LONDON, England – After the exciting Week 8 opening between Spurs and West Ham, which is usually a heated London rivalry, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Premier League weekend will only grow more dramatic. As they try to continue their early-season Premier League title challenges against Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea, the Blues go to Liverpool in a game that is hard to predict at Anfield.
West Ham vs. Tottenham predictions and odds
Kickoff time: Saturday at 7:30 a.m. ET
West Ham (+450) vs. Spurs (-200) | Draw (+380) odds
Due to both teams’ questionable defensive performances thus far this season, it appears that this matchup will be open and entertaining. Spurs’ superior fluidity should make the difference. West Ham 3-1 Tottenham.
Everton vs. Ipswich Town odds and prediction
Start time: Saturday at 10 a.m. ET
Odds: Everton (+188) vs. Ipswich (+140) | Draw (+240)
Everton has lost all 14 of their away Premier League games, but they will end that run—which is the third-longest in club history—likely on a set piece. Everton 1-2 Ipswich.
Southampton vs. Leicester predictions and odds
Start time: Saturday at 10 a.m. ET
Odds: Leicester (+188) vs. Saints (+135) | Draw (+250)
There is a draw all over this. Both teams are aware of how crucial this is, and while the Saints will control the ball, they will find it difficult to break down Leicester, and the Foxes will be difficult to stop. Leicester 1-1 Southampton.
Brentford vs. Manchester United odds and prediction
Start time: Saturday at 10 a.m. ET
Odds: Brentford (+350) vs. Manchester United (-145) | Draw (+310)
Ten Hag will not enjoy the spectacle inside Old Trafford if Brentford scores early once more. It cannot be overstated: Considering the current situation, this matchup is absolutely a nightmare. Brentford versus Manchester United, 2-2.
Aston Villa vs. Fulham odds and prediction
Start time: Saturday at 10 a.m. ET
Chances: Villa (+185) vs. Fulham (+140) | Draw (+240)
Forecasting is challenging during the international break, and recency bias may be dangerous after Jimenez looked fantastic against the US on Tuesday. Let’s counter by praising a superb team of Villa attackers. Objectives for both? Yes, and possibly even a point for the home team as Villa juggles their return from the break with Bologna’s UEFA Champions League visit on Tuesday. At the moment, Unai Emery is thriving. Aston Villa 1-1 Fulham.
Brighton vs. Newcastle odds and prediction
Start time: Saturday at 10 a.m. ET
Odds: Brighton (+250) vs. Newcastle (+100) | Draw (+275)
Will the Magpies finish, but anything can happen. Brighton will undoubtedly score, and Newcastle is a different team with the support of the St. James’ Park crowd. The Magpies should score as Alexander Isak is ready to contribute, but will they be able to halt the Seagulls? Brighton 1-1 Newcastle.
Chelsea vs. Liverpool odds and prediction
Kickoff time: Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET
Odds: Chelsea (+360) vs. Liverpool (-150) | Draw (+320)
Maresca would benefit greatly from a strong Chelsea showing since it would solidify the Blues’ place in the top four and cast doubt on Liverpool’s early-season success. However, they managed AC Milan and Bologna and seem ready for the next level of competition. At Anfield, this has the potential to be something truly unique. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool.
Arsenal vs. Bournemouth odds and prediction
Kickoff: Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET
Odds: Arsenal (-155) vs. Bournemouth (+380) | Draw (+310)
Although it seems like Bournemouth will cause Arsenal problems in this game, the Gunners’ tenacity is quite astounding. You can count on them to complete it in some way. Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth. — JPW
Manchester City vs. Wolves odds and prediction
Kickoff: Sunday at 9 a.m. ET
Wolves (+800) vs. City (-300) | Draw (+450) are the odds.
Guardiola may have to accept the fact that they can outscored their opponents in every game at some point this season. He will go through a lot of pain, but that is why Erling Haaland is there. Manchester City 1-3 Wolves game.
