Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer, has given his predictions for some of the Premier League fixtures set to be played this weekend.
The English top flight returns following the first international break of the season, with several exciting matches lined up. The biggest is the Manchester Derby on Sunday, while Arsenal face Nottingham Forest and Chelsea travel to Brentford.
Shearer’s Predictions
Shearer shared his thoughts on the key fixtures:
- Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest
“What a first game for Ange Postecoglou. Incredibly tough. It’s a tough one to call but I think Arsenal will just have enough to take the points.
Prediction: Arsenal win” - Brentford vs Chelsea
“I think Chelsea will have enough to nick this one. Derby games are always tight but yeah, Chelsea will just win here.
Prediction: Chelsea win” - Burnley vs Liverpool
“I can only see a Liverpool win to be honest. With the games they’ve had so far. They’ve not been great performances but they have been great results. I’ll go for an away win.
Prediction: Liverpool win” - Man City vs Man Utd
“Home win. It’s a huge game for both clubs already this season and it always is. But because of what’s happened to Man City and the pressure Man United could be under, it’s a huge game.
Prediction: Man City win”
Weekend Excitement Builds
Fans across the world will be keeping an eye on the Manchester Derby, while Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool aim to secure crucial points as the Premier League season kicks back into action.
