The first International break of the season looms, so better get in quick with our Premier League Predictions Week 4 before everyone forgets about the EPL.
FOR THIS SEASON’S (19-20) WEEK 4 PREVIEW – GO HERE
Each week (and the occasional midweek) we will bring our unique look at the EPL, starting with this week’s Premier League Predictions Week 4 and then 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, but 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. And we’re slightly less grumpy than Lawro.
Like this week,for our Premier League Predictions Week 4 we put our selections up against tips based on each EPL sides’ results against post Sir Alex Ferguson Manchester United.
We’ll also offer up a few other bits and pieces for the second weekend of the Premier League.
Premier League Predictions Week 4 Gurgler v Red Cards from past Five Seasons
Opponent Tips Background: After their poor start to the 2018-19 Premier League season, it looks like Manchester United are easier to beat than ever. It got us wondering though, how teams have fared against the Red Devils since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
So we have got every game played against Man Utd since, and worked out the average points per game for all teams from all competitions. The higher the average points, that team get the tip. Easy.
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.
