Alan Shearer has delivered his latest Premier League predictions ahead of another vital weekend in the top flight. The former Newcastle striker expects Leeds United to beat West Ham United on Friday night, citing the home advantage at Elland Road and West Ham's poor form.
Shearer said: 'Leeds are a different outfit at home, at Elland Road, and it was pretty shambolic the way that West Ham fell apart on Monday night at home to Brentford. They realised there that they've got a massive problem.' He added that West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo has a big job to turn things around amid fan discontent.
On Saturday, Chelsea host Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. Shearer praised Sunderland's strong start but believes Chelsea will have too much quality. He also expects Newcastle United to beat Fulham at St James' Park, saying: 'Newcastle should have too much for Fulham.'
The marquee clash sees Manchester United entertain Brighton at Old Trafford. Shearer predicts a draw, noting Brighton's organisation and United's impressive result at Liverpool last weekend. Liverpool face Brentford on Saturday evening, with Shearer warning: 'They cannot have another defeat in the league, or their title push might be over.'
Sunday's fixtures include Arsenal against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa versus Manchester City, and Everton hosting Tottenham. Shearer's full predictions are available via Betfair.
