EPL Week 8 Predictions

—

Tottenham vs West Ham United – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham ($1.51)

West Ham United ($6.10)

Draw ($5.00)

A London derby kicks off the programme this weekend and there is famously no love lost here, as Tottenham take on West Ham United. Spurs are an enigmatic side, represented by their 3-2 loss from a winning position against Brighton last time out and they will want to pick up a result here and cut the noise surrounding them. West Ham meanwhile managed to change the narrative surrounding them last weekend, overcoming Ipswich Town and easing some of the pressure building on them. It feels like Spurs need a win and they should get one here.

Betting tip: Tottenham to win the match ($1.51)

Tottenham to win 3-1

Fulham vs Aston Villa – Craven Cottage

Fulham ($2.44)

Aston Villa ($3.00)

Draw ($3.55)

Fulham will have spent the international break trying to work out quite how they managed to lose against Manchester City last time out and they will have the chance to respond here against Aston Villa. The Cottagers pushed City all the way, eventually succumbing to a 3-2 loss but they have reserved most of their best football for Craven Cottage this season. Aston Villa have Champions League commitments to worry about too and they may have one eye on that here, making a draw the most likely outcome on paper.

Betting tip: The match to finish as draw ($3.55)

1-1 Draw

Manchester United vs Brentford – Old Trafford

Manchester United ($1.67)

Brentford ($5.00)

Draw ($4.33)

Erik ten Hag remains a manager seriously under the pump at Manchester United and the Dutchman looks primed and ready to face to music once more, as Manchester United host Brentford. The Bees have caused United plenty of problems historically and are flying high in the league table once again this term, which will be a concern for United and their fans. But Old Trafford should be rocking for this one and United should pick up three points that they desperately need.

Betting Tip: Manchester United to win the match ($1.67)

Manchester United to win 2-1

Southampton vs Leicester City – St Mary’s Stadium

Southampton ($2.40)

Leicester City ($3.00)

Draw ($3.60)

Two promoted sides face off here, as Southampton take on Leicester City down on the south coast. The Saints have been plucky this term, without actually managing to cause any problems for opposition defences and they will be eager to put that right in this one. Leicester picked up their first win since returning to the Premier League against Bournemouth last weekend and they will want to build on that on their travels. There isn’t much to split these two and it could well end up as a draw.

Betting tip: The match to finish as draw ($3.60)

1-1 Draw

Newcastle United vs Brighton – St James’s Park

Newcastle United ($2.05)

Brighton ($3.50)

Draw ($4.00)

Two very entertaining sides look set to clash here up in the North East, as Newcastle take on Brighton, as both sides look to build on their impressive starts to the campaign. Newcastle couldn’t quite convert against Everton last time out, but they showed signs that they are ready to rock again this term. Brighton meanwhile picked up a superb 3-2 comeback win against Tottenham last time out and they should approach this with no fear. This will be tight, but it could be Toon who just about come out on top.

Betting tip: Newcastle United to win the match ($2.05)

Newcastle United to win 2-1

Ipswich Town vs Everton – Portman Road

Ipswich Town ($2.45)

Everton ($3.00)

Draw ($3.50)

Two sides being tipped to face relegation problems meet here, as Ipswich Town take on Everton. The Tractor Boys have adapted well to life in the Premier League thus far, particularly at home but this will be a highly charged encounter against the Toffees. Everton continue to defy the odds and find a way to stay in the Premier League, despite looking down and out for long periods and this could end up being a cagey draw in Suffolk.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.50)

1-1 Draw

Bournemouth vs Arsenal – Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth ($5.00)

Arsenal ($1.70)

Draw ($4.20)

Arsenal will be jumping straight back onto the horse, following a tough couple of home games against Southampton and Leicester and Bournemouth is their next stop. The Cherries have been in good form so far this year, especially at home and they will want to test themselves against one of the best here in the Gunners. However, Arsenal are consistently tough to beat and with goals running throughout their side, they should manage to get the job done on the road once again.

Betting tip: Arsenal to win the match ($1.70)

Arsenal to win 3-1

Wolves vs Manchester City – Molyneux

Wolves ($10.00)

Manchester City ($1.32)

Draw ($6.00)

Champions Manchester City suffered defeat at Wolves last season, and they will be out for revenge here at Molyneux. Morale in the Wolves camp does seem low following a very tough start to the season and the Wanderers will be desperate to stick it to City once again this season. However, the blues are always tough to beat, despite the fact they are missing lots of key men, and they will want to put in a strong showing. This could be a tight game, which ends up as a draw in the West Midlands.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($6.00)

1-1 Draw

Liverpool vs Chelsea – Anfield

Liverpool ($1.70)

Chelsea ($4.60)

Draw ($4.40)

Liverpool and Chelsea have played out some crackers over the years and this looks set to be another one at Anfield. Arne Slot has Liverpool firing on all cylinders at the moment and who knows how far they can go in pursuit of 4 titles again this term. Chelsea are starting to show glimmers of hope under Enzo Maresca, and they have the tools to trouble Liverpool, especially in attacking areas. However, Liverpool are generally rampant at home, and they should win well here.

Betting tip: Liverpool to win the match ($1.70)

Liverpool to win 3-1

Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace – City Ground

Nottingham Forest ($2.40)

Crystal Palace ($3.20)

Draw ($3.50)

Nottingham Forest have been one of the surprise packages so far in the Premier League this season and they have a chance to keep collecting points, as they take on Crystal Palace at the City Ground. Forest look very tough to beat under Nuno Espirito Santo and their organised nature is enabling them to control games. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace await their first win of the season but there have been signs Oliver Glasner is starting to get a tune out of his troops too. This will be tight, but it feels like momentum could push Forest over the winning line here.

Betting tip: Nottingham Forest to win the match ($2.40)

Nottingham Forest to win 2-1
