WHAT HAPPENED?
Before Newcastle United thrashed Tottenham 4-0 on Saturday afternoon, TNT host and Gunners fan Woods and ex-Manchester United star Ferdinand guessed how the table would look at the end of the season. The former did not foresee first-placed Arsenal, second-placed Liverpool, and third-placed Manchester City dropping a single point in their remaining seven fixtures. However, former England defender Ferdinand backed Pep Guardiola's men to retain their title ahead of Arsenal and the Reds.

WHAT LAURA WOODS AND RIO FERDINAND SAID
On TNT Sports, Woods said: "Do you know what, I don't think I saw City, Arsenal or Liverpool drop a point. Which means unless there is a swing Arsenal win the league."
Ferdinand replied: "You planned that anyway because you are an Arsenal freak."
Woods joked back: "I am. I'm just a freak in general, aren't I?"
