Former Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has given his take on the standout Premier League fixtures scheduled for this weekend.
The action begins with the Merseyside derby as Liverpool host Everton at Anfield on Saturday. Later in the day, Manchester United face Chelsea at Old Trafford, while Arsenal will lock horns with Manchester City in Sunday’s headline clash.
Speaking to BetFair, Shearer tipped Liverpool to edge past Everton, highlighting their strong league form despite not being at their best. “Liverpool at Anfield have won four from four in the league without playing particularly well, so I’ll back them for a home win,” he said.
On Manchester United’s showdown with Chelsea, Shearer predicted a stalemate, citing the Blues’ European exertions as a possible factor.
For Arsenal versus Manchester City, he again went for a draw, noting the tight nature of the fixture and Arsenal’s recent impressive performances.
Predictions:
Liverpool vs Everton – Liverpool win
Manchester United vs Chelsea – Draw
Arsenal vs Manchester City – Draw
