2021-22 Premier League week 8 - Match previews
The Premier League competition is back and ready to stir the football world with “Big Six” teams. Now we are about to see Round 8 coming. Let’s take a quick look at the Premier League preview!
1. Watford vs. Liverpool
The Reds have won to nil in all 4 last encounters with the Hornets and there will be a challenge for Watford when the Reds are storming towards their first EPL title.
Teams news
Watford’s attack is currently not high-rated in the Premier League, with 24 goals out of 27 matches. This time, Ismaila Sarr may struggle with his tired legs while Etebo, Kabasele, and Sierralta are still injured.
Meanwhile, Liverpool now lead the title race with 22 points and won 10 out of 12 last EPL matches. However, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thiago Alcantara are doubtful and Harvey Elliott will be sidelined for this Saturday.
Prediction: Watford 0 - 2 Liverpool
2. Leicester City vs. Manchester United
All eyes will be set on the King Power Stadium when the two giants encounter a title race. It will be a blockbuster!
Teams news
Gaining one point after the last three matches must make the Foxes reconsider their performance. Coach Rodgers has admitted that defensive vulnerabilities are a significant problem, proved by being breached in 5 out of 6 latest games with 9 goals given up.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils are considered demoralizing in this Premier League, defeating West Ham, suffering to Aston Villa, and sharing the spoils with Everton. In this clash, Ronaldo will lead the line while Rashford and Sancho fight the wings. Also, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire may be absent for the clash.

Prediction: Leicester City 1 - 2 Manchester United
3. Manchester City vs. Burnley
It seems the Sky Blues will have a light landing when hosting Burnley, who they had few troubles with during previous encounters. Their last 8 encounters finished with an aggregate score of 30-1 for the Cityzens.
Teams news
The Sky Blues had a draining week facing Chelsea, PSG, and Liverpool at away fields. Ilkay Gundogan and Oleksandr Zinchenko are in doubt, and Benjamin Mendy will be sidelined through injury.
Meanwhile, Burnley have had a winless start and are currently in the relegation zone. Midfielder Dale Stephens may be the only one missing the Saturday clash.
Prediction: Manchester City 4 - 0 Burnley
4. Brentford vs. Chelsea
The last time Brentford beat Chelsea was before World War Two, while Chelsea had won to nil in at least two last encounters by 4-0.
Teams news
The competitive performance has brought the Bees to 7th place, recently beating West Ham 2-1 at London Stadium. However, Saturday's visitor will be a tough opponent who has dominated their encounter history.
On the other hand, Chelsea seem in an injury crisis as Sorensen and Dasilva are in the recovery room and Reece James is in doubt. Still, Romelu Lukaku is ready to face the newcomers and N'Golo Kante is back.
Prediction: Brentford 1 - 2 Chelsea
5. Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have never defeated Arsenal in seven midweek games and we are about to see a thrilling hunt of the Gunners.
Teams news
Mikel Arteta’s troops maintain a healthy squad with a strong defence and are unbeaten in the last 4 matches with 3 wins. The Switzerland international Granit Xhaka may be the only one missing this game through injury.
Patrick Vieira’s men are not considered as tough visitors, coming with 4 drawn and 1 win so far. On the Tuesday clash, Eze and Ferguson will stay away via injury and gamblers are betting on a hunt of The Gunners.
Prediction: Arsenal 2 - 1 Crystal Palace
6. Newcastle vs. Tottenham
It will be a memorable start for Newcastle’s new owner when welcoming the giant Tottenham to St James 'Park stadium.
Teams news
The Magpies are seeking to escape the relegation zone by attacking the first victory of this season. Mohamed Bin Salman may think of improving the vulnerable defence not to taste defeat before The Lilywhites.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane is eager to open his goal-scoring account like the way he scored 7 goals against Newcastle. Davies, Sessegnon, and Bergwijn are injured, but Hotspurs are willing to get their front-line misfiring.
Prediction: Newcastle 1 - 2 Tottenham
