The 2018-2019 English Premier League heads into second week syndrome, and so it is time for our Premier League Predictions Week 2.
Each week, and midweek, we will bring our unique look at the EPL, starting with this week’s Premier League Predictions Week 2 and all the other things we are looking forward to.
But anyone can offer up predictions, each week we will put our Premier League predictions up against a guest tipster, not necessarily a person, but based on a statistic or ridiculous idea which has varying links to football. Like BBC’s Lawro vs Somebody, but better.Arguably.
Like this week for our Premier League Predictions Week 2 we put our selections up against the change in team value from the end of last season to the current value.
We’ll also offer up a few other bits and pieces for the second weekend of the Premier League.

Our selections are based on a mixture of listening to multiple podcasts and reading way too many websites, added with ignorance to all of that with our own thoughts.
