DC Predicts: Premiership Predictions Matchday 12

Welcome to my matchday twelve Premier League predictions article. I am predicting the Premier League fixtures every week and tracking my progress as I go along using a points system that I have devised, which is as follows:

Getting the outcome of the match wrong: 0 points

Getting the outcome of a match correct: 1 point

Getting the exact score of a match correct: 3 points

BONUS POINTS

Getting five outcomes in a set of fixtures correct: 2 points

Getting five exact scores in a set of fixtures correct: 4 points

I am comparing my progress to BBC Sport’s Mark Lawrenson and seeing how our prediction success compares throughout the season.

Last week I got FOUR correct outcomes, but unfortunately no perfect scores. This means that I scored four points overall.

Mark Lawrenson also got four correct outcomes last week, which included no perfect scores. This gave him a total of four points just like me.

After eleven weeks of the contest, Mark Lawrenson now leads me by 67 points to 57. The gap this week has remained 10 points as we both scored the same number of points in Week 11.

Who will be ahead after Matchday eleven? Here are both our sets of predictions.
