Key Premier League Betting Trends 

Let’s kick things off by going over the key Premier League betting trends after Matchweek 8. Below, we look at the unbeaten teams, winless sides, in-form teams, and more. 

• Man City suffered back-to-back league defeats for the first time since Boxing Day 2018

• Burnley, Luton and Brentford have each managed to win just once in the Premier League 
• Newcastle and Aston Villa have both taken 10 points from their last four games 

Remarkably, Man City’s defeat to Arsenal means that Pep Guardiola’s men are on a two-game losing streak in the Premier League for the first time since 2018. On the flip side, the Gunners extend their unbeaten start to the season on Sunday. 

Tottenham also remains unbeaten in 2023-24, meaning Ange Postecoglou’s team sits atop the EPL table after Matchweek 8. At the opposite end of the standings, Sheffield United and Bournemouth are still waiting for their first victories of the campaign.
