Premier League predictions - Week 8

- Leaders Liverpool host fourth-place Chelsea
- Tottenham entertain West Ham in London derby
- Manchester United take on Brentford at Old Trafford

The Premier League resumes this weekend after the international break with seven games on Saturday, two on Sunday, including leaders Liverpool at home to Chelsea, and one on Monday.

We look at all 10 games and have provided a score prediction for each.

Tottenham vs West Ham (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Tottenham threw away a 2-0 advantage to lose 3-2 at Brighton before the international break, as they failed to build on impressive wins over Brentford and Manchester United.

Ange Postecoglou's side have won two of their three home league games, though, so should be good enough to see off West Ham at home in the early kick-off.

Score prediction: Tottenham 2-1 West Ham

Fulham vs Aston Villa (Saturday, 3pm)

Fulham are unbeaten at home this season and sit well-placed in eighth, just three points behind fifth-placed Aston Villa.

Unai Emery's side have drawn their last two against Ipswich and Manchester United and this could be another tight clash in which Villa have to settle for a point.

Score prediction: Fulham 1-1 Aston Villa

Ipswich vs Everton (Saturday, 3pm)

Ipswich are still without a win back in the top-flight, although they did draw four games on the trot before suffering a 4-1 reverse at West Ham before the break.

They have been difficult to beat at Portman Road, holding Fulham and Villa to draws in recent games, so it could be more of the same against Everton.

They have drawn two of their last three matches, including when earning a point in a goalless clash with Newcastle last time out.

Score prediction: Ipswich 1-1 Everton

Manchester United vs Brentford (Saturday, 3pm)

Erik ten Hag remains under pressure at Manchester United with his side down in 14th place and without a win in five games in all competitions.

This is another test against a Brentford outfit who scored very early for the fourth league game in a row to put them on their way to a 5-3 home win over Wolves before the break.

It will probably be nervy, but United should just edge it.

Score prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Brentford

Newcastle vs Brighton (Saturday, 3pm)

Brighton will not have wanted the international break after their come-from-behind heroics against Spurs and they are sure to test a Newcastle side who have failed to win any of their last three league games.

Score prediction: Newcastle 2-2 Brighton

Southampton vs Leicester (Saturday, 3pm)

Southampton were much improved against Arsenal last time out, but they have picked up just a single point so far this season and look to be in for a tough campaign fighting against the drop.

Leicester finally got their first league win when they edged out Bournemouth 1-0 and they can secure a similar hard-fought victory at St Mary's.

Score prediction: Southampton 0-1 Leicester

Bournemouth vs Arsenal (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Arsenal look every inch title challengers again this season and they should secure a comfortable victory at Bournemouth, who have lost three of their last four matches.

Score prediction: Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal

Wolves vs Manchester City (Sunday, 2pm)

Wolves have had a torrid time of things so far and the 5-3 defeat at Brentford before the break was their fourth straight loss.

Manchester City have not been at their brilliant best in recent league games, but this should be a routine away success for Pep Guardiola's side.

Score prediction: Wolves 1-3 Manchester City

Liverpool vs Chelsea (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Leaders Liverpool host a Chelsea side who are just four points behind in fourth place in what is the pick of the weekend's Premier League games.

The Reds' only blemish so far this season has been a 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest and Arne Slot's side can maintain their fantastic form with another victory, although Chelsea will likely play a big part in the clash too.

Score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea

Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace (Monday, 8pm)

Nottingham Forest sit nicely in mid-table after earning a point at Chelsea last time out and they will be confident of seeing off a Crystal Palace side who have struggled under Oliver Glasner so far this season and who are yet to win in the league.

Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-0 Crystal Palace
