Game Of Thrones Season 7: 10 Things You Can Expect To Happen

8. An Unholy Alliance

In a case of art imitating life, we should see Cersei Lannister make a desperate, dangerous allegiance with Euron Greyjoy, just weeks after Theresa May and the Conservatives did the same with the DUP.

The Lannisters have been increasingly isolated over the years, and with their forces depleted and what's left of the Tyrells off to serve Daenerys, Cersei needs help to hold on to her newfound power, and needs it fast.

There are few alliances she could make that would offer the support she needs, and the biggest option on the table is a pact - be it a purely political one or, perhaps, a marriage - with Euron Greyjoy, who boasts a great fleet of ships (even after Theon and Yara stole some) and is every bit as mad as she is.

It still likely wouldn't be enough to defeat the forces Daenerys has at her disposal, but it would give both of them a better chance of victory (since Euron wants revenge on his niece and nephew).
