Newcastle United skipper Alan Shearer has said that Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri is one of the best in the World. Chelsea will provide a tough opposition this weekend and ahead of the game, Shearer said:

"Who says Ranieri is on his way out? People I know within the game are not saying that.

"And so long as he keeps winning football matches - which is what he is doing - then why would he go?

"If Chelsea continue to produce the results on the field to back up the huge investments off it then I believe they have a genuine chance of the ultimate prize - the Premiership title.

"That is the first major target Roman has, he is ploughing all of his money into the club and all he wants in return is success.

"If they keep on performing the way they are, with that new consistency, then there is no reason why they will not win the title.

"Money doesn't guarantee success but it certainly helps a hell of a lot."
