Former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer has shared his predictions ahead of the Premier League Game Week 10 fixtures, with several crucial encounters lined up this weekend across the UK.
Arsenal travel to Burnley looking to maintain their strong form at the top of the table, while Tottenham Hotspur host Chelsea in a highly anticipated London derby. Liverpool, on the other hand, will hope to bounce back from their poor run when they face Aston Villa at Anfield.
Elsewhere, Manchester City will seek to return to winning ways against Bournemouth.
Sharing his thoughts, Shearer said:
“Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United – I think it’s too early to say United are the real deal or can finish in the top four or five. If they can continue this in a month’s time, I might change my mind. Let’s see what the next couple of weeks bring. Prediction – Draw.”
“Burnley vs Arsenal – They’re flying in the Champions League, they’re flying in the league, the club is full of confidence, and they look like the real deal this year. Prediction – Arsenal win.”
“Spurs vs Chelsea – One thing Chelsea can’t afford is another red card. Losing a player in these games can make a huge difference, but it wouldn’t surprise me because there’s always a bit of needle in this game. Prediction – Draw.”
The weekend fixtures promise to shake up the Premier League standings, with several clubs battling to keep pace in the title race and others fighting to regain form.
