Football legend Alan Shearer has shared his predictions for the upcoming Boxing Day Premier League matches. The top spot holder Liverpool will face a tough challenge to maintain their lead against bottom-ranked Southampton. Meanwhile, Chelsea will also be in action against their west London rivals Fulham, and Nottingham Forest will host struggling Tottenham.
Manchester United will be visiting Wolves, and Arsenal will return to the field on December 27 against relegation-battlers Ipswich Town. As always, Betfair Ambassador and former England player Alan Shearer has given his insights and analysis for the games in an exclusive interview with Metro.
Shearer predicts that Manchester City will bounce back from their recent poor performance and secure a win against Everton at home. He also believes that Aston Villa's recent form will be a challenge for Newcastle, who will face them before their big match against Manchester United next week.
The match between Newcastle and Aston Villa is expected to be tough, as both teams have been in good form lately. However, Shearer thinks that Newcastle will have the home advantage and will come out with a win.
Shearer also commented on the upcoming match between Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, stating that it will be a difficult game for Tottenham after their defeat against Liverpool. He predicts that Forest's playing style of sitting back and hitting on the counter will be a challenge for Tottenham's weakened defense.
Looking at the game between Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, Shearer predicts a home win for Bournemouth, as they have shown strong performances against top teams like Manchester United. He also expects Chelsea to secure a win against Fulham in their London derby match.
The match between Southampton and West Ham is a tough one to call, as Southampton has a new manager and West Ham is not performing well. Shearer predicts a draw for this game.
In the match between Wolves and Manchester United, Shearer thinks that Wolves will have the upper hand after their recent win against Leicester. He also predicts a draw for this game.
Shearer also expects a big win for Liverpool against Leicester, as Leicester's defense has been struggling lately. He also predicts a win for Brighton against Brentford and Arsenal against Ipswich, despite the latter's strong performance against Newcastle.
