According to a report by daily post on Friday October 23, 2026, Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has predicted that Bournemouth will defeat Manchester United, while Chelsea will secure a victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League’s eighth gameweek.

According to Carragher, Manchester United will continue to struggle when they face Bournemouth on Sunday, with the former England international expecting the visitors to suffer a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford. He also predicted a 2-0 victory for Chelsea against Tottenham in Saturday’s London derby.

Manchester United’s difficult season has taken another disappointing turn following their 4-1 defeat to Como in the UEFA Champions League. The result extended their winless run to seven consecutive matches across all competitions.

Manager Michael Carrick apologised to the travelling supporters after the defeat, describing his team’s performance as unacceptable.

United have managed just one victory in their opening seven Premier League matches and currently sit 13th in the standings. Carragher believes their poor form could continue when they take on Bournemouth this weekend.

The former Liverpool defender also shared his predictions for other Premier League fixtures, including Arsenal’s meeting with Everton and Liverpool’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion.

Carragher expressed confidence that Arsenal would overcome Everton, pointing to the Gunners’ impressive performances this season. However, he expects Brighton to face a difficult challenge at Anfield, predicting that Liverpool will end their winning run.

He also backed Chelsea to take all three points against Tottenham, believing the home side will have enough quality to win the encounter.

Meanwhile, Manchester City remain three points ahead of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table. Pep Guardiola’s side are scheduled to face Aston Villa in Saturday’s early fixture as they look to maintain their advantage over their title rivals.
