Alan Shearer on Man City v Chelsea Saturday clash

Coral ambassador Alan Shearer sat down with our very own Simon Clare to exclusively share his thoughts on the upcoming Manchester City v Chelsea clash on Saturday lunchtime.

The two clubs are separated by just a point, with the table-topping Blues holding slight advantage over third-placed City, so it is certainly set up to be an intriguing affair at the Etihad.

You can listen to Shearer’s thoughts on the match in the video below, but we’ve also picked out the best quotes from this latest interview…

“It’s a mouthwatering prospect”

“I can’t wait for it, it should be a fantastic game,” Shearer said. “[They are] two very good sides; two sides who play very differently, [with] different systems.

“Chelsea, who are flying at the moment, beat Tottenham last weekend after going 1-0 down – the first goal they’ve conceded in seven games,” the Newcastle United legend added. “But I’m going to be watching and be fascinated as to how that back three – or back five – cope with Aguero.

“This I think will be their biggest test, and [Aguero] will I’m pretty sure give them a hard time.”

Shearer reiterated: “It’s a game I’m really looking forward to; Man City are conceding goals. Of course with [Eden] Hazard and [Diego] Costa in fine form again this season, it’s a mouthwatering prospect.”
