Alan Shearer’s Premier League predictions including Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Share:
The race for the Premier League title took a twist in midweek after Liverpool dropped points in midweek and Arsenal capitalised by winning the north London derby. Arne Slot’s men have been given another tough away assignment this weekend at Brentford, but Arsenal won’t have everything their own way against an Aston Villa side who cost them the title with a win at the Emirates during the run-in last season.

As ever, Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer previews the action for Metro.co.uk…. This one has got the potential to be a banana skin because you’ve got to admire Bournemouth this season with the way they’re going. They’ve got some really good players and particularly really good players in in forward positions. Newcastle are at home and with the form they’re in, I’m going to have to go for a home win. Prediction: Newcastle win.

Graham Potter’s gone in there at West Ham and he got his first home win which he’ll have been pleased to get early on. Crystal Palace are also going well, they beat Leicester away from home, which was really good but I think West Ham may just edge this one. Prediction: West Ham win.

Brentford drew with City, coming back and scoring two late goals and getting the draw, and they could have, perhaps should have nicked with a chance they had, so they’re a tough side to beat at home. Liverpool came up against a solid defence against Forrest, and a really good inform goalkeeper, drawing another game away from home. In this one though I think Liverpool will have too much for Brentford. I know they’ve got a Champions League game on Tuesday, but they can’t afford to think about that. Prediction: Liverpool win.
