Premier League champions Arsenal endured one of the most embarrassing nights in their history when they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Fleetwood Town on Tuesday, but can they bounce back at Anfield on Sunday?

"Arsenal put a pretty strong team out but were humiliated by Fleetwood, and at Highbury too," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton.
（暂无翻译）
"Liverpool seem to be getting it together so this will be a big test for Mikel Arteta's side after the week they have had."
（暂无翻译）
Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests.
（暂无翻译）
For week eight, he takes on actor John Hannah, star of new action thriller Bad Day At The Office, who is an Arsenal fan.

Bad Day At The Office will be in UK and Irish cinemas from 30 October.

Mostly filmed from a first-person perspective using GoPro cameras, Bad Day At The Office follows a man who wakes up in a wrecked hotel room with no memory of the night before Hannah, also known for his roles in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sliding Doors and The Mummy, has been an Arsenal fan since he moved to London from Scotland more than 40 years ago.
（暂无翻译）
As a boy growing up in East Kilbride he had hopes of becoming a footballer long before realising his acting aspirations.
（暂无翻译）
Many of his childhood friends, including Rangers legend Ally McCoist, would go on to forge professional careers.
（暂无翻译）
"I'd like to compare myself to Bukayo Saka," Hannah explained when describing what kind of player he was.
（暂无翻译）
"I played on the right wing and I was quite small and fast and I scored a lot of of goals. "My dream was to be a footballer, and it was all I ever thought about.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
I played or trained all the time - but, like many dreams, it didn't come true. "As I got a bit bigger I kind of segued back into midfield but when I discovered women and beer then I kind of stopped playing.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
"Once I went to drama school I got very focused on that and then with moving to London and working away, around probably 20 years passed without me kicking a ball.
（暂无翻译）
"But then in 2013 I did a film called Shooting for Socrates, where I played Northern Ireland manager Billy Bingham at the 1986 World Cup.
（暂无翻译）
"We were down in Spain doing some filming there and had a bit of a kickaround and I remember thinking 'yeah, I've still got it you know!' "Not anymore though - since then I have snapped my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament] which has put paid to football and a lot of sport.
（暂无翻译）
It is really just cycling and running for me now."

