Game Of Thrones: 10 Things That Must Happen Before The End

5. Littlefinger's Dream Will Come Undone

Littlefinger is a slippery customer, constantly working behind the scenes to fulfil his hidden goals. We finally learned what those aims were in season six; he wants the Iron Throne and Sansa beside him. His plan is clearly to turn Sansa against Jon, planting seeds of doubt about him in her head. We’d like to think she'd shut that idea down, but she seems to be mulling it over.

This internal conflict is going to come to a boil during the next season, since the Starks need his men, but it will come at price; don't be surprised if Sansa receives a wedding proposal, for example. Despite his scheming Baelish will never be King - the show's not that depressing - and not even death has stopped Jon Snow in the past.

The only real questions are how much damage will Littlefinger's plans do to Jon’s campaign, and will he succeed in dividing the Starks before his dream collapses?
