Alan Shearer is back with his latest Premier League predictions, forecasting that Manchester United will end their losing streak across all competitions by beating Fulham, and that Iraola will fail to lead Liverpool to victory against his former club. Additionally, Tottenham Hotspur will continue their struggle to secure a win.

Brentford vs. Chelsea

This match is difficult to predict. You can imagine the heated atmosphere, and Brentford's players will be highly motivated. Chelsea's defence is very poor, but their attacking prowess is quite impressive. Brentford will certainly try everything to put pressure on Chelsea. I predict this London derby will end in a draw.

Prediction: Draw

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Aston Villa

Honestly, I don't favour either team, and this weekend's match is unpredictable for both sides. I think this will be another draw; a draw feels very likely in this fixture, possibly even 0-0. Especially since both teams have underperformed so far this season.

Prediction: Draw

Everton vs. Ipswich

I favour the home team to win. Everton are strong and secured a good result away at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. I'm confident their home strength is enough to beat Ipswich. Ipswich got a decent result with a draw away at Crystal Palace last weekend, but I back Everton to take three points.

Prediction: Everton win

Brighton vs. Arsenal

This will be a difficult match for Arsenal. However, given the team's current form, available personnel, internal confidence, and league position, it's hard not to favour them at the moment. Therefore, I predict an away win, although the match will be very tough.

Arsenal have shown an extraordinarily high standard of play this season. They also know how to fight hard, just as they did against Sunderland last week; they can also change the tempo of the game when needed. So far, this team has demonstrated almost every quality, and I'm confident that momentum will continue.

Prediction: Arsenal win

Newcastle United vs. Hull City

This match is crucial for Newcastle United. Hull City have been performing very well this season, remaining unbeaten so far—a situation nobody predicted before the season started. But I think their unbeaten record may come to an end on Saturday. I favour Newcastle United to win at home, but they must return to their best form and absolutely cannot repeat their poor display against Leeds United on Monday.

Hull City are clearly one of the biggest surprises in the Premier League this season, performing well in every aspect. Last week, they scored two goals against Chelsea and had good chances to win, yet still earned valuable points; it would have been perfect if they'd taken three. The team performs well across every line.

Newcastle United must improve in every area. Monday night's performance was well below standard, nothing like the team we usually see, and they were completely overrun by their opponents. The way Leeds United treated Newcastle United is exactly how Newcastle United used to treat other teams a few years ago, and it's unacceptable if this happens repeatedly. They must make changes on Saturday, and I'm confident they can do so. I predict Newcastle United to win at home.

Prediction: Newcastle United win

Nottingham Forest vs. Coventry

I don't rate Coventry highly. They performed very poorly against Brighton last week. Even with a red card during the match, the team's overall performance was still below standard. This weekend, I only favour Nottingham Forest to win at home.

Although Lampard's Coventry had a poor start to the season, their current position isn't under immediate threat. I believe that, thanks to last season's achievements, everyone at the club understands the team's position and the difficulty of competing in the Premier League. Add to that Ipswich and Hull City continuing to pick up points, this only increases the pressure on Coventry to avoid relegation. The club will continue to back Lampard, which is a sensible approach.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest win

Bournemouth vs. Liverpool

Iraola will return to his former managerial home, where he led Bournemouth to an impressive season last year. I watched Bournemouth play against Newcastle United a few weeks ago, and they played well, only running out of steam in the final 20 minutes. I favour the home team to win. Liverpool's defence hasn't convinced me, and I appreciate Bournemouth's proactive pressing style. I think they will employ this approach against Liverpool, so I predict Bournemouth to win at home.

I still think Liverpool's defence is unconvincing. They drew 0-0 at home last week with poor defensive play. Although they won 3-0 on Tuesday, their defence remains full of gaps, and the problem isn't just the back four; midfield protection of the defence is also an issue.

Barcola started against Fulham last week and delivered an impressive performance. He played 20 minutes against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, and if he's in good physical condition, I expect him to start again this weekend. There's no doubt he's very talented, but to become a truly elite player, he needs to improve his goal-scoring efficiency. However, in terms of entertainment value and captivating the audience, he's more than capable.

Prediction: Bournemouth win

Manchester City vs. Sunderland

I predict Manchester City to win at home. Sunderland have their first European match in club history midweek, which will drain a lot of their energy. Even with one player short last week, Manchester City showed remarkable strength in their away performance at Old Trafford. Against Sunderland, Manchester City's superiority is clear.

Regarding last week's match, Foden's actions were very reckless. Although the red card decision was correct in my view, I also believe Bruno Fernandes should have received a red card. He shouldn't have gotten away with it just because his kick was softer; he also made a retaliatory kicking motion. If one player should be sent off, then both should be. I very much dislike Bruno Fernandes' reaction; he indirectly contributed to Foden receiving the red card. But Foden himself knows he shouldn't have done that.

Starting the new season with a red card in the Manchester derby is very unfortunate for Foden, and he must be extremely frustrated. What's worse is that the manager clearly trusted him enough to start him in such an important match, and missing out will only make him feel worse.

Enzo was absolutely crucial in that goal last week; he's an exceptional player, top of his game, and very few players possess his ability. Without genuine talent, he wouldn't have attracted offers from top clubs. His transfer fee exceeded 100 million, which proves his calibre, and he truly deserves it.

Prediction: Manchester City win

Leeds United vs. Crystal Palace

Leeds United's performances have impressed me. I initially thought they could finish in the upper half of the league this season, and I still hold that view. Their midweek victory over Newcastle United was outstanding. Therefore, I predict Leeds United to win at home.

Besides Harry Kane, who has already secured his place in the England squad, if Calvert-Lewin can consistently maintain good form, Tuchel will find it hard to ignore him. When in form, he poses a serious threat to opposing defences. I wouldn't be surprised if he's called up to the England squad, especially considering Ollie Watkins has moved to Saudi Arabia.

Prediction: Leeds United win

Fulham vs. Manchester United

Fulham drew away at Liverpool under pressure. Overall, Fulham's performance under Arvela this season has been disappointing. This match is difficult to predict. I favour the away team to win; I'm confident Manchester United's inherent strength is superior to Fulham's.

Prediction: Manchester United win
