Liverpool's form throughout the second half of 2025 has been noticeably poorer than the displays which helped secure the Premier League title last season. The Reds were comfortably beaten by would-be title rivals Manchester City last weekend and despite a recent Champions League triumph over Real Madrid, Arne Slot's side have largely been out-of-sorts since spending heavily in the summer transfer window.

Shearer's move to Blackburn was a pivotal moment in the Premier League's inaugural season, backed by the ambition of their new owner Jack Walker. After an injury-hit first campaign where he scored 16 goals, Shearer exploded in the 1993-94 season with 31 goals from 40 games. The following season, he formed a formidable strike partnership with Chris Sutton and his 34 goals were crucial to Blackburn's title win, the only major honour of his career.

Alan Shearer stated it would take a very brave person to say Chelsea will not be involved in the title hunt next year due to their achievements this season.
