We’re back from the international break, and that can only mean one thing — the Jonaben Challenge is back on!
After a short pause in Premier League action, it’s time to dive straight into another exciting round of predictions as we head into Gameweek 8.
In week 7, the fans delayed submitting their predictions, so ChatGPT stepped in to represent them.
And let’s just say… the AI came to play! 🤖🔥

As always, it’s not just about guessing — it’s about reading the form, the momentum, and maybe trusting a little bit of football intuition.
Let’s see if the international break shakes things up or gives teams the reset they needed.
Zubyken is Back
After ChatGPT represented the fans in Week 7, Zubyken is back in the mix for Week 8!
The guy has proven to be one of the toughest challengers in this series — sharp, confident, and often spot-on with his predictions.

Here are Zubyken’s Week 8 EPL Predictions 💙💪
- Nottingham Forest 1–2 Chelsea

- Crystal Palace 1–1 Bournemouth
- Manchester City 3–0 Everton
- Sunderland 2–1 Wolves
- Brighton 2–1 Newcastle United
- Fulham 0–2 Arsenal

- West Ham 1–2 Brentford
Here’s how I see the fixtures going:
- Nottingham Forest 1–3 Chelsea
- Burnley 1–1 Leeds United
- Crystal Palace 2–1 Bournemouth
- Manchester City 4–0 Everton
- Sunderland 1–1 Wolves
- Brighton 1–2 Newcastle United
- Fulham 0–2 Arsenal
- Tottenham Hotspur 2–2 Aston Villa
- Liverpool 2–0 Manchester United
- West Ham 2–1 Brentford
Both of us fancy Chelsea to win away at Nottingham Forest — looks like we’re on the same wavelength there.
Big differences ahead: I’m expecting Newcastle to come off victorious against Brighton, while Zubyken sees the Seagulls grabbing a home win.
Liverpool vs Manchester United might be the headline clash of the weekend. Zubyken predicts a narrow 2–1 win for Liverpool, while I’m calling it a resounding victory.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa could go either way — Zubyken expects Spurs to edge it, but I’m going with a draw in what could be one of the best matches of the round.
And as always, Manchester City at home looks unstoppable — we both agree Everton are in for a long afternoon.
🏁 Wrap-Up
Week 8 promises drama, goals, and more twists in the Jonaben Challenge.
After the fans stretched the lead in Week 7, I’m gunning to close the gap this time around.
The current overall score stands at Jonaben 39 – 47 Fans, and with Zubyken back in action, it’s bound to be another thrilling contest.
