One other packed weekend of Premier League motion is here with key battles within the title race and the relegation battle on the agenda.
Arsenal have the prospect to maneuver six points clear on the summit after they tackle Fulham on Saturday evening.
Manchester City, who were in FA Cup semi-final motion last week, don’t play until Monday after they face a really tricky test on the road away to Everton.
With Nottingham Forest pulling clear, West Ham United and Tottenham are scrapping for his or her lives. Each won last outing with the Hammers away to Brentford this weekend with Spurs at Aston Villa.
Manchester United can confirm their place in next season’s Champions League after they host Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.
As ever, England legend and Betfair ambassador Alan Shearer has revealed his Premier League predictions to Metro.
Leeds vs Burnley
I feel Leeds will not sleep and beat Burnley on Friday. I feel all of those teams, particularly Leeds, seem as in the event that they’ve got a little bit of momentum and located form at the correct time. I feel it’s been there for a few weeks now.
I don’t think Leeds will go down, and I feel in the event that they win this weekend, which I expect them to, then that’ll be enough for them, they usually can all loosen up. Not have a celebration, but they’ll all loosen up.
Prediction – Leeds win
Brentford vs West Ham
West Ham are clearly getting into the correct direction and clearly not giving up until right at the tip. I feel they’ve scored more last-minute winners than I can remember.
There’s still the correct attitude in that football club, but it surely’ll be one other tough weekend for them coming up. I feel with the shape and with the outcomes that Brentford are getting where they’re being tough to beat without winning games, it wouldn’t surprise me again if that was one other draw.
Prediction – Draw
Newcastle vs Brighton
Someway Newcastle have to stop the rot. I dread to think the response in the event that they get beaten again this weekend.
They need to by some means do something, discover a option to get three points this weekend. By all accounts, the Saudis are in Newcastle this week, so whether or not they’re going to be at the sport or not, I don’t know. I’m going to the sport myself.
I feel the overwhelming majority of Newcastle fans are still supporting Eddie, and I agree with that but you could have to get a win from somewhere, you possibly can’t carry on doing what they’re doing.
I feel with Bruno back and after that performance last weekend, I feel they’ll have enough to beat Brighton this weekend.
Brighton’s potential situation is amazing. With the shape they’re in, stuffed with belief, they usually’ve got some really talented players. They’ve found their form over the previous few weeks, they usually’ll be really tough opposition but coming as much as Newcastle, it must be difficult.
I even have no confidence in what I’m seeing, by the way in which, I feel my prediction is more from the center than it’s from the pinnacle.
Prediction – Newcastle win
Wolves vs Sunderland
I watched the Sunderland game last week and it was unbelievable. Nottingham Forest were superb. A number of the performances from their players, especially Morgan Gibbs-White who was sensible again.
Wolves are done and have been for a very long time. I believed they’d picked up just a little bit, but they’ve gone back to what we saw within the early a part of the season. I’ll go for Sunderland to get back to winning ways.
Prediction – Sunderland win
Arsenal vs Fulham
It is a key game for me. You may’t state the importance of it for Arsenal because I do consider in the event that they win this weekend, then I feel they’ll take the title. I feel due to that pressure and the mentality, it would be tough for Man City to return back from.
I do know City have gotten the squad, but I just think six points at this stage is a giant, big ask. I feel it’s an important time for Arsenal to attempt to turn the screw just a little bit.
I’ll go for a house win.
Prediction – Arsenal win
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
I feel Bournemouth will win. I feel with what’s happening at Crystal Palace they’re leaving two or three big hitters on the bench and I feel Glasner will do the identical in between the European games. So, I’ll go for a house win.
Prediction – Bournemouth win
Manchester United vs Liverpool
It’s not the Liverpool or Man United we all know in any respect from how they’ve played this season. I don’t think it’ll be a classic. I feel due to where each teams are mentally and physically, and likewise when it comes to where they’re within the league.
I don’t think a draw could be a nasty result for each of them.
Prediction – Draw
Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs need to by some means discover a option to go again and win the sport. Aston Villa were in European actio on Thursday and had a very tough game but Spurs have injuries to Xavi Simons, and it looks as if Solanke is out so I’m going to go for an Aston Villa home win taking all things into consideration.
The injuries are to 2 key players. I mean, Simons scored a beautiful goal a few weeks ago. It’s horrible to see he’s injured his ACL and I even have huge sympathy for him. Spurs haven’t exactly been flying and sticking in goals left, right, and centre, but nevertheless, it’s still a blow for Spurs.
I feel Villa could have an excessive amount of for them on Sunday especially at home.
Prediction – Aston Villa win
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest
Chelsea are within the FA Cup Final after beating Leeds last week, in a game they’d to win they usually did so under Calum McFarlane, but I still have big query marks over them. I don’t see Forest going there and giving up easily, so again, I feel it may very well be one other draw.
Prediction – Draw
Everton vs Manchester City
Man City need to win here. You may’t make an error, you possibly can’t make a mistake at this stage of the season, and I do think with the way in which they’ll form of change it around, like they modified it within the semi-final of the FA Cup last week, I could be surprised at anything apart from Man City getting three points on the Hill Dickinson on Monday.
Prediction – Manchester City win
