Christmas is less than a month away now, and the arduous task of Christmas Shopping awaits, so a suggestion for some stocking filling Christmas cash is our EPL Matchday 14 Predictions, as nothing says Xmas shopping like Midweek Premier League action.
For the first time this season it is not just the Super Rich Champions League clubs, or the many 20 year old rookies playing in the League Cup who get a taste of midweek EPL action.
Great for Australians too, as the later kick off in the UK means it is perfect for combating midweek working days blues.
As ever many of our fan are waiting for our EPL Matchday 14 Predictions, and here they are and more.
A FEW OUR OF FAVOURITE THINGS FOR THE EPL MATCHDAY 14 PREDICTIONS AHEAD
FTA GAME in AUSTRALIA – ARSENAL v HUDDERSFIELD
(5:15am/6:15am THURSDAY 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.
BRIGHTON v CRYSTAL PALACE
From memory the last time these two met was in a Championship playoff where a stray turd left in a dressing room was the post match talk around town. This is a decent midweek rivalry game and the first in the top flight for a while. Crystal Palace would no doubt prefer to be Brighton sit right now, and pre season tipsters probably though it would be reversed. But Palace look like they might just have enough to survive at the moment.
MIDWEEK MULTIS
With the Transport into Work friendly friendly kick off times, why put a few multis on and watch the goals on your ride into work. Or at home if you are lucky enough.
