As ever, England legend and Betfair ambassador Alan Shearer has revealed his Premier League predictions to Metro.

Newcastle vs Chelsea

Chelsea got a great win last weekend. A deserved the win, they usually played well. Malo Gusto, I assumed, was absolutely superb. And Enzo Maresca completely modified the 11 for midweek within the Carabao Cup. 

Newcastle, as we all know, we don’t must go into what happened last weekend again. They’re at home, they need to bounce back. And I do know they’ve had the Carabao Cup and the manager did change it around and rightly so. 

We’ll need to wait and see what he goes with tomorrow in that early game. But two clubs who desperately need a result for obvious reasons. Maresca on the back of what he said and putting huge pressure on himself in saying that… 

They did win with a very recent 11 within the League Cup, but then it’s back to league game again. In order that they need to get a win for obvious reasons or a performance. And Newcastle, as we all know, they’re at home. They need to bounce back after that shocker last weekend.  

I believe Newcastle will go again. They are going to attempt to get that energy back that makes it really difficult for teams at St. James’ Park. I do know they conceded late against Liverpool, conceded late against Arsenal, and Spurs. 

Nonetheless, they should get back to winning ways against clubs which can be going to complete in and around them, I assume. And let’s hope that starts tomorrow. So possibly my heart is ruling my head here. I’m going to go home win.

Prediction – Newcastle win

Bournemouth vs Burnley

Burnley have lost seven on the spin. So, for that reason and that reason alone, and for what Bournemouth did at United being so good in forward positions – I believe they’ll have an excessive amount of for them, particularly being at home to Burnley. 

If it was anyone else, I’d be reluctant to say it, but they’re playing against Burnley who’ve been really poor and provides me no confidence by any means that they’ll not sleep. I’m going to go home win for Bournemouth.

Prediction – Bournemouth win

Brighton vs Sunderland

I assume Sunderland losing players to AFCON will affect them. There’s no bitterness here by any means after what happened last weekend! I’m going to go for a Brighton home win because Sunderland will miss those players who’ve left.

Let’s see how Sunderland gets on for the following five weeks or so without those players. But yeah, I can’t say anything aside from good things about them, unfortunately, as much because it pains me to do it. They’ve been immense they usually deserved their victory last week. 

They deserve where they’re within the league because they’ve made it so difficult for anyone that they’re playing against. But I believe Brighton away, losing players to AFCON… I’m going to go home win.

Prediction – Brighton win

Manchester City vs West Ham

City modified their lineup in midweek. Haaland didn’t play but they got the result they needed and are through to the semi-final. They’re at home. I wouldn’t give an excessive amount of hope for West Ham to get anything at Manchester City.

They might put Arsenal under massive pressure by playing before them. And I don’t see anything aside from a house win. I believe with the shape they’re in, the football they’re playing, the goals they’re scoring, that can be a tricky afternoon for West Ham.

Prediction – Manchester City win

Wolves vs Brentford 

Wolves have given themselves a little bit glimmer of hope due to that performance last weekend. I mean, everyone I assume aside from Arsenal fans felt sorry for Wolves and their performance last week, getting nothing out of that game. 

Brentford are in poor form after a great run of results before that. It doesn’t seem as in the event that they can get a win. I’m going to go for a draw. I’ll go some extent apiece.

Prediction – Draw

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

It’s a tricky one to call after what happened to Spurs last week and Liverpool have gotten a few results. I’m going to go draw. I’m going to go sit on the fence. I believe that won’t be great for either side, but it surely wouldn’t be a disaster coming out with some extent apiece. So, I’m going to go draw.

Salah got here on last week and did rather well. I assume he had an hour last week and I assumed his performance was excellent. He brought an energy, still looked as if he was strong and fit and did rather well. He must have scored though missing an enormous probability. 

I believe they’ll miss that. They haven’t got him to do this if that happens again this week, particularly with the injuries Liverpool have gotten. Doubtless, even with all of the noise that was around him, there’s little question that they’ll miss him as an option.

I’d still have Liverpool entering into the highest 4, despite what I’ve seen all season. I still think they’ve got enough to make a push, they usually might even sign one or two in January. So, for me, it will still be Liverpool getting in the highest 4.

Prediction – Draw

Everton vs Arsenal

This can be a really tricky game for Arsenal. David Moyes has got Everton playing well and he’s got them tough to beat. I do know that they went to Chelsea last weekend and didn’t get the result. But Arsenal going there… if it was at Arsenal, it will be a no brainer to say home win, but it surely’s not, it’s at Everton which makes it totally different. 

I still think they’ll have enough. I still think with what happened last weekend and getting that last minute winner, that will hopefully kick them on to go and get the result, but this can be a tough one for them. 

Arsenal were in a really sticky situation last weekend against Wolves. We said before the sport, in the event you wanted a game straight after a poor result, then you definately’d want Wolves at home. But to be fair to Wolves, they made it really difficult for them. 

But Arsenal didn’t play well. They weren’t at their best in any respect. But the larger picture is by some means they managed to win with an own goal on the last minute.

But that may go either way for them. I assume they take huge confidence, get an enormous boost from not playing well and still get the win when under huge pressure. Or they begin asking themselves questions again with the shape that Manchester City are in. It could go either way, let’s see what happens this weekend.

Prediction – Arsenal win

Leeds vs Crystal Palace

I believe Oliver Glasner will revert back to what works best for him or has within the league aside from last weekend. But they need to have scored some goals in that first half against Man City last weekend.

And I believe they’ll beat Leeds tomorrow despite the run that Leeds are on, so I’m going to go away win.

Prediction – Crystal Palace win

Aston Villa vs Manchester United

I believe Villa at home can have an excessive amount of for them, particularly with Mbeumo gone and Diallo gone. It’ll be really interesting to see what they do, whether he reverts back to his five on the back, Amorim.

But I just think the shape that Villa are in, a few of the players which can be on song on the minute… I mean, Morgan Rogers is flying. Watkins, Tielemans. I believe Villa can have an excessive amount of for them, so a house win for me.

Prediction – Aston Villa win

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest

Fulham went in strong against Newcastle on Wednesday. They’ll be hurt after that. And I believe with Forest’s result last weekend, then that will give them belief and confidence. And I believe the way in which they’ll play; they’ll go there and sit and hit them on the break. It wouldn’t surprise me if Forest went there and got a win. So, I’m going to go away win.

Prediction – Nottingham Forest win
