Premier League + FA Cup Final predictions 14/06

It’s the penultimate fixture week in the Premier League this season. There are still many questions still unanswered in the league, such as the final Europa League position and the relegation spots. It should be an entertaining weekend!

Also, it’s FA Cup final weekend. Stoke City will face the riches of Manchester City. It should be an exciting game. Two sides with contrasting styles going head to head. It should be fun.

This week, our guest predictor is Mark Chalcraft.

Mark Chalcraft

It seems I've run away with the win this weekend! But thanks to Mark for competing.

The new points system

To make things a little more interesting I have introduced a points system. It’s very simple. I'll break it down.

For every correct result (i.e. Joe Bloggs predicts West Ham to beat Wolves, and this actually happens) this will be worth 1 point.

While every perfect result (i.e. Joe Bloggs predicts West Ham to win 2-0, and this happens) this is worth 3 points.

So Correct Result = 1 point

Perfect Result = 3 points
