Premier Showdown: Predict the scores in the Premier League

A fine performance from Kablan, who was home and dry with a game to spare, earned victory for the Rest of the World and has left Tommy Smyth in danger of the wooden spoon.

Tommy, who lost his title to Dale Johnson earlier this month, is now three points adrift of the ROTW at the foot of the table with just one round of games to go. Can he get the win he needs to take a share of second place?

Looking to ensure the ROTW stay clear of Tommy on Sunday is Ugorji Achilihu who comes from Lagos in Nigeria.

Ugorji tells Showdown: "I am 37 years old with a degree in International Relations. I work as a supply chain specialist for an FMCG company in Lagos and I'm an Arsenal supporter."

OK, let's play! 

For each round of matches we invite someone to represent the Rest of the World and take on  ESPN FC TV's Tommy Smyth and ESPN FC journalist Dale Johnson in our predictions game.

Points are then awarded as follows:

- Three points for a correct result and scoreline
- One point for a correct result

After the weekend's scores are in and the Showdown result has been worked out, the winning pundit receives three points for their season's total. Should the challenger win, the total is added to the Rest of the World tally. In the case of a draw, the points are shared.

And Tommy finishes off the season on a high, but the winner for the campaign is Dale! Not one person got a correct result in the final matchday, but the FC veteran walks away with the prize. Tommy pulls level with the ROTW - and Dale equals the record low points for winning the title!

Dale: 42
Rest of the World: 36
