With the AFL season well and truly at an end, many footy fans will be turning their attention to other sports to fill the summer void.

While many may focus on cricket or the NBA over the next few months, a considerable number also keep an eye on the English Premier League.

If you are struggling to find a team to follow or are just unsure where to start, hopefully, this piece will help you gain an understanding of the EPL through a distinctly Australian lens.

Sydney Swans - Brighton & Hove Albion

Although the star power of Sydney is not quite reflected in the humble history of the Seagulls, the coastal city of Brighton is one of the most expensive places to live in the UK, similar to the suburbs of Sydney which many associate with the Swans.

The dour stoppage work of the Swans and their defensive style is also similar to the counter-attacking compact form of this Brighton side.

With Sydneysiders Aaron Mooy and Mathew Ryan both playing regularly for the Seagulls, Swans fans will likely have no problem following the Seagulls this season.

  1. Everton if not bottom of the league are close to it while the Crows usually do quite well. they also just lost the Liverpool derby by three clear goals, teh equivalent of a ten goal belting in aussie rules. When did the crows last lose to Port Adelaide by 60+ points? A silly and invalid comparison

  3. Um, literally this year in Round 16?

    Everton are not usually bottom of the league, did you only start following the PL this season? Theyโ€™re usually firmly in the top half of the league but never win anything. Like how Adelaide keep making the finals but havenโ€™t won a flag in 20 years.
