Alan Shearer predicts FA Cup fourth round ties with two Premier League giants losing Alan Shearer is predicting more misery for Tottenham and an early FA Cup exit for Chelsea ahead of this weekend's fourth round ties.
In one of the most intriguing cup ties, Newcastle travel to League One table toppers Birmingham City - and Shearer reckons the Magpies will notch up their second big cup win in a week.
Spurs were slammed by pundits in midweek for their meek surrender in the Carabao Cup semi-finals against Liverpool, who thrashed them 4-0 at Anfield to book a date with Shearer's beloved Newcastle in next month's final.
And Shearer reckons Unai Emery and Co will inflict more cup pain on Spurs and Postecoglou, who has made no secret of his strong record of winning a trophy during his second season with clubs.
"With Villa getting into the top eight in the Champions League I think it will affect Emery's thinking as they won't have a game next week, so he'll be able to put out a stronger side than perhaps he would've if they were having a play-off game.
