FA Cup: Alan Shearer predicts Man Utd vs Fulham, Man City fixtures
Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer, has predicted some of the FA Cup fifth-round ties set to be played this weekend.
Several big clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, have already been eliminated from the competition.
However, both Manchester United and Manchester City remain in contention for the trophy.
Other teams still in the mix include Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, and Bournemouth.
Speaking with BetFair, Shearer shared his predictions:
Man City vs Plymouth – “There is no chance of an upset here. Plymouth had their day in the sun against Liverpool, which was an unbelievably well-deserved result at home. City away will be a lot tougher for them. They’ve given us lots of headlines this season, but it’s not going any further than this weekend.” Prediction: Man City win
Newcastle vs Brighton – “Newcastle are at home and might just have enough, even with one eye on the Carabao Cup final. I think they’ll bounce back.” Prediction: Newcastle win
Man United vs Fulham – “I’m not impressed with Man United. They’re in a really tough situation at the moment, so I’m going to go for an away win.”
Prediction: Fulham win.
