Former Newcastle United striker and Premier League legend Alan Shearer has shared his predictions for some of the high-profile fixtures this weekend, giving fans a glimpse into how he expects the action to unfold.

Shearer highlighted the early kick-off between his former club Newcastle and Chelsea, emphasizing the Magpies’ need to regain form against teams in the upper-mid table.

“Newcastle vs Chelsea – They need to get back to winning ways against clubs that are going to finish in and around them. My heart says a home win,” Shearer told BetFair.

Manchester City face West Ham in a potentially pivotal clash at the Etihad, with City having the chance to move top of the league. Shearer expects the reigning champions to continue their dominant run.

“Manchester City vs West Ham – With the form they’re in and the goals they’re scoring, it will be a tough afternoon for West Ham. Prediction – Manchester City win,” he added.

Tottenham Hotspur hosting Liverpool is another key fixture, and Shearer expects a closely contested encounter.

“Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool – I still think Liverpool have enough to make a top-four push. Prediction – Draw,” he said.

Arsenal’s trip to Everton is described as tricky, given David Moyes’ well-organized side. Despite the challenge, Shearer predicts the Gunners to edge out a victory.

“Everton vs Arsenal – Could go either way, but I’ll back Arsenal to win,” he noted.

Finally, Aston Villa host Manchester United, and Shearer believes Villa’s home form and in-form players could give them the edge over the Red Devils.

“Aston Villa vs Manchester United – I think Villa will have too much for them at home. Prediction – Aston Villa win,” he concluded.
