EPL: Alan Shearer predict Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal Boxing Day fixtures

Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer, has predicted the games that will be played over the Christmas period on Boxing Day and the day after.

Liverpool are looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League.

Second-placed Chelsea take on Fulham and this season’s surprise package Nottingham Forest host struggling Tottenham.

Struggling Manchester United are away to Wolves while Arsenal host relegation-battlers Ipswich Town.

Shearer told BetFair: “Chelsea v Fulham – A London derby. Fulham were pretty weak in forward positions against Southampton and Chelsea didn’t get the result they wanted against Everton, but they’re back at home, so I’m going to go for a Chelsea win in this one. Prediction: Chelsea win

“Wolves v Man Utd – Man United are really poor all over the pitch at this moment in time and will find this tricky. I’m going to go for a draw. Prediction: Draw

“Liverpool v Leicester – Liverpool may smell blood here and they may get a few. Prediction: Liverpool win

“Arsenal v Ipswich – Ipswich were awful against Newcastle, and they made them look poor. It looks as though Arsenal are going to be without Saka for period of time, which is a blow for them, having said that they should have enough to beat Ipswich. Prediction: Arsenal win.”
