I know the PL fixtures are supposedly generated randomly, with a bit of tweaking to avoid police issues like Everton v Utd and Liverpool v Man C being on the same day, but the way ours have panned out so far seems very unfair and counter to normal statistical distribution.
Depending on whether you think there are 4, 5 or 6 top sides we should logically, and usually, play one of them once every 3 to 5 games. Our recent run has had Arsenal, City, Chelsea and Liverpool in 4 of 5 games.
2018/19 - Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Utd consecutively
2017/18 - City, Utd, Chelsea, Spurs in 6 games, and Spurs, Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool in 5 games
2016/17 - Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal in 4 games, and Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, City, Utd in 10 games
2015/16 - Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Spurs in 5 games
Obviously you also get runs against lower teams too, but it seems that these runs, especially, this season, just knock away any momentum you have as you by default have to play in a different way. You then have to start all over again creating a decent run against the teams directly around you.
I’m sure it’s not only us, but these “big team” games coming in clusters like this is not ideal.
