Premier League Matchday 8 Preview
Premier League Matchday 8 Preview
Premier League games are coming thick and fast, and we have picked out three selections for the eighth round of matches this weekend.
The first fixture that we're looking at Luton Town Vs Tottenham Hotspur where Spurs will look to claim a much more comfortable victory than that they had over Liverpool last week.
The second game we're looking at is Brentford's trip to Old Trafford as they take on Manchester United who just lost in the Champions League to Galatasaray.
Our final game in this preview is a game we will potentially look back on as a relegation six-pointer as Everton take on Bournemouth - who are without a victory under their new manager.

Luton v Tottenham – Dejan Kulusevski to score at any time @ 11/4
Tottenham were at the centre of a controversial win over Liverpool last weekend, but that has obscured the fact that they have won five and drawn two of their first seven games of the campaign.
Spurs have embraced Ange Postecoglou’s attacking style of play, and they have reaped the rewards with wins over Liverpool and Manchester United and a draw with rivals Arsenal.
They look likely to have too much for a Luton side that have lost five of their seven games on return to the Premier League.
However, Postecoglou does have some injury issues to deal with in forward areas, with Manor Solomon, Brennan Johnson and potentially even Heung-min Son missing this matchup.
That means Dejan Kulusevski’s position in the front three looks all but guaranteed, and he is fancied to get on the scoresheet.
The Swede has already netted twice this season, and only three Tottenham players have managed more shots than the 23-year-old’s 16.
Take the forward to find the net in this clash.
Manchester United v Brentford – Brentford or draw double chance @ 23/20
Manchester United’s recent form leaves plenty to be desired, and they may be worth taking on again when they host Brentford.
The Red Devils have now lost five of their last seven games in all competitions and suffered their latest blow when beaten 3-2 by Galatasaray on Tuesday.
They were seen off by Crystal Palace before that, and with those two games coming on home soil, this visit to Old Trafford should hold no fear for Brentford.
The Bees are one of the most awkward teams to play in the league, and they have only lost two of their seven league matches.
Thomas Frank’s side were unlucky not to beat Nottingham Forest last time out, and with the multitude of problems for the hosts recently, Brentford should be able to at least avoid defeat.
Injuries and defensive issues for Manchester United mean there could hardly be a better time to play them, and the Bees can take advantage.
Everton v Bournemouth - Bournemouth draw no bet @ 19/10
Bournemouth are yet to win this season, but their new, more aggressive style of play under manager Andoni Iraola was always going to take time to implement, and it could click against Everton.
The Toffees were beaten 2-1 by Luton last time out and are hard to fancy at odds-on.
The hosts have lost five of their last seven league games and could well fall to another against a Cherries side that have been better than their points tally suggests.
The fixture list has not been kind to Bournemouth, but they are fancied in the draw no bet market to kick-start their season here.
