Alan Shearer’s Premier League predictions including Tottenham vs Liverpool

After some exciting midweek Carabao Cup action the Premier League takes centre stage once more with some big clashes to look forward to this weekend. As ever, Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer previews the action for Metro.co.uk. Man City’s bad run doesn’t look like ending with the way the result went for them last weekend. Obviously, they’re in a rut and finding it very difficult to get out of, and Aston Villa will fancy their chances at home. They’re a good side Villa and when they’re roared on with that crowd behind them, they’ll be very difficult to stop. They’re particularly good in forward positions. I’ll go for a draw.
City are in unchartered waters and particularly Pep Guardiola. He’s never known anything like this. It doesn’t change who and what he is, I think he’s trying to take a bit of heat of his players and stick up for them. Of course, you can see why he’s doing that. He’s normal isn’t he.. every year we’ve all, rightly so, been saying how great he is, the best at this and that, and now he’s getting a taste of what most managers have to go through.
It’s tough for Pep and his team but they just have to get their heads down and think that eventually things will turn but I think that confidence wise, there’s no doubt Man City are rock bottom. I think they’ll get a draw at Aston Villa. Prediction: Draw.
Nottingham Forest are flying. They’ve had great recruitment, the team are having an unbelievable season, Chris Wood’s having the season of his life and they’ve really signed some good players. Defensively they’re solid. Nikola Milenkovic has been absolutely outstanding.
