Roy Keane left red-faced over Premier League predictions as only one selection comes in

Roy Keane has been left red-faced over his Premier League predictions following the conclusion of the campaign.

The Cork native predicted who would win the league, be a surprise contender and selected the bottom three to get relegated.

Keane made his predictions on Sky Sports alongside Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher last August.

The 51-year-old chose Manchester City to win the Premier League, which was his only correct prediction.

Onto his next prediction - Keane selected Tottenham Hotspur to be the surprise contender in the title race as he felt Antonio Conte would build on his 4th place finish from the previous season.

But Conte was sacked as manager in March, with Spurs going on to finish eighth in the end. Ange Postecoglou was named the club's new manager on Tuesday.

Keane also got all three of his relegation picks wrong as he selected Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Bournemouth to go down.

All three of them of course stayed up, with Leicester, Leeds and Southampton going down to the Championship.

Carragher and Neville were also incorrect in their relegation and surprise contender choices.
