The Premier League is back after the international break, so the Model is dusting itself off, too. With the exception of the goalfest that Bournemouth and Southampton is set to be, there’s a familiar paucity of goals about our predictions. Just 15 in total.
Lawro thinks there’s going to be 19 goals, and Merson always picks loads.
The Model has been beaten by Ronnie d’Arch Smith, scraped a draw with Andrew Brown, beat two three year old boys but came a cropper against a five year old girl. With that inauspicious record, this week Steve Brand, Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Plymouth, and big Sheffield Wednesday fan, fancies his chances.
