Alan Shearer predicts the results of the 16th round of the 2025/26 Premier League

Former footballer Alan Shearer shared his predictions for the 16th round of the 2025/26 Premier League. Among the teams he forecasted, Man City is considered unlikely to secure 3 points in this round.

Arsenal’s defeat to Aston Villa has intensified the title race Premier League making it more thrilling, with the gap between them and Man City now just two points. Aston Villa stands third, only 3 points behind the Gunners. In this round, Arsenal will host bottom-placed Wolves at home, while Man City will visit Crystal Palace.

Regarding these two matches, Alan Shearer said: “Wolves show no signs of improvement even after changing their coach and personnel. They have only 2 points in the league. Wolves are almost certain to become the worst team in Premier League history Premier League. I don’t see any positive signs from them this season. Despite changes, the club hasn’t progressed. Arsenal needs a win to regain confidence and belief. I think they won’t face much difficulty securing 3 points against Wolves.

About the match between Palace and Man City? Oliver Glasner is doing a great job at Crystal Palace. They have competed in European tournaments, just like Man City, so predicting the outcome is tough. This will be a challenging and unpredictable game. Anyone who has faced Crystal Palace this season knows it will be a tough match. I predict thegame will end in a draw because I believe Palace will fight hard, and I like their style of play.”

Chelsea is another team Alan Shearer is concerned about due to their inconsistency. In this round, Chelsea will host Everton at Stamford Bridge, while Liverpool will face Brighton at home. Nottingham will play Tottenham, and MU will meet Bournemouth in the latest match of the round. Speaking about these matches, Alan Shearer’s predictions for the 16th round of the Premier League are as follows: “David Moyes has helped Everton play a simple but effective style of football. Currently, Chelsea is under pressure, making this match hard to predict. I think Everton will earn points, so I pick a draw. For Liverpool, they will struggle against Brighton. They just won against Inter Milan. I believe Liverpool will maintain their good form after midweek and expect them to take 3 points.

Nottingham vs Tottenham is another hard-to-predict match. It’s an exciting and unpredictable fixture. The positive impact since Sean Dyche arrived seems to have stalled a bit, but I think they can regain form and I expect them to beat Tottenham. As for MU, I believe they have enough strength to overcome Bournemouth. MU is in good shape and worth watching. The match will be tough but at Old Trafford, I think they can secure their second consecutive win.”
