Predicting possible outcome of the fixtures, Shearer said: “Brighton v Manchester United – It’s a tough one for Manchester United, to visit a team who won by three goals on the road last weekend. It’s a tough game to predict but I think it will be a score draw.
“Aston Villa v Arsenal – I think Aston Villa can do it too, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a scoreless draw, but I’ll put my neck on the line and predict a home win for Aston Villa.
“Manchester City v Ipswich Town – I can’t see Ipswich Town getting any result here. I think Ipswich put up a spirited fight against Liverpool in the first half, and Kieran McKenna can be very proud of his players with the way they pressed, the energy showed and their organisation
“Wolves v Chelsea – Wolves were okay against Arsenal, they got battered in the first half but they came into the game a bit in the second half and Raya prevented them from scoring a couple of times. I’m going to go for a Wolves win.
“Liverpool v Brentford – Brentford got off to a good start against Crystal Palace last week, but Liverpool were brilliant in the second half against Ipswich, and here we are with Arne Slot’s first home game. I don’t expect anything but a home win at Anfield.”
