Premier Showdown - Mar 3-4
It was a strange round last weekend as all three of our pundits ended up on four points, which means for the first time this season the points were shared equally. But at least it means the Rest of the World's horror run is over.
This weekend we are welcoming Lian Heng who hails from Singapore.
"Hi, I am a chemistry teacher here in South East Asia. I am a Man Utd fan that idolized Eric "the King" Cantona when he was playing for the club.
"I call myself a Red Devil and always taunt my students that are Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea fans. I think for this season, I will add Spurs fans to the list! Cheers."
Let's see those predictions!

For each round of matches we invite someone to represent the Rest of the World and take on Press Pass' Tommy Smyth and ESPNsoccernet journalist Dale Johnson in our predictions game.
Points are then awarded as follows:
• Three points for a correct result and scoreline
• One point for a correct result
After the weekend's scores are in and the Showdown result has been worked out, the winning pundit receives three points for their season's total.
Should the challenger win, the total is added to the Rest of the World tally. In the case of a draw, the points are shared.
Jermain Defoe's late goal for Tottenham was crucial, as it gave Dale a last-ditch correct scoreline which enabled him to snatch a draw against a resurrgent Tommy for the second time in three weeks.
Table after Round 27
