Charlie Nicholas’ Premier League score predictions – 8th November

We continue our look at what Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has predicted…

NEWCASTLE v BOURNEMOUTH

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-2

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “The way Newcastle are going at the minute, you are thinking that these are winnable games for them. I know Steve Bruce likes to play attacking football, but he cannot do so with this team. Miguel Almiron is like a little whippet who cannot slow down to finish.

“The fans love him as he is energetic, which I do like about him, but the other phases of his play need to come sharpish. Allan Saint-Maximin is skilful and unpredictable, while Jonjo Shelvey is back in the team. If Newcastle win, they are heading towards the top end of the table.

“Bournemouth can go anywhere and play well, as shown with the Manchester United game. They are a very dangerous side and will cause problems once again.”

 

BURNLEY v WEST HAM

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Both teams are unpredictable. I thought Burnley were getting back to their old ways but they took a beating at Sheffield United. The defenders have work to do. West Ham were three down and probably should have equalised against Newcastle.

“They are a talented side but Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini have not produced thus far. Robert Snodgrass has been their best player over the last couple of weeks. They need to supply Sebastien Haller with early crosses and they could get somewhere, but it will back to basics for Burnley.”

 

SOUTHAMPTON v EVERTON

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 1-0

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Southampton have come back a little bit in terms of credibility. They have not played badly in the two games against Man City for which they gained credibility, but what did they get? Nothing. It got rid of the embarrassment and anger, whereas Everton are still so vulnerable away from home.

“It is not a game marked with goals. Danny Ings and Nathan Redmond will carry a threat, but this could be Marco Silva’s last game in charge if he loses – I think David Moyes would be a target if it goes badly for Everton. These teams should score goals with the vulnerable opposing defences but it will be a narrow win.”

 

TOTTENHAM v SHEFFIELD UTD

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 1-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Tottenham could have snatched a point at Anfield – they got themselves in the lead at Everton and threw it away. Mauricio Pochettino’s decision-making is quite worrying for the Tottenham players.

“He likes to rotate the full-backs but Serge Aurier is not playing well, while Danny Rose is all over the place. He has disrupted something which was so solid for three seasons at Tottenham.

“Harry Kane should be fit but if not, where do they go up front? Sheffield United battered Burnley and they played superbly. They squeeze together, drop off together, and this style of football upsets the rhythm of the bigger teams. I expect them to unsettle Tottenham and this will be reflected in the result.”

 

MAN UTD v BRIGHTON

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-0

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Normally I think this would be a straightforward win, but it is not as easy as that for this Manchester United team. Brighton are starting to score more openly and are starting to get there. Brighton are more attacking-minded than they have ever been before, so this then becomes an open game.

“I do still think that Graham Potter will change his style accordingly. Leandro Trossard came off the bench and made a difference. He is a troubling and exciting player and will cause danger. These are the games that matter for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and you have to win these games to think about the top four again.”