（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
Everyone will be watching this game because of Michael Carrick's situation at Manchester United, and wondering how much longer he will be in charge.
（暂无翻译）
Carrick kept his job after the heavy defeats against Como and Bournemouth last week and my view is that, by keeping him on for now, they are possibly just prolonging the misery for him, really.
（暂无翻译）
Going by how insipid United were against Bournemouth, it is hard to see them going to Chelsea and getting anything.
（暂无翻译）
Chelsea were not much better in their defeat by Tottenham last weekend and since then they have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Liverpool too.
（暂无翻译）
Xabi Alonso is still without the injured Joao Pedro so I expect Danny Welbeck will lead their attack like he did against Liverpool, and Cole Palmer will be back after his suspension.
（暂无翻译）
Chelsea have had a bad week but I can't see things changing for United, even if Bruno Fernandes is back in their team.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: With Carrick under pressure, it just feels like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer all over again - he won a few games in a row then they gave him the job and now he doesn't win any. 3-1 Bournemouth are flying at the moment, with successive wins over Aston Villa, Manchester United and AC Milan.
（暂无翻译）
Leeds are extremely well structured, however, even if they are not free-scoring this season.
（暂无翻译）
I am sure Daniel Farke would like his team to score more goals, but they don't give away a lot either.
（暂无翻译）
Bournemouth are on a great run but I wonder how much the past week has taken out of them, and that makes me think Leeds could nick a point.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: This will be a good game, both teams are performing quite well at the moment. 2-2 Nottingham Forest should have beaten Ipswich last time out but that draw was another example of a game where they haven't taken their chances.
（暂无翻译）
I do think things will turn for Oliver Glasner's side eventually but they are in the bottom three and he is desperate for a win.
（暂无翻译）
I thought Brentford would beat Hull last week but they ended up sharing the points.
（暂无翻译）
The Bees do draw a lot of games and that is probably the most sensible prediction here.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: Brentford at home will maybe give them an edge. 2-1 This is big for both teams.
（暂无翻译）
It's the battle of the bottom two... and I think Sunderland will win it.
（暂无翻译）
Coventry do not lack any effort and they have got plenty of pace on the counter-attack, but their problem is that they just don't have the quality of most other Premier League teams. Sunderland got a good win over Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night and I am surprised they have been struggling so badly in the league.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
The Black Cats are a well-coached team and while I think European football is affecting them in many ways, Brian Brobbey's return from injury is a big positive, and he should help them nick this.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: I'm surprised by the run Sunderland are on, am still going to put them down for a win here. 0-2 Both of these promoted teams have got 10 points so far, which shows what decent starts they have made. I've not picked either of them to get a win yet in my predictions (see table at bottom of page) but that is going to change this week despite the obvious result to go for being a draw.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
I could easily make a case for Hull because we know they will give this a real go, but I am actually going to back Ipswich to nick an away win.
（暂无翻译）
The Tractor Boys have definitely got a goal or two in them and have already won once on the road, at Crystal Palace.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: Hull are doing really well. 2-0 Manchester City knocked Brighton out of the Carabao Cup on penalties on Wednesday but I don't think we learned too much because both sides made so many changes.
（暂无翻译）
I backed both teams to win last week - and was wrong both times - but I felt City played well against Aston Villa and were a bit unlucky to lose, and the same applied to Brighton in their defeat against Liverpool - they definitely had enough chances to get something from the game.
（暂无翻译）
I am covering this game for Radio 5 Live.
（暂无翻译）
There should be some goals in it, and I can see Erling Haaland getting a couple of them.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: Brighton have really impressed me but I am still going with City at home. 3-1 Crystal Palace are through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after beating Fulham on Wednesday, and it felt like Eagles boss Pierre Sage needed that result because of his side's poor league form. Tottenham are on the up at the moment though, and they performed really well in their win at Chelsea even if they did need a bit of luck along the way with Mike Penders punching their first goal into his own net.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
However they manage it, the important thing for Spurs is they have found a way of getting results now and I can see them getting another one here.
（暂无翻译）
I do worry for Sage because it seems a lot of Palace fans are uncertain about him and feel his team are too easy to get at.
（暂无翻译）
Because of that, I am going for Spurs to score a couple more goals here.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: I used to watch Palace a bit when I first moved to London. Spurs have improved but I don't see them winning this one. 0-1 I am not surprised that Fulham's Premier League form has picked up because after watching them earlier in the season I thought they should have more points than they had.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
The Cottagers are a well-structured team but I still don't see them stopping an in-form Aston Villa, or their striker Nicolas Jackson, at this moment in time.
（暂无翻译）
Villa are on a great run in the league and I am expecting more goal action from Jackson here.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: After being a bit up and down, Villa are back at where they were at last season but I have been to see Fulham a few times and my mate is a season-ticket holder there.
（暂无翻译）
They have started to kick on too. 0-0 Liverpool proved me wrong against Brighton last week, because they didn't just win, they played well too.
（暂无翻译）
After conceding so many goals last season, you can see they have really tightened things up.
（暂无翻译）
Arsenal don't give much away either, so this is going to be very close.
（暂无翻译）
Alexander Isak is scoring goals again for the Reds, and they will be full of confidence coming into this game. You could make a case for it ending up a repeat of the result we saw at the end of last season, when Dominik Szoboszlai's brilliant free-kick meant Liverpool edged a 1-0 win.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
I do think we will see the same scoreline, just with a different winner.
（暂无翻译）
John's favourite Arsenal players: Ian Wright, Tony Adams and then Thierry Henry stand out of course but, after that, I was always a big fan of Cesc Fabregas.
（暂无翻译）
Santi Cazorla was fantastic too - he was Arsenal through and through - so skilful and so committed.
（暂无翻译）
John's prediction: Liverpool's early form was a bit questionable but they have got better - I am still going to say two-nil to the Arsenal though, because Martin Odegaard will make the difference. 0-2 John's title prediction: I don't actually think we have clicked yet this season and if we find our gear then it is going to be hard to stop us. I don't see anyone other than City putting together a strong challenge.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
Everton's age-old problem is how Thierno Barry is going to perform because they rely so heavily on how well he is playing up front.
（暂无翻译）
To be fair to David Moyes's side, they carried more of a threat than I expected in their defeat by Arsenal and I can see them getting chances here, because Newcastle are so open. The Magpies will absolutely go for it again here and I have a sneaky feeling they will leave the door ajar for Everton to pinch the points.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
John's prediction: Newcastle have been a bit hit and miss.
（暂无翻译）
Everton are always pretty solid though. 1-1 Chris got five correct results, including two exact scores, from the 10 games in week eight, giving him a total of 110 points.
（暂无翻译）
That was enough to beat the collective efforts of the BBC readers, who managed four correct results, with two exact scores, for a tally of 100 points.
（暂无翻译）
He also beat both of his guests - Cbeebies star Waffle the Wonder Dog and his owner Simon, played by actor James Merry. Waffle's three correct results with no exact scores gave him 30 points, while James got four correct results with one exact score for 70 points, meaning they ended up with a average total of 50 points for the BBC predictions league table.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
For the fourth week in a row, however, the weekly win went to AI.
（暂无翻译）
It also managed five correct results but with three exact scores, leaving it with 140 points. There was only one game where everyone picked the right outcome - Arsenal's 2-0 win over Everton - and this time a lot of people got the right scoreline too.
（暂无翻译） （暂无翻译）
Chris and AI both managed it and so did the BBC readers.
（暂无翻译）
From around 28,000 predictions, that was the most popular score selected with more than 11,500 of you getting it exactly right.
