Alan Shearer’s Premier League predictions including Chelsea vs Arsenal

Another circular of Premier League enactment earlier the last planetary interruption of the twelvemonth looms ample with Chelsea and Arsenal taking centre signifier connected Sunday afternoon.

Ruud van Nistelrooy meantime volition question to motion disconnected arsenic Manchester United interim manager successful benignant against Leicester City connected Sunday earlier the accomplishment of Ruben Amorim adjacent week.

After humbling midweek thrashing successful Europe, Manchester City are retired to debar a 4th consecutive decision distant to Brighton, portion Liverpool tin tighten their grip connected apical spot arsenic they invited Aston Villa to Anfield connected Saturday night.

As ever, Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer has previewed each of the weekend’s Premier League enactment for Metro…

Brentford v Bournemouth

I watched Brentford connected Monday night, and they couldn’t get retired of their fractional for astir of the game.

Brentford are bully astatine home, they’re attacking, and they bash people plentifulness of goals.

Bournemouth are flying, too. They could’ve scored 3 oregon 4 against Man City and their astir caller results amusement wherefore the Premier League is the champion successful the world.

My prediction is a gully successful this one.

Crystal Palace v Fulham

Crystal Palace got a large effect astatine location to Spurs past week and whitethorn person turned the corner.

Fulham are pugnacious to predict, though, and it looked similar they were ne'er going to people against Brentford connected Monday night, but past the manager makes the substitutions and Harry Wilson came on.

The 2 goals helium scored were unbelievable. I had a feeling if they got an aboriginal extremity successful added time, conscionable the mode shot goes, they’d person capable clip to spell connected and triumph it, and they did conscionable that.

I’ll spell for a gully here.

West Ham v Everton

This is simply a monolithic crippled for Julen Lopetegui. If West Ham lose, the sound astir him and the nine volition beryllium huge.

Everton had a mediocre effect against Southampton past week and they’re distant again present truthful I’m not convinced they tin crook up and win.

I’ll spell for a West Ham win due to the fact that they simply person to.

Wolves v Southampton

This is monolithic for some clubs.

Southampton yet got their triumph against Everton, and you could spot and consciousness the relief. You could spot the quality successful Russell Martin, and they volition anticipation to usage that triumph arsenic momentum going forward.

However, I’m going to spell for Wolves to get their archetypal triumph of the season due to the fact that if they don’t, overmuch similar Lopetegui and West Ham, Gary O’Neil volition besides beryllium nether immense pressure. We’ve been saying that the fixture database has been unkind to them, but this is simply a existent accidental to get disconnected the board.

Brighton v Man City

It’s a pugnacious crippled for Man City aft their 3rd consecutive decision successful the week astatine Sporting.

Pep has already said they’re struggling with injuries, but I deliberation what we’ve learnt implicit the years is that, erstwhile it possibly isn’t going good for Man City, determination shouldn’t beryllium immoderate panic, due to the fact that they often travel backmost and find the close answers.

It’ll beryllium a truly pugnacious crippled though due to the fact that we cognize however Brighton are playing and they caused Liverpool plentifulness of problems past week, but I bash deliberation City person capable to spell to Brighton and triumph the game, just.

Liverpool v Aston Villa

Both sides were of people successful Champions League enactment earlier successful the week, but Liverpool person an other day’s remainder and were astatine home.

It’s pugnacious for immoderate squad to play successful the Champions League and past execute astatine the play with the aforesaid energy, and Villa travel present aft an distant decision successful Brugge.

Liverpool are backmost astatine location here, and I deliberation they’ll person capable to bushed Aston Villa to stay apical of the array going into the planetary break.

Man United v Leicester

Manchester United volition person excessively overmuch for Leicester here. It wouldn’t astonishment maine if it ends likewise to the Carabao Cup game, arsenic I’d fancy them to people a fewer goals again with however they play, and however unfastened Leicester are.

Ruben Amorim won’t beryllium present yet, but I deliberation aft Sporting’s triumph implicit Man City, determination volition beryllium an other buzz successful the aerial astatine Old Trafford.

Home win.

Nottingham Forest v Newcastle

A travel to the City Ground is simply a pugnacious crippled for Newcastle astatine this infinitesimal successful time.

Chris Wood is successful the signifier of his life, scoring again past week and Forest’s 2 centre-backs are besides some impressive; Murillo and Milenkovic person formed a existent concern determination and they had a truly bully triumph against West Ham.

Newcastle were superb against Arsenal and backmost to their mean selves erstwhile again and if they were backmost astatine home, I’d beryllium tempted to accidental Newcastle volition win, but I’ll spell for a draw astatine the City Ground.

Spurs v Ipswich

Ipswich haven’t convinced maine yet and I deliberation they’ll find it truly pugnacious astatine Tottenham this weekend, with Spurs winning 2 immense games astatine location past week. If they negociate to support immoderate consistency, Ange and Spurs volition person a fantastic season.

I’d expect Tottenham to people a extremity oregon 2 present with the fig of chances they create, and Ipswich don’t look similar they volition beryllium capable to support them astatine bay. Kalvin Phillips is suspended too, truthful different location win.

Chelsea v Arsenal

Chelsea caput into their lucifer with Arsenal supra the Gunners aft 10 Premier League games, and though Arsenal person stumbled recently, it shows however good Enzo Maresca has done astatine Chelsea, particularly erstwhile you see the chaotic quality astatine the club.

The midfield is astir apt wherever this crippled with Arsenal volition beryllium won and lost. Rice and Partey against Caicedo and Lavia is simply a bully conflict due to the fact that you’re talking astir bully midfielders that bask handling the ball.

The crippled against Chelsea is simply a ‘must not get bushed game’ for Arsenal. I don’t attraction who you are, the imaginable of sitting 10 points down Liverpool is simply a batch astatine this level, and they can’t spend excessively galore much defeats.

There volition beryllium fireworks, and it wouldn’t astonishment maine if we saw a reddish paper oregon two, but I’ll spell for a gully connected Sunday.
