As anyone who followed Manchester City and Liverpool's progress on Sunday will tell you, predicting the outcome of anything regarding the Premier League is a risky business indeed.
Spare a thought then for the 20 BBC pundits who were asked to predict the top-flight's top four, and in the right order, before a ball was kicked back in August.
If things had gone slightly differently for the top two in the final 15 minutes of the campaign, no-one would have picked the winners as none had backed the Reds to take the title.
As it turned out, 13 of them correctly chose City to be champions, but only two got the top three in the right order - Danny Murphy and Mark Lawrenson, who to be fair is a professional predictor.
