Matchweek 8 – Premier League- Announcement and predictions included
Srećko Šijaković 
Following the international break, club football returns this weekend with several intriguing matches. The matchweek will be opened by Chelsea at Nottingham, with Nottingham Forest, who are in a great crisis. City will play against Everton, and Arsenal is playing Fulham away.
We are expecting the Liverpool–Manchester United derby, a game where anything is possible. Wolves are playing Sunderland, Brighton is expecting Newcastle, who will play in the Champions League, in the middle of the week. Crystal Palace is in the top positions and is expecting Bournemouth. Tottenham plays Aston Villa; both are playing in Europe. West Ham will play Brentford in their home stadium.
Nottingham Forest – Chelsea
Chelsea will be playing Ajax on Wednesday, but will not spare themselves in this match. Many players have rested and are going to play against Nottingham Forest. Chelsea is entering the crucial part of the season. They are expecting good results in Europe and are expected to start a winning streak in the Premier League. The club has a good roster and is expected to be competitive on both sides. A stronger bench can decide this game. Postacoglou does not play well against Chelsea. That says it all. He had time to prepare tactics for this match, which is good for Forrest.
Our Prediction: Chelsea will beat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Brighton – Newcastle
A match of two very good teams. Brighton has lost so many players, so they are not scoring as they used to. They are still playing very good football. The team is a favorite in this match. Newcastle will play Benfica on Tuesday and will play a better match there than in this game.
Our prediction: I predict the win for Brighton. It is possible Newcastle won’t score a goal or might score only one. I expect better football and play from the home side.
Burnley – Leeds United
Burnley is in danger in this game. Leeds has had a good opening. Here they have much more quality than Burnley. It is time for their three points and a deserved win.
Our prediction: Leeds will be better than Burnley, who will hardly have a chance to make a draw.
Crystal Palace – Bournemouth
Two teams that have reached the top by beating expectations. This game will be very interesting. Crystal Palace has started their European season very well and is are favorite against Bournemouth in their stadium. The Community Shield winner has beaten Liverpool twice in the season so far. Bournemouth has turned its best after two defeats in August.
Our prediction: Crystal Palace will beat Bournemouth in their stadium. Palace is going to win.
Manchester City – Everton
This is going to be a very easy victory for Manchester City, who have a very strong record against Everton.
Our prediction: Manchester City wins.
Sunderland – Wolverhampton
This will be a great victory and a very important three points for Sunderland, who are getting into a very important match streak.
Our prediction: They are better and will beat Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Fulham – Arsenal
The London derby isn’t going to be very interesting in terms of results because Arsenal will pass this match easily. The playstyle of Fulham suits them; they are in great shape and are going to catch a victory here.
Our prediction: Arsenal beats Fulham.
Tottenham – Aston Villa
Villa has started playing very great football and is coming to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. If Villa start rightly, firm and confident, they can outplay Tottenham and take them to defeat. Tottenham plays Monaco in the Champions League, while Aston Villa is challenging the Eagles.
Our prediction: Aston Villa will beat Tottenham.
Liverpool – Manchester United
Liverpool is bleeding at the moment; hard wins have cost the team of Arne Slot. Liverpool has spent very much, sold so many, and not visibly improved. Their team is worse than last year’s. They now entirely depend on Isak, Ekitike, and Wirtz. They should lean on Cody Gakpo, who is very dangerous. Manchester United has a great chance here.
Our prediction: Manchester United will beat Liverpool at Anfield.
West Ham – Brentford
It is time for West Ham to record a victory. They are at the bottom since the beginning of the season, but have improved under Santo. I expect West Ham will outplay the so defensively-oriented Brentford.
Our prediction: West Ham United will reach a very important win over Brantford.
