The Football continues to come thick and fast as we feature our EPL Matchday 16 Predictions in a weekend headlined by two big North West derbies.
There’s so much to get through, and as ever we’ll do it as quickly as possible.
So for our many fan that are waiting for our EPL Matchday 16 Predictions, and here they are and so little else.
A FEW OUR OF FAVOURITE THINGS FOR THE EPL MATCHDAY 16 PREDICTIONS AHEAD
FTA GAME in AUSTRALIA – WEST HAM v CHELSEA
(11:00PM / 10:00PM SBS TV)
Chelsea are building nicely in the league, having smashed Newcastle last weekend, they head across town for the clash against struggling West Ham. They are third and Eden Hazard is starting to look the goods.
West Ham were OK against Manchester City last weekend, but it is safe to say David Moyes is barely inspiring anything that looks like West Ham will get out of the bottom six this season.
MANCHESTER UNITED v MANCHESTER CITY
Manchester United could do all of the title chasing pack a favour this weekend by defeating Manchester City and reducing their gap at the top. Pity Jose Mourinho is so scared of losing he will likely park a fleet of buses to ensure a 0-0. But can that fleet hold off the might of City’s attack, or will Jose surprise us all.
LIVERPOOL v EVERTON
Another North West derby but this one might actually have goals. Everton are starting to come good and don’t look the busted arse team they were a month ago or less. Liverpool and Coutinho in great form after last weekend and the Champions League during the weekend.
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 which Sister Cities of the current EPL sides we’d rather visit.

THIS WEEK’S OPPONENT:
EPL MATCHDAY 16 PREDICTIONS USING SISTER CITIES OF EPL TEAM HOMES
Christmas is almost here, and means spending time with families, and what better excuse to use families as our EPL Predictions opponent for this weekend.
So we have found the sister cities that are attached to the home town/city/borough council of each team. We picked the best of those if they had more than one. From there we selected which sister city we would rather visit, and whichever team it was attached to gets the tip. Obviously it is a poor one for local derbies which have to be draws.
Sister City is in Brackets.
