Cal the Dragon makes Premier League top four prediction for 2022-23 season

Cal the Dragon has sat down with Metro Sport to share his Premier League top four prediction for the 2022-23 season.

The 21-year-old social media influencer from Nottingham, who has a whopping 1.6 million followers on TikTok, is known for his football-themed videos – which have racked up 66.5 million likes – and regular live Q&A sessions with his fans.

He frequently plays as a goalkeeper, featuring in various charity matches and used to play Sunday league football. He is also a star player for the fictional Dragons Fire United who compete in the Gardens Premier League, which he created.

The Dragon’s real name is Callum Whitworth and he recently appeared on football chat show Soccer AM, while he is also known for nightclub appearances and now has 375k Instagram followers as his fanbase continues to grow.

But what does Cal the Dragon think about Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City? Metro Sport sat down with him to find out and get his exclusive top-four prediction ahead of the new campaign.

‘Chelsea [are missing out],’ The Dragon said. ‘It depends what they do, but they need more strength at the back. Thiago Silva is class but he’s getting on a bit and can’t do it forever.

‘Chelsea have lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. They’ve signed some good players but how will they cope? I’ve not seen much of Kalidou Koulibaly but the Premier League is a big step up.

‘He’s in his 30s. Is it too late for him? He could have come a few years ago. They’re also lacking a proper striker. Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked with Chelsea but it’s not for me.

‘I don’t think he would suit them. Chelsea need to find some young talent. Someone with pace and clinical ability. Armando Broja is good
