Can struggling Manchester United bounce again towards Chelsea? Will Arsenal return to successful methods towards Newcastle United? How will bottom-placed Southampton get on towards Everton?
As ever, Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer has previewed the entire weekend’s Premier League motion for Metro…
Newcastle United v Arsenal
It’s going to be an incredible environment at St James’ Park and the win towards Chelsea within the cup will hopefully kick-start Newcastle’s season.
Arsenal have one or two accidents themselves so it’s a troublesome one to name as a result of they gained’t like coming to St James’ Park with the nice environment and the defeat there final season.
Having stated that, they’re an incredible staff, so I’ll go for a rating draw.
Bournemouth v Manchester Metropolis
Man Metropolis may have sufficient to go there and win this sport regardless of the small disappointment of shedding at Spurs in midweek.
Bournemouth secured a great consequence final week at Villa and fought rather well for it, however I’d anticipate Man Metropolis to take the factors on this one.
Ipswich City v Leicester Metropolis
This appears like a sport Ipswich should win.
I listened to Kieran McKenna after the sport final weekend and he stated there have been so many positives and in the event that they preserve taking part in like that, they’ll be aggressive, however they’ll’t preserve making the identical errors. They’re getting punished for a similar errors each week.
They need to minimize out errors and enhance in each single division as a result of they’ve been nowhere close to adequate to outlive thus far.
You’d assume that in the event that they’re going to get out of the difficulty they’re in, then this can be a big sport. It’s a considerably comparable scenario for Leicester although, too.
The distinction is that they have skilled that successful feeling and are in a a lot better place however for Ipswich, if they’ll’t win this one, then you definitely’d assume they’ll undergo the entire season having the identical issues.
It’s a troublesome one to name so I’ll go for a draw.
Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton have the flexibility to upset the apple cart however I don’t assume they are going to this weekend as a result of the sport is at Anfield and Liverpool beat them within the Carabao Cup earlier this week.
It is going to be a stronger Liverpool staff so I feel with the season they’re having and the shape they’re in, they’ll win this one.
Nottingham Forest v West Ham United
Nottingham Forest have been spectacular final week and there’s little question Nuno has one thing going there. West Ham have been dreadful within the first half towards Man United however have been a lot better within the second half.
With Forest at dwelling and the boldness they’ve acquired, I feel they’ll beat West Ham, particularly with the type of Chris Wooden – I’ve been massively impressed with him in entrance of aim.
Wooden is within the type of his life and his aim final week epitomised a ahead in-form with nice confidence.
It’s an unbelievable feeling going out onto the soccer pitch anticipating to attain and he’s in that vein of type for the time being, so it wouldn’t shock me if he will get one other aim this weekend.
Southampton v Everton
It’s one other big sport down towards the underside of the Premier League, however very very similar to Everton did a few weeks in the past at Ipswich, I see them taking all three factors.
They’re streetwise, Sean Dyche has been across the block, and so they know learn how to go to groups like Southampton and get outcomes. I’ll go for an Everton win.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Crystal Palace
Wolves have been 2-0 down on 88 minutes final week and the gamers have been nonetheless preventing for the supervisor which might solely be a optimistic. The 2 late objectives ought to give them nice confidence.
Crystal Palace although come right here on the again of excellent outcomes, getting their first league win and progressing within the cup, so that they’ll be filled with confidence too.
It wouldn’t shock me if Palace go there and get three factors so I’ll go for them to win as soon as once more.
Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa
Spurs are again at dwelling after an incredible win within the League Cup at Man Metropolis, however they’ve struggled lately at dwelling when Villa come to city.
Villa did have a poor end in midweek, and it wasn’t an incredible consequence final weekend towards Bournemouth with them conceding so late, however I feel Unai Emery will go to Spurs and get the three factors.
Manchester United v Cheslea
When a supervisor leaves and one other is available in, there’ll be a special environment, a renewed hope and perception at Outdated Trafford on Sunday, with or with out Amorim, particularly after Man United scored 5 objectives within the Carabao Cup.
There’ll be extra hope going into the sport this weekend than there was final week towards West Ham and that would actually energise the gamers on the pitch.
I used to be at St James’ for Chelsea’s journey in midweek, and it was a totally modified staff from the league sport between the 2, and the facet he places out towards Man United will likely be totally different once more.
It’s a troublesome one to name and doubtless why I’ll go for a rating draw. I fancy each groups to attain as a result of each groups can enhance defensively, and the added element of a brand new supervisor within the dugout at Outdated Trafford for the primary within the Premier League, whether or not that’s Ruben or Ruud, means Man Utd can get one thing out of this sport.
Fulham v Brentford
Thomas Frank admitted that Brentford have been poor for a lot of the sport final week, however having stated that, they did go and get all three factors, scoring 4 objectives.
I labored with Thomas Frank in the summertime at Euro 2024 and he was spectacular, a pleasant man and fascinating. He’s finished an impressive job at Brentford so there’s no shock to me that he has been talked about this week for the Manchester United job. I’m reluctant to say an even bigger job as a result of Brentford followers will come for me!
Fulham are an honest staff and are spectacular although, and I feel they’ll have sufficient to take the factors at dwelling.
