Time for our EPL Matchweek 13 Predictions and preview of the big weekend of Football ahead, and this week we put our tips up against Car Theft stats of all things.
So much to get into, but instead of boring our few readers to death, we’ll get into what we’ve selected and our slightly absurd method of selecting opponent tips and a quick preview of a few of our favourite things for EPL Matchweek 13.
A FEW OUR OF FAVOURITE THINGS FOR THE EPL MATCHWEEK 13 AHEAD
FTA GAME in AUSTRALIA – MANCHESTER UNITED v BRIGHTON 1AM/2AM SUNDAY MORNING – Have to wait until late for this one, but with Zlatan and Pogba back, won’t it be worth the effort? Brighton aren’t usually very exciting, but good enough to stay in this division.
LIVERPOOL v CHELSEA – the big Top 6 clash of the weekend, Can Liverpool recover from dropping the 3-0 lead in Champions League during the week. Both teams need to win to stay in touch at the top, in the rare case that Manchester City will choke.
25% of MANAGERS GONE – With the money from the EPL getting bigger and bigger every year, you can’t blame owners for getting rid of the manager. 5/20 clubs have, and you could argue more will definitely come.
GURGLER’S EPL TIPPING COMPETITION
Each week we will put our tips up against an opponent, just like Lawro’s tips on the BBC Football website. But instead of having famous comedian and musicians we’ve never heard of, we put our tips up against a different type of opponent.
We determine tips based on some ridiculous premise or statistic, and we then see if arse truly does beat class.
This week’s opponent tip are based on how the teams have fared against the International break.

THIS WEEK’S OPPONENT:
EPL MATCHWEEK 13 PREDICTIONS USING UK CAR THEFT STATS
With the final Formula 1 race about to sign off the 2017 season, and the World Champion being the very English Lewis Hamilton, why not have our opponent tips for this week based on a car theme. Unfortunately more interesting stats were hard to find, so instead we’ll got with how many cars have been stolen.
The article here from The Sun, shows the top 10 of UK Car Theft Hotspots.
The fewer the better for their fans, so the tips are based on which teams/region is ranked further from 1.
The tips are biased against London, but it usually works the other way, so it’s all about balance.
Ranking of Cars stolen in bracket, highest score wins. Those ranked outside of the Top 10 get >10.
LEICESTER (>10) to beat West Ham (1)
STOKE (>10) to beat Crystal Palace (1)
BRIGHTON (>10) to beat Manchester United (7)
NEWCASTLE (>10) to beat Watford (1)
DRAW – Swansea (>10) v Bournemouth (>10)
