Premier League Predictions Week 7 – Gurgler v Brexit

After a brief Carabao Cup midweek interruption, the Premier League is back to liven up the weekends and as ever we have our Premier League Predictions Week 7 ready.

Each game week we bring our unique look at the EPL, starting with this week’s Premier League Predictions Week 7 and then all the other things like games, fantasy, and betting that make up our mini preview.

But anyone can offer up predictions. So each week we will put our Premier League predictions up against a guest tipster, but not necessarily a person, but based on a statistic or ridiculous idea which has varying links to football.

It’s very much like BBC’s Lawro vs Somebody preview, but better. Arguably. And we’re slightly less grumpy than Lawro. Sometimes. And our tips are available for everyone to enjoy, not just those in the UK who know who the usual array of comedians and musicians are.

Like this week, for our Premier League Predictions Week 7 we put our selections up against tips based on Brexit voting.

We’ll also offer up a few other bits and pieces for the huge weekend of Premier League.

Premier League Predictions Week 7 – Gurgler v Brexit Voting

Opponent Tips Background: One of the big news stories in the UK over the past few years has been the Brexit vote and the machinations of that since the historic vote.

How do we get tips out of that you ask? Well we’ve done it before in the previous two seasons, and will try an explain it again.

We get the majority result from each team’s voting jurisdiction, and work out who wins the game on whichever team’s vote was higher. 

And if the majority was Remain between the two sides, that means they wanted to stay in the EU – away from the UK – hence the tip will go to the away side.

Alternatively if the majority was to leave, it means the they prefer to stay in the UK – hence the tip will go to home side.

If both teams end up as Leave or Remain, then the tip goes accordingly. If the vote was split, then the tips goes to whichever one had the higher % for their option.

It may be too complicated for Donald Trump to work out, especially over the laughter, but follow below for the Premier League Predictions Week 7 selections based on them.

The Gurgler’s 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. We’re going all right so far at 60% for the season.

Keep reading on for our Mini Preview of the weekend ahead too.

Premier League Predictions Week 7 Quick Mini Preview

GAME BY GAME PREVIEW IN 25 WORDS OR LESS

WEST HAM v MANCHESTER UTD

Good performance from West Ham last weekend v Chelsea and thrashed Macclesfield in midweek League Cup. Man Utd couldn’t bat either Wolves or Derby this week. Let the Moaninho restart.

WOLVES v SOUTHAMPTON

Wolves looking more and moe like they are in the Premier League for a long time and a good time. Southampton will continue to hover around the bottom half.

ARSENAL v WATFORD

Watford are exactly the side that Arsenal don’t usually like to play, and the Hornets are in decent form. Looking forward to Troy Deeney annoying the Gunners.

EVERTON v FULHAM

Just a win a piece between these sides so far, so obviously another draw makes sense here. Fulham look good in parts but not gettingthe results. We reckon a burst of winning form is just around the corner.

HUDDERSFIELD v SPURS

Three wins on the road for Spurs already this year, lucky as they don’t have a home ground yet. Huddersfield have just the one point at home, and are looking like relegation fodder already. Second season syndrome and all.

MANCHESTER CITY v BRIGHTON

After seeing City dismantle Cardiff away last weekend, one wonders how bad this could be for Brighton, who aren’t quite as effective on the road.

NEWCASTLE v LEICESTER

Newcastle have conceded the eighth fewest goals so far this season, a decent effort given the top 6 sides they’ve had to play. Leicester tend to concede goals, but Newcastle don’t tend to score them. Maddison is a star.

CHELSEA v LIVERPOOL

Top clash between two unbeaten giants of the Premier League. That usually means boring 0-0 draw that wastes everyone’s time. hopefully not with the attacking potential on offer.

CARDIFF v BURNLEY

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

BOURNEMOUTH v CRYSTAL PALACE

Bournemouth are going well in the top of half of the table. We could watch Crystal Palace’s Zaha play for hours, luckily he scores occasionally as Palace would never win otherwise.

THE AUSTRALIAN TV FTA GAME

No Optus? Don’t blame you, it’s no longer free. But if you’re a tightarse like us, here is the TV game for the week. $15 a month is not bad on Optus if you throw in the Champions and Europa League.

SATURDAY 9PM – WEST HAM UTD v MANCHESTER UTD

THE 0-0 SPECIAL

CARDIFF v BURNLEY

Season Progress – 2 correct from 6 weeks. Picked the draw again but not the nils.
