Weekends are always an exciting time for football fans, and this one is no exception as all 20 Premier League teams are back in action. It's been a busy midweek, but the action doesn't stop there. Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer is here to give us a preview of the upcoming matches, including the highly anticipated last Merseyside league derby at Goodison Park.
First up, we have Everton versus Liverpool, and it's a must-win game for Everton after their impressive performance against Wolves. However, with Liverpool's star player Mohamed Salah in top form, it's hard to see them coming out on top. Goodison Park has been a historic ground, and it'll be a shame if this is the last Merseyside derby to be played there. Shearer predicts a Liverpool win.
Next, we have Brentford versus Newcastle, and it's a tough one to call. Brentford has been strong at home, but they struggle to get results away. On the other hand, Newcastle's draw against Liverpool may have given them the confidence boost they needed. Shearer is hopeful for an away win, despite Brentford's impressive home form.
Aston Villa is back to winning ways, while Southampton continues to struggle with conceding goals. Shearer can't see anything but a home win for Aston Villa in this match. Crystal Palace versus Manchester City is another match where Shearer's prediction has changed after City's win in midweek. He now believes they'll have too much quality for Crystal Palace and will come out on top.
Manchester United versus Nottingham Forest is a tough one to call, with Forest facing two tough away matches in a row. Shearer predicts a draw in this one. Fulham versus Arsenal is a London derby, and while Shearer would usually go for a draw, he believes Arsenal's current form will give them the edge in this match.
Leicester will face a tough challenge against Brighton, who Shearer believes will have too much quality for them. Ipswich versus Bournemouth is another match where the away team is favored by Shearer, who has been impressed with Bournemouth's performance this season.
And finally, we have Spurs versus Chelsea, with manager Ange Postecoglou under pressure after a recent defeat. Shearer predicts a draw in this London derby. West Ham versus Wolves is a tough one to call, with both teams not impressing Shearer in recent matches. He predicts a draw, which won't be a great result for either team.
