Alan Shearer Premier League Predictions MD5: Everton to grab first win of the season | OneFootball

English Premier League

Alan is back with his predictions for Matchday 5

We have another blockbuster game in the Premier League this weekend as last season's top two clash on Super Sunday, so here with his exclusive views on that game plus predictions for the other nine matches is Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer...

Game of the Weekend

Manchester City v Arsenal - Sunday 16:30

I am going for a draw in this one. It's a long week with both teams having played in the Champions League as well, so a draw for both teams isn't a bad result, even though Man City are at home.

Liverpool have dropped points already, Arsenal have dropped two points already at home to Brighton, but I don't think a draw would be a disaster for either team.

Alan's prediction: Draw

Remaining Fixtures

West Ham v Chelsea - Saturday 12:30

A tough game to call on Saturday lunchtime. It is yet another London derby for West Ham and very much like the London derby I spoke about last weekend at Fulham, where I also predicted a draw, I am going to go for another score draw here.

Chelsea got another win at Bournemouth and had their keeper to thank, and it was great for Nkunku to get off the mark last week.

Alan's prediction: Score Draw

Aston Villa v Wolves - Saturday 15:00

Aston Villa are back at home after a great week. Coming from behind against Everton here at Villa Park and getting their Champions League campaign off with a convincing win. It should be rocking at Villa Park.

It's been a tough start to the season for Wolves, and it doesn't help when you've sold your two best players in Neto and Max Kilman. I know they've brought players in, but I've looked at Wolves in these first four games and I think it's going to be tough for them this season.

They did okay last season; they struggled at the end but I am a fan of Gary O'Neil, however, Gary has to go out and win some games pretty sharpish. I don't think that will start here though, home win.

Alan's prediction: Aston Villa to Win

Fulham v Newcastle - Saturday 15:00

This will be a tough game for Newcastle. We'll see if Eddie decides to bring Harvey Barnes in from the start which would be exciting to watch as a front three with Gordon and Isak, but Fulham are decent and up front, they do have some quality now.

I'll go for a draw.

Alan's prediction: Draw

Leicester v Everton - Saturday 15:00

What a game this is already, early into the season and it feels a massive game for Sean Dyche.

There were lots of things Everton did well against Aston Villa, and even when they were 3-2 down, they still created chances. If Dominic Calvert-Lewin sticks one of those two chances away in the second half then we might be talking about a different story.

Leicester did really well to get a point at Palace, but I'm going to go with Everton to get off the mark here and get a win which would be massive for Dyche and the Everton fans.

Alan's prediction: Everton to Win

Liverpool v Bournemouth - Saturday 15:00

No one saw last week's result coming at Anfield against Nottingham Forest, who deserved the three points. They have had a brilliant start to the season there's no doubt about that.

Liverpool conceded early in Milan which could have rocked them after the weekend, but they came back well to win the game in Italy.

Arne Slot will change things around in the team because of what happened last week and because of the extra game in midweek too.

I think they'll have enough, and it'll be a home win for Liverpool.

Alan's prediction: Liverpool to Win

Southampton v Ipswich - Saturday 15:00

This game is very much like Leicester v Everton, huge for both teams.

Out of the promoted teams, I think Ipswich have probably given themselves the best chance of survival and I've not liked what I've seen from Southampton in front of goal.

They've had a lot of possession, a lot of chances and missed the penalty against Man United. They were impressive for 30 minutes but missing the penalty was a game changer.

When you have chances against any club at Premier League level, they're few and far between, especially when you're a newly promoted team, so you have to take them.

It was a weird situation because Brereton-Diaz has taken and scored nine penalties, yet Cameron Archer has never scored a penalty, and he was given the task of taking it. Southampton will struggle this season because of a lack of goals.

Away win.

Alan's prediction: Ipswich to Win

Tottenham v Brentford - Saturday 15:00

I was hugely impressed with Brentford against Man City, particularly in the first 40 minutes and again they'll make it difficult for Spurs here.

I really like Thomas Frank as a manager. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him in the summer at the Euros and I was really impressed with the way he spoke and his ideas. He's an impressive guy and doing a great job at Brentford

Unfortunately for them, it looks as if Wissa is going to be injured for a while which is a big blow, so I'm going to go for a Spurs win.

Alan's prediction: Tottenham to Win

Crystal Palace v Man United - Saturday 17:30

Man United got that much needed win at Southampton last week, no other result would have been acceptable, but this is a tougher ask.

The promising thing for Man United is Palace have not got going yet this season, and this may not be the one to start. However, they did batter them here last season.

It is a really tough one to call but it will be a fantastic atmosphere at Selhurst Park. I will go for a draw.

Alan's prediction: Draw

Brighton v Nottingham Forest - Sunday 14:00

No one had Nottingham Forest winning last week at Anfield, but they were impressive. They have had a great start to the season which I don't think many of us saw coming.

Whether or not they can go to Brighton and do the same, I'm not sure. That might be too much of an ask to pull it off again.

Brighton didn't get a great result at home to Ipswich, but I do think Ipswich will be the best of the promoted sides, so it remains to be seen how that result looks long term. It has still been a brilliant start by the new manager, and they have some fantastic players.

Home win.

Alan's prediction: Brighton to Win
