Kenny – who is always the first at the animal farm to sense when it is mealtime – did not have a great start with his own World Cup predictions after his forecasts for England defeats against Iran and the USA were fortunately incorrect.

Buthe correctly predicted a win in England’s clash with Wales – so we decided to give him another chance.

Tweddle Farm staff have told us that the fluffy psychic is just getting started after “a little warm up”.

Jack Richardson, who works in entertainment at the farm, said: "Kenny has been loving the football. He likes his sleep, he likes to sleep in his hammock, so he has had to stay up a little bit longer to enjoy the game.

"He’s definitely an England supporter.”

The current Africa Cup of Nations champions progressed as runners-up behind the Netherlands in Group A – seeing off Ecuador and hosts Qatar to do so.

Kenny had a quick sniff of the ‘draw’ bowl – suggesting a close encounter – before eating from the one marked ‘lose’.

Could this mean England will in fact depart from Qatar 2022 at the end of the week?

We will find out on Sunday, December 4, after the game kicks off at 7pm.
