Sports Mole takes on Sea Girls bassist and Arsenal fan Andrew Dawson for a Premier League predictions challenge in gameweek eight of the 2023-24 season.

Last season's top two face off in the headline fixture of gameweek eight this weekend as the Premier League heads into the October international break with a bang.

Arsenal will welcome the champions Manchester City to the Emirates knowing that a win will lift them above Pep Guardiola's men, who fell to their first defeat of the league season last weekend.

Arsenal are one of two remaining unbeaten teams alongside North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who visit Luton Town in the opening match of the weekend.

Struggling duo Chelsea and Manchester United also feature on Saturday, while Liverpool visit Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

Each gameweek, Sports Mole is taking on a famous musician or band in a prediction competition, and this week it is the turn of Arsenal fan and bassist from the band Sea Girls, Andrew Dawson.

Andrew Dawson Q&A

How did you come to support Arsenal and what are your favourite memories from your time as a fan?

Arsenal is our family club, goes back at least as far back as my grandad. Last year me and my Dad went to a Premier League home match together for the first time, where we beat Wolves which is my favourite memory as I don't get to see him loads!

Who have been your favourite five players for your club? (Historically or currently)

Does anyone ever not say Thierry Henry? Saka, how can you not love him. Bellerin, such a dude! Vieira and I can't not think of David Seaman, they don't do footballers like that anymore!

What's going on with the band at the moment?

We've been having a great time recording recently and are really looking forward to sharing everything we've been working on in an album in 2024. That will also mean lots of touring; both our last two albums were disrupted by the pandemic so it's going to be amazing to share the experience fully with people across the world this time!
