The festive season might be one of the coldest times of the year in England temperature-wise, but it’s also one of the hottest in football terms.
It’s a time when matches come thick and fast, and each team is tested to their fullest. There is very little rest time between matches for many, especially those who still have commitments in other competitions aside from their duties in the Premier League.
Matchweek 14 Is Upon Us
Speaking of the league, action is non-stop at the moment. Having just had Matchweek 13, the 14th gameweek is literally about to start with a full schedule taking place over the course of midweek.
There is certainly no time to rest, as there are games to be played across Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. There doesn’t seem to be an advantage for any, as those who play on Tuesday will have played on Saturday, while some of those who will play on Thursday will have to go again just a couple of days later.
The upcoming Premier League slate of games has been scheduled for the following:
- Ipswich Town v Crystal Palace – Tuesday, 7.30pm
- Leicester City v West Ham United – Tuesday, 8.15pm
- Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers – Wednesday, 7.30pm
- Southampton v Chelsea – Wednesday, 7.30pm
- Manchester City v Nottingham Forest – Wednesday, 7.30pm
- Newcastle United v Liverpool – Wednesday, 7.30pm
- Arsenal v Manchester United – Wednesday, 8.15pm
- Aston Villa v Brentford – Wednesday, 8.15pm
- Fulham v Brighton & Hove Albion – Thursday, 7.30pm
- AFC Bournemouth v Tottenham Hotspur – Thursday, 8.15pm
What Can We Expect To See From This Set of EPL Fixtures?
With the games set to come thick and fast and very little rest time to have been experienced by each team, it can create an element of unpredictability for those who like to wager on the games that take place.
The Premier League is one of the world’s best to place a bet on for punters, as it features the top teams and players. As we’ve seen in the past, any team can beat each other on any given day, while there is no guarantee that a certain result may be achieved. You only have to take a look at what’s happening at Manchester City at the moment to see how surprising it can be.
For most, it can be great to take a look at a football prediction blog to try and find insights about what might happen. They can often feature expert insights that provide detailed predictions about what might happen, especially when matches have only been played a handful of days ago.
Taking the example of Manchester City, who haven’t won a game in the league for four games, punters might want to think about how they should approach their match against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
Forest had started the campaign well, but hit their own slump recently. They returned to winning ways at the weekend after beating Ipswich Town 1-0, and are just a point behind City in the table. A prediction blog suggests that City will end the rot that they have been experiencing – as will Erling Haaland – with detailed stats and data being used to highlight their point.
With the information that is available, it can give the bettor a chance to make an informed decision and gain a level of insight that may help support their own gut instinct, or help them to go away from it and use their brain instead of wagering emotionally.
Expect Fast & Furious Action Across The ELP in Matchweek 14
Although there is likely to be changes to squads and a lot of rotation experienced this week, the games set to be played over Matchweek 14 are still going to be fast and furious.
Teams recognize that it can be one of the best times to start to gain as many points as possible. They know that they have the opportunity to catch others because of the potential issues that may arise – suspensions, injuries, poor form and fitness concerns.
Those competing for the title or Europe can try and pull away; those at the bottom fighting relegation can try and build a comfortable bridge between them and the drop zone.
However, in order to do that, they need to go all guns blazing and make sure they are on it from the first whistle to the final one.
