Answering the question, what to expect from gameweek 8? This could be vital when it comes to decision making. Deciding on a transfer or captain can sometimes take great thought and with the help of extra factors managers could make better informed decisions in FPL.

Aston Villa v Southampton

In the 40 meetings between both teams, they have both won close to an equal amount each. This could suggest the match could go either way.
There have been 15 goals scored in their last five matchups, averaging three goals scored per match.

Nottingham Forest v Fulham

£6.9m Fulham striker Mitrovic has now returned in five out of his first six matches this season. Those looking to bring the in-form forward in will be hoping he extends that.

Spurs v Leicester

In the 32 matches played, Spurs have won 15 with Leicester following closely behind with 12.
There has been between 2-6 goals scored per match in their last five head-to-heads.
Leicester’s leaky defence could mean Spurs striker Kane can continue his consistent returns in Gameweek 8.
