Man United vs Wolves 1 - 1

What on earth kind of match is this? 

Looks like the EPL really pulled a surprise on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, with the favorite teams only managing draws. Kinda frustrating, honestly.

There is nothing frustrating here since it's already a very common thing for us to expect any outcome from games so long as it's football we are talking about, I was looking at the Premier league matches that was played on the new year's eve and the new year which is a day before yesterday and yesterday respectively, I saw all of this result/outcomes and I was like wow😁

Thank goodness I didn't place any bets for over 2 weeks now so I don't find this outcome frustrating since I understand that frustration can only come if and when you had placed a bet on all of the favorites in this games to win but games all ended in a draw.
However, the one I am most surprised about is Manchester City and Sunderland game, I still don't understand how Sunderland was able to hold Manchester City to a goalless draw, must have been a tough match but I am glad the outcome favored Arsenal.

Disappointing results from all games of today!!

How do you explain four draws all in one day

If this was some lower league it was going to be easy to claim these were fixed matches but for a top tier league like the EPL.. this is total BS.. Anyway big result of Sunday who looked like the more dangerous team whenever the counter attacked and City.. well these look like they were Hangovered such that they couldn't run or make any crosses.. I think this was the worst City game I have watched  

I would have said, England has done a good round, to have every fan make the best of the new year. Not a bad one those playing today but certainly, not a good one for gamblers. The draw market is less patronized and the fixtures were definitely those that were deserving of a win, Manchester City and Liverpool maybe.
Spurs and Brentford draw was possible and so was Crystal Palace and Fulham, both teams are in good form.

It's very interesting that all four matches played today ended in draws. Also, no match had more than two goals scored. Manchester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham all failed to score this week. Arsenal have thus increased their lead over Manchester City to four points. They have gained this advantage and will know how to use it. It was a bad match for Manchester City, and they lost two points.
