“Arsenal Will Win at Old Trafford” – Shearer Predicts Weekend Fixtures
Former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer has shared his predictions for some of the key Premier League matches this weekend.
Liverpool are currently sitting 13 points clear at the top and will host bottom-placed Southampton at Anfield. Arsenal, meanwhile, will aim to close the gap when they visit Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The weekend’s action will kick off with Nottingham Forest taking on Manchester City as Forest continue their push for a Champions League spot.
Speaking to BetFair, Shearer said Forest’s impressive season could get even better. “Imagine them finishing in the top four and winning the FA Cup — that would be huge for Forest fans,” he said, predicting a draw.
On Liverpool’s clash with Southampton, Shearer expects a comfortable win for the Reds. “After that tough game against PSG, playing Southampton at home is exactly what Liverpool would want before facing PSG again on Tuesday,” he said.
For Chelsea’s game against Leicester, Shearer believes the home side will come out on top. “Leicester have been struggling, and with Chelsea playing at home, I can’t see any other result,” he said.
As for Manchester United versus Arsenal, Shearer is backing the Gunners to take all three points. “Arsenal had an easy game the other night, while United are still dealing with their issues. I’m going for an Arsenal win,” he added.
Turkish transfer expert Süleyman Rodop has confirmed that Galatasaray will no longer pursue Victor Osimhen following Napoli’s tough demands. Napoli reportedly asked for €40 million upfront and another €35 million by 2026, along with a sell-on clause, after Galatasaray submitted their fourth offer for the Nigerian striker.
Speaking to Turkish outlet habersarikirmizi, Rodop stated that the Turkish club won’t go beyond their final bid. He explained that although Osimhen’s current deal runs out next year, Napoli still hold the option to extend it by another season. Rodop praised Osimhen for his professionalism, saying he handled the situation admirably.
However, Galatasaray have decided to walk away, believing Napoli are dragging the deal unnecessarily. “The latest offer stands, and it won’t change,” Rodop said. “Napoli’s president is just playing games now.” Osimhen is said to be eager to return to Galatasaray permanently, after impressing on loan last season.
New Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus has made it clear that Cristiano Ronaldo played a major role in his decision to join the club. During his first remarks after taking the job, Jesus admitted that without Ronaldo, he likely wouldn’t have accepted the offer.
The Portuguese coach, who takes over from Stefano Pioli following a disappointing season, said he’s eager to help both the club and its captain win silverware. “Cristiano hasn’t won much here yet,” Jesus said. “I want to help change that. We speak the same language, so working together will be smooth.”
Napoli seem to be raising the bar as talks continue over Victor Osimhen’s potential move this summer. The Nigerian striker is eager to make a permanent switch to Galatasaray after a loan spell in Istanbul, but the Turkish club has already had multiple bids turned down.
On Monday, another offer was reportedly rejected, with Napoli now demanding €40 million upfront, another €35 million by 2026, and a sell-on clause. Galatasaray isn’t backing down just yet, but they’re holding firm on their terms, they want to complete the deal for €35 million by 2027 and are not open to including a sell-on clause.
