Alan Shearer makes Fulham, Liverpool and Man Utd predictions as 'different gravy' claim made

A look at the predictions ahead of Sunday’s Premier League action, which includes Fulham.

More Premier League action awaits on Sunday after a busy Saturday schedule that didn’t pan out too well for the majority of London sides. Arsenal and Chelsea were both held to draws, while West Ham were hammered by Manchester City.

Elsewhere, Brentford produced a five star display to thrash strugglers Southampton and grab a much-needed win amid unrelenting injury issues. On Sunday, Fulham take on strugglers Ipswich Town and Liverpool face rivals Manchester United. Here we round up Alan Shearer’s predictions with the Metro.

Fulham vs Ipswich

“Ipswich are putting up a good fight right now and look the likeliest out of the three promoted teams to stay in the Premier League. They got a great result against Chelsea – I didn’t see that coming at all, but I don’t think that they’ll get anything out of Fulham. Prediction: Fulham win.”

Liverpool vs Man United

“Newcastle went to Old Trafford and for 30 minutes made Man United look like a youth team, they were really that poor. I can’t see United improving that much to get anything from this game and I’d be amazed if they did. I know it’s a huge fixture and it’s produced some great games over the years, but I can only see one winner in this game and it’s Liverpool.

“If United are as poor as they were in the opening half an hour against Newcastle, then you would be really worried for this one as a fan. They would have to improve massively, with the number of chances Liverpool create you would really fear for Man United in this one. Having said that, they sat deep and defended against Man City last month, winning that game by trying to hit them on the break. That’s the way they’ll try to play this game, but this Liverpool team I think are different gravy this season, so I wouldn’t imagine that will be too much of a problem for them.

“I can’t see any other outcome than a Liverpool victory and scoring a few goals in the process. Prediction: Liverpool win.”
