After a week of European action, the Premier League is back with some exciting fixtures. Liverpool face a tricky trip to Bournemouth, while Arsenal take on Manchester City in a match that could shape their title hopes. Alan Shearer offers his insights on the upcoming matches:
Nottingham Forest vs Brighton
Forest’s surprise loss to Bournemouth last time out could motivate them to bounce back at home against Brighton’s attacking style.
Prediction: Forest win
Newcastle vs Fulham
With Newcastle in strong form, Isak playing well, and a fully fit squad, they should come out on top at home.
Prediction: Newcastle win
Everton vs Leicester
Leicester’s unexpected win over Spurs makes them dangerous, but Everton’s home advantage should give them the edge.
Prediction: Everton win
Ipswich vs Southampton
Both teams have struggled, but Southampton’s poor form this season makes Ipswich the likely winner at home.
Prediction: Ipswich win
Bournemouth vs Liverpool
Bournemouth has caused surprises, but Liverpool’s depth and options will likely overpower them.
Prediction: Liverpool win
Wolves vs Aston Villa
Despite Villa’s tough Champions League match, their quality should prove too much for Wolves, who have been disappointing.
Prediction: Aston Villa win
Man United vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace tends to perform better away, and they’ll likely frustrate Manchester United with their counter-attacking style.
Prediction: Crystal Palace win
Brentford vs Spurs
Brentford’s strong home form will pose a significant challenge to Spurs, who may struggle against their determined opposition.
Prediction: Brentford win
Arsenal vs Man City
A tense match with both teams still vying for success. Though City is no longer in the title race, they will still provide a strong challenge to Arsenal’s ambitions.
Prediction: Draw
Chelsea vs West Ham
Both teams are trying to find their rhythm, but with this being a London derby, expect a tight contest that ends in a draw.
Prediction: Draw
