Here are The Gurgler’s EPL Matchday 22 Predictions and this week we put our tips up against a New Year’s Eve themed opponent – obesity rates given we have all just survived the Xmas-New Year period of excess. Plus we have our mini preview of the big week ahead. Enjoy.
A FEW OUR OF FAVOURITE THINGS FOR THE EPL MATCHDAY 22 PREDICTIONS AHEAD
FTA GAME in AUSTRALIA – ARSENAL v CHELSEA
Thursday Morning 6am / 5am SBS TV)
A nice ease back into the post Xmas-New Year break with some midweek FTA Football. Arsenal v Chelsea is not as much fun without Mourinho but a good enough game to tune into none the less.
EVERTON v MANCHESTER UNITED
Will Wayne Rooney give it to his former club, and in the process darken the mood at the Red Devils. Given Man Utd can’t seem to beat anyone lately, a scoring draw looks a real possibility.
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 22 PREDICTIONS USING YEAR 6 OBESITY RATES
EPL Matchday 22 is after the Xmas and New Year’s Eve period of excess where a lot of people will eat and drink to excess, so what better reason to base our opponent tips on the obesity statistics of each of the EPL Team’s home towns/cities.
As ever the lower the obesity rate the better, so the town/city with the lower rate gets the tip.
