It is week 9 of the EPL and a whole lot of mouthwatering fixtures this weekend as we have a Super Sunday on our hands.
Everton welcome Arsenal at Goodison Park while Liverpool make the trip to London to go up against Tottenham at the Wembley Stadium.
If you are a rival fan you've probably have stumbled across the name and if you associate with the Red Devils, he gives you a good laugh with his taunts.
This week we welcome Kenna Ofoegbu, a die hard Man Utd fan who loves to have a good time on social media and rile up rival fan bases

Kenna's mantra of "My club is bigger than yours, deal with it" is not entirely true. This is because Kenna doesn't leave rival fans to do so, he fuels the flame.
Strangely, he might come off as one with an ego but he is truly a laid-back individual.
We welcome him to this week's edition of our prediction series and we are hoping his predicting skills match his banter levels!
You already know how our prediction points system works, so without much ado here are our predictions for the week.
West Ham vs Brighton
The Hammers are level on points with their visitors who top them a better goal difference. Slaven Bilic would be happy to have this kind of winnable fixture after failing to get all three points against Burnley. The Hammers would be hoping Javier Hernandez passes a late fitness test. Still take West Ham to win.
Chukamvp: 2-1
Kennagq: 1-0
Chelsea vs Watford
Chelsea have been on abad patch after gifting Crystal Palace its first goals and three points of the season. The Blues also had a strange night against Roma in the Champions League and now there’s pressure at Stamford Bridge to get it right. They welcome Watford who have been flying high in the league and are leading them with two points. I believe Chelsea have a decent home advantage here.
Chukamvp: 2-0
Kennagq: 2-0
Man City vs Burnley
Good things come to an end and City’s goalscoring form would also end. But not in the game against Burnley. The Citizens are on red-hot form and I don’t see them letting loose their grips at the top of the table against Burnley. Convincing win.
Chukamvp: 3-0
Kennagq: 3-1
Swansea vs Leicester City
The Swans got a much needed win against Huddersfield last week and could do with another three points against manager-less Leicester City. Swansea lie in 13th position and would be able to grind out a win against the unled Foxes.
Chukamvp: 2-1
Kennagq: 1-1
Huddersfield vs Man Utd
It might just be a return to status quo for the Red Devils, by that I mean the flowing attacking football and the goal scoring United we were welcomed to this season. Forget the game against Liverpool, I don’t think Mourinho would be aiming to be conservative once again. Might not be a storm but an easy win.
Chukamvp: 0-3
Kennagq: 0-2
Newcastle vs Crystal Palace
It would be a miracle if Benitez allowed the Eagles get a point at St. James’ Park and I would be surprised if Roy Hodgson let the Toons bombard their goal. Newcastle to win with a small margin.
Chukamvp: 1-0
Kennagq: 2-0
Stoke City vs Bournemouth
Mark Hughes' head should be all over the place. The Potters are struggling this season and capitulated against Man City at the Etihad by conceding seven goals. Hughes' men face a Bournemouth side who are also struggling but I'd stick out my head and say Potters' win.
Chukamvp: 1-0
Kennagq: 1-1
Everton vs Arsenal
This should be a cracker. Both managers under intense pressure and expected to deliver all three points or else face serious backlash from fans of the clubs they manage. The pressure is higher at Goodison Park with Ronald Koeman facing a possible sack with the Toffees under-performing both in the Europa League and the EPL. Well for the Gunners, same old story. Both teams would go at it but I think an entertaining draw is written all over this one.
Chuka: 2-2
Kenna: 0-2
Tottenham vs Liverpool
Undeniably the game of the week. Tottenham welcome a Liverpool side that have struggled since they started the season brightly. Meanwhile Spurs would be hoping to extend their winning run at Wembley on the back of their last win at home and an impressive performance at the Bernabeu. Don't think the Reds would get anything out of this one and increased pressure on Klopp.
