Game Of Thrones: 10 Things That Will Definitely Happen In Season 7

7. Cleganebowl Is Coming

The return of The Hound last season had most people absolutely convinced that "Cleganebowl" - the fan-labelled battle between brothers Gregor and Sandor Clegane - was a shoo-in. And yet it didn't happen.

Fear not, however (and get hype), for Cleganebowl is still coming. There just wasn't enough time at the end of season six to do it justice. For a start, the characters were too far apart, and The Mountain was too busy playing support to Cersei's triumphant moment in the finale. Plus, The Hound had only just been reintroduced after potentially being dead - it would have been a bit much to have him suddenly show up in King's Landing.

Yet why bring back The Hound and literally resurrect The Mountain unless the two are being kept around for a reason? As anarchic as Game Of Thrones can be, its narrative is masterfully structured: a square off between the two brothers would be the kind of poetic encounter the show delights in.

If that's still not enough to convince you, consider this: now that Cersei Lannister has installed herself as Queen, it's going to draw a whole lot of attention from all across Westeros. A lot of people are going to be interested in checking out the situation, including, perhaps, the Brotherhood. Plus, with all that extra attention, mightn't Sandor hear about his zombified brother?
