Former Newcastle United star Alan Shearer has shared his predictions for some of this weekend’s big Premier League matches.

The biggest game of the weekend sees Liverpool visiting Manchester City. The Reds are aiming to move ahead of Arsenal in the title race.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will play at home against West Ham on Saturday, and Chelsea will travel to Aston Villa. Manchester United will also face Everton at Goodison Park in the early kick-off.

Shearer, speaking to BetFair, gave his thoughts on these key fixtures:

• Arsenal vs West Ham
  West Ham had a disappointing result last week and will hope to recover. However, Shearer believes Arsenal will be too strong at home. Prediction: Arsenal win.
• Aston Villa vs Chelsea
  Shearer thinks Chelsea could finish anywhere between fourth and ninth this season. He also feels their performances may drop now that they are out of cup competitions. With Aston Villa playing at home, he expects them to win. Prediction: Aston Villa win.
• Man City vs Liverpool
  Shearer acknowledges that Liverpool’s defense has allowed opponents some chances recently, which could help Man City score. However, he believes Liverpool’s attack will be stronger and that they will score more goals. Prediction: Liverpool win.

Fans will be eager to see if Shearer’s predictions come true as the Premier League action unfolds this weekend.
