Alan fancies Newcastle to stun Arsenal in Matchday 6 | OneFootball

Liverpool have a five point lead at the top of the Premier League table and the gap between the Reds and Arsenal could grow even further this weekend if Alan Shearer's predictions come true as our man fancies the Gunners to collect zero points when they travel to St James' Park.

Elsewhere the Premier League's record goalscorer fancies routine wins for Tottenham and Man City though he also fancies a few surprise results in Matchday 6.

The weekend commences with Brentford hosting Manchester United on Saturday lunchtime, and despite beating Chelsea last weekend Alan doesn't believe it makes United a good team and that they're still a work in progress. You can read Alan's exclusive thoughts on United and much more ahead of this weekend's action in his latest column here.

I'm still not convinced that all is well at Man United even though confidence should be sky high. Brentford will be tough for them, so I'll go for a draw.

Alan's Prediction: Draw

Chelsea v Brighton - Saturday 15:00

Chelsea need to bounce back and I think they will at home to Brighton. I know Brighton were 2-0 up against Spurs last weekend, but I'll go for a home win here.

Alan's Prediction: Chelsea Win

Crystal Palace v Liverpool - Saturday 15:00

Crystal Palace have been a bit of a bogey team for Liverpool in the past and I think they've got a good chance to have a really good season, even though they got rid of Eze. I'm going to go for a draw here.

Leeds v Bournemouth - Saturday 15:00

Leeds will be tough at home, but I've been impressed with Bournemouth. I know it wasn't a good game when they played Newcastle, but I'll go for an away win here.

Manchester City v Burnley - Saturday 15:00

Home win. I can't see anything other than there being one-way traffic here.

Nottingham Forest v Sunderland - Saturday 17:30, Live on Sky Sports

It's already a huge game for Ange Postecoglou here. I'll go for a home win. I think Nottingham Forest will beat Sunderland.

Tottenham v Wolves - Saturday 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

Home win. Wolves are having a shocking time and got stuffed by Leeds last week so I can't see anything other than a win for Tottenham.

Aston Villa v Fulham - Sunday 14:00, Live on Sky Sports

Tough one. You'd usually expect Aston Villa to win at home but with the manager calling them out at the weekend, it doesn't look as if everything's well. They look leggy already. I'll go for an away win here.

Newcastle v Arsenal - Sunday 16:30, Live on Sky Sports

SuHuge game for two sides that both drew at the weekend. I think with Newcastle at home, I'm going to go with Newcastle to beat Arsenal in a bad-tempered game.

My Newcastle v Arsenal combined XI:

Everton v West Ham - Monday 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

The way Everton are, they were really unlucky against Liverpool and with that home crowd here and the way West Ham are at the moment, I'll go for an Everton win.
