Another packed weekend of Premier League action is here with key battles in the title race and the relegation battle on the agenda.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have the chance to move six points clear at the summit when they take on Fulham on Saturday evening. <\/p>\n

Manchester City, who were in FA Cup semi-final action last week, do not play until Monday when they face a very tricky test on the road away to Everton.<\/p>\n

With Nottingham Forest pulling clear, West Ham United and Tottenham are scrapping for their lives. Both won last time out with the Hammers away to Brentford this weekend with Spurs at Aston Villa. <\/p>\n

Manchester United can confirm their place in next season\u2019s Champions League when they host Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday. <\/p>\n

As ever, England legend and\u00a0Betfair\u00a0ambassador Alan Shearer has revealed his Premier League predictions to\u00a0Metro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Leeds vs Burnley<\/h2>\n

I think Leeds will stay up and beat Burnley on Friday. I think all of those teams, particularly Leeds, seem as if they\u2019ve got a bit of momentum and found form at the right time. I think it\u2019s been there for a couple of weeks now.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"Manchester\t<\/div>

I don\u2019t think Leeds will go down, and I think if they win this weekend, which I expect them to, then that\u2019ll be enough for them, and they can all relax. Not have a party, but they can all relax.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Leeds win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brentford vs West Ham<\/h2>\n

West Ham are clearly going in the right direction and clearly not giving up until right at the end. I think they\u2019ve scored more last-minute winners than I can remember. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s still the right attitude in that football club, but it\u2019ll be another tough weekend for them coming up. I think with the form and with the results that Brentford are getting where they are being tough to beat without winning games, it wouldn\u2019t surprise me again if that was another draw.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n

Newcastle vs Brighton<\/h2>\n

Somehow Newcastle need to stop the rot. I dread to think the reaction if they get beaten again this weekend.<\/p>\n

They have to somehow do something, find a way to get three points this weekend. By all accounts, the Saudis are in Newcastle this week, so whether they\u2019re going to be at the game or not, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m going to the game myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I think the vast majority of Newcastle fans are still supporting Eddie, and I agree with that but you have to get a win from somewhere, you can\u2019t keep on doing what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"Arsenal\t<\/div>

I think with Bruno back and after that performance last weekend, I think they\u2019ll have enough to beat Brighton this weekend.<\/p>\n

Brighton\u2019s potential situation is amazing. With the form they\u2019re in, full of belief, and they\u2019ve got some really talented players. They\u2019ve found their form over the last few weeks, and they\u2019ll be really tough opposition but coming up to Newcastle, it should be difficult.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have no confidence in what I\u2019m seeing, by the way, I think my prediction is more from the heart than it is from the head.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Newcastle win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wolves vs Sunderland<\/h2>\n

I watched the Sunderland game last week and it was unbelievable. Nottingham Forest were superb. Some of the performances from their players, especially Morgan Gibbs-White who was brilliant again.<\/p>\n

Wolves are done and have been for a long time. I thought they had picked up a little bit, but they\u2019ve gone back to what we saw in the early part of the season. I\u2019ll go for Sunderland to get back to winning ways.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Sunderland win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arsenal vs Fulham<\/h2>\n

This is a key game for me. You can\u2019t state the importance of it for Arsenal because I do believe if they win this weekend, then I think they\u2019ll take the title. I think because of that pressure and the mentality, it will be tough for Man City to come back from.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"Arsenal\t<\/div>
A win will send Arsenal six points clear (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I know City have got the squad, but I just think six points at this stage is a big, big ask. I think it\u2019s a crucial time for Arsenal to try and turn the screw a little bit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll go for a home win.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Arsenal win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace<\/h2>\n

I think Bournemouth will win. I think with what\u2019s happening at Crystal Palace they\u2019re leaving two or three big hitters on the bench and I think Glasner will do the same in between the European games. So, I\u2019ll go for a home win.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Bournemouth win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United vs Liverpool<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not the Liverpool or Man United we know at all from how they have played this season. I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be a classic. I think because of where both teams are mentally and physically, and also in terms of where they are in the league.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think a draw would be a bad result for both of them.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"Chelsea\t<\/div>

Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur<\/h2>\n

Spurs have to somehow find a way to go again and win the game. Aston Villa were in European actio on Thursday and had a really tough game but Spurs have injuries to Xavi Simons, and it looks as if Solanke is out so I\u2019m going to go for an Aston Villa home win taking all things into account.<\/p>\n

The injuries are to two key players. I mean, Simons scored a wonderful goal a couple of weeks ago. It\u2019s horrible to see he\u2019s injured his ACL and I have huge sympathy for him. Spurs haven\u2019t exactly been flying and sticking in goals left, right, and centre, but nevertheless, it\u2019s still a blow for Spurs.<\/p>\n

I think Villa will have too much for them on Sunday especially at home.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Aston Villa win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest<\/h2>\n

Chelsea are in the FA Cup Final after beating Leeds last week, in a game they had to win and they did so under Calum McFarlane, but I still have big question marks over them. I don\u2019t see Forest going there and giving up easily, so again, I think it could be another draw.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"Chelsea\t<\/div>

Everton vs Manchester City<\/h2>\n

Man City have to win here. You can\u2019t make an error, you can\u2019t make a mistake at this stage of the season, and I do think with the way they can sort of change it around, like they changed it in the semi-final of the FA Cup last week, I would be surprised at anything other than Man City getting three points at the Hill Dickinson on Monday.<\/p>\n

Prediction \u2013 Manchester City win<\/strong><\/p>\n
