Rio Ferdinand gave his Premier League predictions to BT Sport for this weekend’s round of matches in his capacity as the station’s “football expert”. Unfortunately he is also a current player and while the move did not breach any Football Association rules it was received with a dim view by the organisation. Ferdinand did steer clear of predicting a score-line when his current club, Queens Park Rangers, travel to one of his former clubs, West Ham United on Sunday, but he did give the specific scores for the other matches – such as his former club Manchester United to beat Everton 2-1.
