Sunderland: 10 Things That Will Definitely Happen This Season
10. Leicester Will Win, Twitter Will Break
The build-up to the first day of the season offers immense hope. Lofty dreams of lifting a trophy swim around every fan's head with almost everyone predicting their side to finish two or three places ahead of reality. In your head, nobody can spoil the visions of watching Lee Cattermole hoisting the FA Cup aloft as a swarm of angry Newcastle fans evaporate from the Wembley seats clenching '#ColbackOut' banners. But in reality, the opening Saturday will play out like this. A tight, scrappy 0-0 draw between two teams who find themselves in a period of transition and many neutrals' predicted relegation places. Jeremain Lens will sparkle, Jermain Defoe will crackle, Jack Rodwell will fizzle out, and Robert Huth will bundle home a disgusting, bobbled goal for Leicester in the 87th minute to steal the win.
