Premier League predictions: Tottenham to end away day blues, Liverpool to stay perfect

Check out assistant sports editor Jon Turner's predictions for this week's round of matches

Brighton & Hove Albion 1 Tottenham Hotspur 2. Why? Spurs have not won a Premier League away game since January 20 and head to the Amex Stadium after a record home defeat to Bayern Munich. This run can’t go on forever, can it? Tottenham to end their away day blues, but it won’t be convincing. Getty

Burnley 1 Everton 1. Why? Two evenly matched teams who will cancel each other out. Everton to break their three-match losing run with a point at Turf Moor. Getty

Liverpool 2 Leicester City 0. Why? Liverpool have won their past 16 league games and are the early pace-setters this season. Leicester are shaping up to be genuine top four contenders. This should be an entertaining clash but Liverpool’s class will shine through. AFP

Norwich City 0 Aston Villa 1. Why? Both sides have won just once in their past five games and there is little between them in terms of league standing and quality. Games like these can go either way, and it will be Villa who earn a valuable three points. Getty

Watford 1 Sheffield United 1. Why? Watford prop up the table after five defeats in their first seven games, while United have been impressive so far and sit 12th. Watford are good enough, even in this sort of form, to collect a point. AFP

West Ham United 2 Crystal Palace 0. Why? Two London clubs in fine form as ninth-placed Palace travel to a West Ham side in fifth. Manuel Pellegrini’s team is full of class and is starting to gel. A solid home win in store. Getty

Arsenal 3 Bournemouth 2. Why? Arsenal and Bournemouth both have the ability to score at will, although defensive frailties have been apparent this season. The home side to edge this game. AFP

Manchester City 4 Wolves 0. Why? Wolves have not yet hit their stride this season, and while they are sure to climb the table over the coming weeks and months, they will struggle to resist the City juggernaut. Getty

Southampton 0 Chelsea 2. Why? Frank Lampard’s team feels like it is starting to come together and they have been better away from home than at Stamford Bridge. A routine win over a Saints team which has lost their past two. Getty

Newcastle United 1 Manchester United 1. Why? Once a fixture to mark on the calendar, this has all the hallmarks of one to forget. Neither team is firing so a low-scoring draw could be on the cards. Getty

The eighth round of the 2019-20 Premier League season takes place this weekend, starting with Brighton & Hove Albion's home clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon and concluding with Manchester United's trip to Newcastle United on Sunday evening.

Man United will be under even more pressure following their goalless draw in the Europa League, with midfielder Jesse Lingard picking up a hamstring injury.
