool would take third.

Discussing Arsenal's fixtures, Woods admitted she believes they will win all seven. 

Mikel Arteta's side will face Aston Villa, Wolves, Chelsea, Tottenham, Bournemouth, Manchester United and Everton as they look to cap off their title challenge in style.

City are just one point behind Arsenal and Liverpool and are the favourites for many pundits

Ferdinand has predicted they will lose to Spurs and United but win the other five.

For Liverpool, Woods has again predicted a clean sweep of seven victories while Ferdinand believes they will draw with Fulham, Everton and Villa.

City will win all seven of their games, too, Woods has predicted. Ferdinand, on the other hand, has tipped them to draw with Spurs on the final day but still win the title.

Woods' final table sees Arsenal on 92 points and with a +64 GD, a tally good enough to consign Liverpool, on 92 points but with a goal difference of +56, to second.

Ferdinand's predictions would see City finish with 89 points, three clear of Arsenal on 86 points. Liverpool would then finish in third spot on goal difference.
