Showing knowledge of events before they take place (9)
I believe the answer is:
prescient
'showing knowledge of events before they take place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for prescient that I've seen before include "prophetic?" , "like people looking to the future" , "Knowing of future events" , "Able to predict events" , "Showing knowledge of events before they take place" .)
