This is in stark contrast to Wolves, who are bottom of the Premier League and have won only two points, so far. This doesn&#8217;t look as though it&#8217;s going to be a high-scoring game at the Stadium of Light, with Sunderland keeping three clean sheets already this season and Wolves finding the net just five times.

Newcastle sit one place above their opponents this weekend, just winning out on goal difference despite scoring four goals less than Brighton.

This is in contrast to Arsenal, who top the league and have won 16 points from a possible 21 this season. The Gunners look in incredible form at the moment, conceding just three goals in seven games and scoring 14 times, an average of two goals a game. We&#8217;re backing them to come out on top of this encounter, leaving Fulham with three losses in a row. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Fulham 1-3 Arsenal (12\/1 with Sky Bet)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1381364\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1381449\"\n    >\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/sky-bet?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Sky Bet\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#132c6c\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-300x89.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"SkyBetLogo20052025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-300x89.webp 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-1024x302.webp 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-768x227.webp 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-1536x454.webp 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-400x118.webp 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-600x177.webp 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-203x60.webp 203w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-150x44.webp 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white-40x12.webp 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/20135042\/skybet-logo-newnew-white.webp 2032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/sky-bet?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Sky Bet\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">Sky Bet<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/sky-bet?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Sky Bet\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Bet \u00a310 Get \u00a340 In Free World Cup Bets + 100% Football Build-a-Bet Token<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/sky-bet?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Sky Bet\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Bet \u00a310 Get \u00a340 In Free World Cup Bets + 100% Football Build-a-Bet Token<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/sky-bet?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"Sky Bet\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Offer<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">9.5<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/sky-bet-review\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Enhanced Offers<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Request A Bet Feature<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Vast selection of sports markets<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p>#AD 18+ New customers only. \u00a310 minimum deposit.

Aston Villa found life difficult to start their season but seem to have found their feet over the past few weeks, going four games unbeaten and winning their last two outings. Home advantage could be key in this one though, and we&#8217;re predicting Tottenham will run out slender winners in a closely fought match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Aston Villa (15\/2 with Sky Bet)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-liverpool-vs-man-utd-sunday-19-october-4-30pm\">Liverpool vs Man Utd &#8211; Sunday 19 October, 4:30pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-liverpool-vs-man-utd-19-10-25-premier-league\/\">Liverpool vs Man Utd prediction, stats, and team news<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool saw their season falter before the international break, losing two games in a row and losing their position as league leaders. Man Utd have been the picture of inconsistency, winning three of their games but losing three to leave themselves in 10th position. The Reds will be keen to turn things around and we think they are on course to do just that and pick up a handsome win over one of their most bitter rivals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd (12\/1 with Sky Bet)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-west-ham-vs-brentford-monday-20-october-8-00pm\">West Ham vs Brentford &#8211; Monday 20 October, 8:00pm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/match-preview-west-ham-vs-brentford-20-10-25-premier-league\/\">West Ham vs Brentford prediction, stats, and team news<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>West Ham have struggled this season and this has led to an early managerial change. Five losses from seven games, and just six goals scored, have left the Hammers in 19th position and fighting to move themselves away from the relegation zone. Brentford are three points better off but have had their own struggles, with disappointing losses against Fulham and Sunderland leaving them with seven points from seven games. We can see this one being a bit of a drab affair between two sides still finding their feet in the season, with a 0-0 draw on the cards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: West Ham 0-0 Brentford (11\/1 with Sky Bet)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Premier League\u00a0returns from the international break for Gameweek 8 with fixtures taking place over Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
