“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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
