EPL: Paul Merson makes fresh title prediction

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has made a fresh Premier League title prediction.

Liverpool are currently eight points ahead of second position Arsenal in the Premier League table.

The Gunners, however, have a game in hand as they have played 25 matches so far.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Premier League fixtures, Merson said if Liverpool beat Manchester City on Sunday at Etihad, they would eventually become the Premier League champions.

According to him, the victory would end Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes, adding that the Reds will also beat Newcastle and Southampton.

“I think Liverpool will rip City apart here. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but that’s just what I feel. City have no chance. If Liverpool fail to win, they will be extremely disappointed,” Merson told Sportskeed.

“City looked extremely slow against Real Madrid and considering how Liverpool play, the Reds will be too quick for Pep Guardiola’s men.

“A win for Liverpool here would be the end of Arsenal’s title hopes. Once they beat City, I expect Liverpool to win against Newcastle and Southampton.

“Now that’s 13 points out of a possible 15 against arguably three of the top six teams in the league. That is champion mentality in my opinion.”
