Premier League 2018/19 Gameweek 8: Match Previews and predictions

#6 Leicester City vs. Everton

Jamie Vardy will once again be the key for the Foxes

Both the teams coming from the back of comfortable victories last weekend. Demarai Gray is still out for Leicester with an ankle injury while for Everton, Bernard set for a Premier League debut after impressing in the Carabao Cup.

Marco Silva's men started the season brightly but then defeats against West Ham and Arsenal pegged them back a bit, and now they are 11th in the league. Claude Puel's team, however, have made a pretty impressive comeback and moved to 7th in the table after their opening week defeat against Manchester United.

With both attacking sides on display, the game promises goals galore.

Prediction: Leicester City 2 - 2 Everton

#5 Tottenham vs. Cardiff City

Pochettino is looking for a win after a humbling defeat against Barcelona

Despite winning last weekend against Huddersfield, the humiliating defeat in the Champions League against Barcelona at Wembley has raised the eyebrows of many. After two consecutive losses, it's looking tough for Pochettino's men to qualify to the knockout stages from the group which might shift their focus solely on the Premier League where they have a battle on their hands against their arch-rivals Arsenal to finish in the top four.

Cardiff City are struggling to adjust to the life in the Premier League with no wins yet and languishing in the relegation zone with just two points from their seven games. Even before the league began, they were bookmakers favorite to go down once again and early signs have indicated just that. Spurs are a tough side to beat at home which could further harm their chances of survival.

Prediction: Tottenham 3 - 0 Cardiff City
