Sports Mole takes on Rory, Nic & Dylan of the band Flat Party for a Premier League predictions challenge in gameweek seven of the 2023-24 season.
A mouth-watering match between two of the four remaining unbeaten teams in the Premier League headlines gameweek seven as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Liverpool to North London.
That is one of eight fixtures on a bumper Saturday of Premier League action, with Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United also among those to feature.
There is only one game on Sunday – Nottingham Forest against Brentford – before the gameweek comes to a close with the West London derby between Fulham and struggling Chelsea.
Each gameweek, Sports Mole is taking on a famous musician or band in a prediction competition, and this week it is the turn of Rory, Nic & Dylan of the band Flat Party.

Flat Party Q&A
How did you come to support your club and what are your favourite memories from your time as a fan?
Rory: “All of my dad’s side of the family are huge West Ham fans. One of my best memories is undoubtedly from this past summer when I watched the boys lift the UECL trophy. I even went to the trophy parade in Stratford to celebrate with all the fans – the atmosphere there is something I’ll remember forever.”
Nic: “Liverpool is the team my whole family supports so never really had much choice in the matter. My favourite memory is the 4-0 second leg comeback against Barca, was playing a show and was told mid song that Liverpool were 3-0 up. Made sure we finished that set sharpish and managed to see the final goal – magic.”
Who have been your favourite five players for your club? (Historically or currently)
Rory: Mark Noble, Carlos Tevez, Dimitri Payet, Marko Arnautovic and Declan Rice
Nic: Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia, Steven Gerrard, Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi
What’s going on with the band/for you as an artist at the moment?
Rory: “We’ve just released our new single, ‘I’m Bored, Give Me Love,’ and we’re getting ready for our first UK tour in November.”
