David Sadler, Tony Green and Ian Callaghan have been working harder than ever with so many games postponed

Premier League and Championship players have been out of action for three long months, but one three-man team has never gone away. In fact, these three former footballers – Ian Callaghan, David Sadler and Tony Green – have never been busier.
Football was halted in March, but the pools panel have continued to meet every week to predict the results of all of the postponed fixtures.
According to the panel’s predictions,
Liverpool would have won eight of their remaining nine fixtures, only dropping points in a draw with their closest rivals,
Manchester City. The panel thought Liverpool would have won the league with 107 points, beating the record tally of 100 points City set two years ago. At the other end of the table, they forecast that Norwich, Aston Villa and Bournemouth would be relegated, with Watford surviving in 17th place. They thought Leeds and West Brom would earn automatic promotion to the
Premier League, with Fulham, Millwall, Nottingham Forest and Brentford entering the play-offs.
