Here are The Gurgler’s EPL Matchday 29 Predictions and as ever, we have our weekly tipping competition against a different opponent, and this week we put our tips up against a random result generator.
Before we do, here’s our mini preview of EPL Matchday 29.
THINGS WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR THE EPL MATCHDAY 29 AHEAD
FTA GAME in AUSTRALIA – SPURS v HUDDERSFIELD
Early Sunday Morning Kick Off – SBS TV
Spurs beat Huddersfield 4-0 at Huddersfield earlier in the season in another TV game. Huddersfield have turned the corner, but Spurs are too good. Another four on the cards?
LIVERPOOL v NEWCASTLE
A game that always seems to be full O goals. Pity about the timeslot for Aussies.
BOLD PREDICTIONS FOR EPL MATCHDAY 29
0-0 SPECIAL
Crystal Palace v Manchester United
PLAYER OF THE WEEKEND
Probably Henrikh Mkhitaryan now that Arsenal have played the big teams.
SURPRISE OF THE WEEKEND
Crystal Palace to annoy Jose Mourinho
NEXT CANDIDATE FOR SACK RACE
We love a good next manager sacked gossip talk, here’s our thoughts on the next one gone.
Still Alan Pardew. One game left to save job by all accounts. Losing to Huddersfield at home last weekend doesn’t help. West Brom’s EPL status almost done and dusted. And a third manager for the season awaits.
THINGS WE AREN’T LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND
Games being called off due to the Beast from the East..
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 the weather ahead for this weekend.
OUR EPL MATCHDAY 29 PREDICTIONS
Onto our selections for the round ahead, with added scores to take on Lawro from the BBC. Our bold predictions for score are alongside our weekly tips.
Like a midfield EPL side who thought they were comfortable, but now find themselves in relegation trouble, our recent tipping form is very ordinary and worrying. We are not far off giving ourselves the dreaded vote of confidence.
DRAW – Burnley v Everton (0-0)
DRAW – Southampton v Stoke (0-0)
WEST HAM to beat Swansea (2-1)
SPURS to beat Huddersfield (4-0)
WATFORD to beat West Brom (2-0)
LEICESTER to beat Bournemouth (3-1)
LIVERPOOL to beat Newcastle (4-1)
BRIGHTON to beat Arsenal (1-0)
MANCHESTER CITY to beat Chelsea (3-0)
DRAW – Crystal Palace v Manchester United (0-0)
THIS WEEK’S OPPONENT:
EPL MATCHDAY 29 PREDICTIONS v UK WEATHER & BEAST FROM THE EAST
It’s a long season, and every week we have tried to come up with a creative opponent. We try and come up with something topical, and there’s nothing bigger in the UK at the moment than the cold weather from the Beast from the East.
Of course our favourite Beast is Adebayo Akinfenwa – winner of The Gurgler’s February 2018 Hero of the Month.
Anyway, here are the EPL Matchday 29 tips based on weather. We thought the city/town with the higher temperature will be happier, and therefore get the EPL Matchday 29 tip. And we are taking the forecast for Saturday as that is football day.
Temperature (in brackets below) is the Real Feel rather than anything official, and weather figures taken from UK Accuweather.
Everton (-2) to beat Burnley (-4)
Southampton (4) to beat Stoke (-3)
West Ham (1) to beat Swansea (-2)
Spurs (3) to beat Huddersfield (-4)
Watford (2) to beat West Brom (-3)
Bournemouth (1) to beat Leicester (-2)
Draw – Liverpool (-2) v Newcastle (-2)
Brighton (3) to beat Arsenal (-1)
Chelsea (-1) to beat Manchester City (-2)
Crystal Palace (3) to beat Manchester United (-2)
