Danny's winners included a brilliant clean sweep on Manchester United v Leicester.

It would have paid out £140 on a £5 treble. Here is how it played out...

CRASH: Danny predicted that United would score from a corner, which duly delivered a 3/1 winner when Marcus Rashford converted.

BANG: Next up, his big shout that United would score in the last 15 minutes came in at 5/6 as Marouane Fellaini scored in the 82nd minute.

WALLOP: The full-time whistle delivered another 3/1 on a HT/FT of Draw/United.

Danny was at it again on Sunday when he tipped Sadio Mane to score and Liverpool to beat Arsenal at a tasty 7/2.

So what is his secret?

"I do my homework," Danny says. "It is important to really study the teams, the players, their strengths and weaknesses.

"You have to know what makes every player tick."

And the former Stoke star is promising to deliver more winners for Sun Football readers.

"I was thrilled to bring in four winners today and I will continue to do it throughout the season," he added.

Danny's fifth tip was only a whisker away after he picked Gabriel Jesus to score first against Bournemouth - only for the Brazilian to score the equaliser at the Vitality.

It would have been an astonishing clean sweep.

But never mind, you can't win them all... until Danny returns later this week!
