Here are The Gurgler’s EPL Matchday 23 Predictions and this week we put our tips up against a Football themed opponent – this week it is based on the post FA Cup 3rd Round form from the last five seasons. Plus we have our mini preview of the big week ahead. Enjoy.
A FEW OUR OF FAVOURITE THINGS FOR THE EPL MATCHDAY 23 PREDICTIONS AHEAD
FTA GAME in AUSTRALIA – WEST BROM v BRIGHTON
Early Sunday Morning SBS TV)
Always good to see the FTA game getting shared around the teams, although we could have done without these two teams at the same time.
LIVERPOOL v MAN CITY
Game of the round on the Sunday as is now seemingly traditional for the big Top 6 clashes. Two of the competition’s great attacking sides head to head.
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 tips are based on our 2017 results of all teams since we are about to see off the year.

THIS WEEK’S OPPONENT:
EPL MATCHDAY 23 PREDICTIONS USING POST FA CUP 3rd ROUND FORM
Last weekend saw the FA Cup 3rd Round played out with a decent number of upsets and a lot of boring TV games. Following on from the FA Cup why not have the EPL Matchday 23 Predictions opponent based on the previous 5 years of each team’s record in the first game after the FA Cup 3rd round.
We have found the record of each team in the match straight after the FA Cup 3rd round, and have a sum of the points scored from the last 5 seasons. The best performed team may surprise.
Burnley come out on top with 5 wins from 5 games. A worry for Crystal Palace. 2 other teams are unbeaten – Chelsea and Everton. Two teams are winless in five attempts – Bournemouth and Swansea.
Points total from last 5 years in brackets. The more points the better the performance and the tip goes to them.
