From old rivalries being renewed at Anfield to London derbies to bottom table clashes, match day 8 comes with action.
We’ve gone through the numbers and odds to pick out the best betting angles for some selected Premier League games.
Nottingham v Chelsea, Saturday, 12:30 BST
Nottingham Forest’s struggles in front of goal continue, with Ange Postecoglou’s side losing four of their last five Premier League games and failing to score in each defeat. They’ve also lost five of their last seven home matches at the City Ground. Another defeat would make it three straight home losses for the first time since 2023.
Chelsea have been far from convincing away from home, winning just three of their last 14 league trips, but they’ve dominated this fixture and are unbeaten in four against Forest and victorious in their last two visits.
Given Forest’s scoring woes and Chelsea’s strong recent record in this fixture, Bet365’s 9/10 odds for an away win look fair value. The Blues’ quality and momentum should see them edge past a Forest side still searching for fluency under Postecoglou.
Tip: Chelsea to win @9/10 with Bet365
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Chelsea beat Nottingham Forest regardless of the score.
Brighton v Newcastle, Saturday, 15:00 BST
Brighton’s record at the Amex against Newcastle has been impressive as they unbeaten in all eight Premier League meetings (W3 D5). The Seagulls have also been formidable at home recently, losing just one of their last 11 league games there.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have been plagued by attacking inconsistency away from home. All three of their league trips this season have ended 0-0, and they’ve failed to score in four straight away games - something they haven’t done since 2015. Yet, despite their goal drought, the Magpies still create plenty, leading the league in pressed sequences and ranking among the top for chances created.
Historically, this fixture tends to deliver action at both ends with five of the last six meetings seeing both teams score. With Brighton’s attacking style and Newcastle’s high press likely to force openings, Bet365’s 33/50 price on Both Teams to Score looks an appealing pick for Saturday’s clash.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 33/50 with Bet365
Bet explanation: This bet wins if each of Brighton and Newcastle score at least a goal.
Manchester City v Everton, Saturday, 15:00 BST
Erling Haaland continues to redefine goal-scoring standards in the Premier League, and few teams have suffered more from his ruthlessness than Everton. The Norwegian has netted nine times in just seven league games this season, and another strike here would make him the first player ever to reach double figures in the opening eight matches of a Premier League campaign on three separate occasions.
He heads into this clash in unstoppable form, scoring in each of his last five league appearances for Manchester City and bagging a hat-trick during the international break to underline his sharpness. With City creating chances at a relentless rate and Haaland’s confidence soaring, Everton’s defence could be in for a long afternoon.
Given his consistency and the volume of chances City generate, backing Haaland to score looks one of the most reliable bets of the weekend. Bet365 have him priced at 33/50 to find the net - short odds, but entirely justified for a striker who seems almost inevitable every time he plays.
Tip: Erling Haaland to score @ 33/50 with Bet365
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Erling Haaland scores against Everton.
Fulham v Arsenal, Saturday, 17:30 BST
Arsenal head to Craven Cottage looking to extend their dominance in this London derby, having lost just once in their last 14 Premier League meetings with Fulham. The Gunners have scored in all 20 of those encounters, though they’ll be wary of a recent dip in their record at this ground after failing to win their last two games there.
Fulham have enjoyed a decent start at home, winning their last two league games at Craven Cottage, but back-to-back defeats and six goals conceded in that run suggest defensive cracks are re-emerging. Arsenal, meanwhile, have been rock-solid at the back, allowing fewer than 10 shots in each of their last six league outings.
With nine different players already on the scoresheet and Declan Rice contributing in consecutive matches, Arsenal’s attacking variety makes them strong favourites. Bet365’s 57/100 odds for an Arsenal win reflect their superiority, and given Fulham’s defensive issues, it’s a price that looks justified.
Tip: Arsenal to win @ 57/100 with Bet365
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Arsenal beats Fulham regardless of the score
Tottenham v Aston Villa, Sunday, 14:00 BST
This fixture has produced nothing but decisive results for over a decade with none of the last 20 Premier League meetings between Tottenham and Aston Villa ending in a draw. Both sides will fancy their chances again, especially with Spurs struggling to turn home advantage into points and Villa arriving in strong form.
Tottenham’s home record has been alarming, with just three wins in their last 17 league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - the worst return of any ever-present side over that stretch. Still, their attack has been sharp under Thomas Frank, converting chances at an impressive 16.9%, second only to Manchester City. Villa, on the other hand, have found their rhythm after a slow start, winning back-to-back league games and boasting one of the Premier League’s most efficient set-piece attacks.
With both teams capable of scoring and neither likely to settle for a point, it’s hard to see this one finishing level. Bet365’s 1/4 on either Tottenham or Aston Villa to win (Double Chance) looks a safe and logical play given the long-standing trend between these two.
Tip: Tottenham or Aston Villa win (Double chance) @ 1/4 with Bet365
Bet explanation: This bet wins if either Tottenham or Aston Villa wins the game.
Liverpool v Man Utd, Sunday, 16:30 BST
Mohamed Salah’s remarkable record against Manchester United speaks for itself. The Egyptian has 13 goals and six assists in this fixture - more goal involvements (19) than any other player in Premier League history against the Red Devils. He thrives on these occasions, consistently producing when it matters most at Anfield.
Salah remains central to Liverpool’s attack, creating at least two chances in 12 of his last 15 league appearances and registering multiple shots in each of his last three. With his combination of creativity, consistency, and killer instinct, he’s once again the biggest threat to a United defence that’s struggled to contain him in recent years.
Given his exceptional record and form, Bet365’s 1/2 for Salah to either score or assist looks a strong pick.
Tip: Mohamed Salah to score or assist @ 1/2 with Bet365
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Mohamed Salah scores or assists against Manchester United.
