Can't see beyond a draw in the Scouse-Manc match.
Chelsea, City and Spurs to win easily - very important we take 3 points to keep pace.

| DAVE BURNLEY loves football and beer. He spends every spare penny on both pastimes which makes him appear no less ordinary than millions of people. However, it's not quite as straightforward as that. Born David Beeston on October 13, 1953, he changed his name by deed poll in 1976 in support of his beloved club. A football fan changing surnames is weird but not unique. Yet take the following into account. This man has missed just one of Burnley's last 2,400 matches, including friendlies, around the world going back 40 years. He named his daughter Clarette in tribute to the Clarets and missed his two sisters' weddings to watch matches. The most recent one was on September 26 as Burnley lost 5-0 at Spurs. Since becoming a Burnley fan, Dave has had 75 different occupations and 100 jobs. He has seen relationships develop and disappear, slept rough ahead of games, hitchhiked to games and been beaten up, usually in Wales, for the love of his team. Most bizarrely of all, Dave Burnley is not from Burnley. He lives 75 miles away near Stoke-on-Trent - and does not even drive. Dave argues using public transport, and getting lifts from pals, enables him to enjoy a grand tour of British pubs. In Liverpool last month, he notched his 15,050th boozer. Yet this bloke is no thicko - he is bright and articulate. He currently uses the flexibility of working for a firm making exceedingly good cakes to ensure he makes all games. Dave, 56, said: "Football and beer has kept me on the straight and narrow but it has cost me physically, emotionally and financially. "I've suffered pneumonia twice from sleeping rough and the doctor told me if I get it a third time that will be it. "Football has cost me about £90,000. I owe tens of thousands on bank cards. "I've had so many jobs, from toilet cleaning to working in a bank. Football is my priority. "I've been attacked 20 times, normally by gangs when I've been alone. Cardiff has been the worst as the police turn a blind eye because I'm English. "I've travelled north, south, east and west and had a good laugh, meeting great people." Dave lives with his German mum Hertha, 79, in a council house in the Staffordshire village of Madeley. In his back garden, there is an old Turf Moor crush barrier he obtained from a workman involved in making the stadium all-seater. Dave randomly started supporting Burnley, aged 11. He said: "My mate Reggie asked me who I was going to support and, having seen a photo of the chairman in a national paper, I said Burnley. There was no other reason. I first went to Turf Moor on Boxing Day 1966 and from that day, I fell in love. "The last Saturday match I missed was Ipswich away on January 11, 1969. "The last game I missed was Newcastle away on April 10, 1974. It was rearranged for the sixth time at the last minute without a mention in the papers. I only heard about it at 6pm. I cried my eyes out. "I watch Burnley everywhere. I've travelled 180,000 miles to watch them at home and 300,000 to watch them away. "Also I've gone to 50 postponed matches, which is another 9,430 miles. "I've been to the Isle of Man, Austria and the USA. "We went to Majorca in 1979 and a pre-season match against Real Mallorca fell through, so the team ended up playing a side of hotel waiters. "I was the only fan there and, when Leighton James went off, I came on as a sub. I scored a penalty, even though I scuffed it. We won 7-2." Now Dave is enjoying the Clarets back in the top flight for the first time in 33 years. He said: "To get back into the Premier League this year has been fantastic. "But the 1972-73 season, when we got promoted back to the top flight, was my most memorable as we only lost four games. "People think I'm mad but my family know what I'm like. I've a good relationship with my daughter, Clarette, who is at Birmingham University but comes to Turf Moor about half-a-dozen times a season. "I've thought about moving to Burnley but my friends and family are in Stoke." Dave will be seen by some as sad and you question whether his sacrifices are worth it. But he is happy. Yet like any person with a big obsession, the boundaries over what is acceptable can become blurred. The Burnley nut has asked the club whether, after his death, he can be propped up in his seat, A120 on the Longside, for a final time. Naturally, the club have pointed out that they would, at the very least, be breaking some health and safety issues. There is no doubt, however, that Dave Burnley will be Burnley 'til he dies.

Rooney doubtful for the Liverpool game with a calf injury. Supposedly.

Well if that's the case Rafa has got himself another week.

Don't really blame the owners, if some guy was spending my 40m on a right back and an injured CM I'd be pretty reluctant to give him more funds too, tbh.

It's not the main slot elsewhere in the world. Plus, they could have a brawl at Anfield or something.

We needed someone to fill the void of abject and sheer craziness once Newcastle got relegated.

Couldn't decide what should be my banker result this week.
Went for a Villa win as the banker but still unsure.
