Premier League: Alan Shearer predicts 'tight' title race

Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer expects champions Chelsea to improve on last season, but predicts a "tight" race for the title in the new campaign.

Jose Mourinho's Blues finished eight points ahead of second-placed Manchester City last season, with Arsenal third and Manchester United fourth.

But Shearer says the Gunners need to sign a striker, United still have "work to do", and believes City's new £49m signing Raheem Sterling is not worth the amount of money he cost.

Gary Lineker and Match of the Day return to BBC One on Saturday 8 August, marking the start of the new Premier League season.
