Arsenal icon Paul Merson has revised his prediction for the upcoming Premier League clash between the Gunners and Liverpool.
Initially forecasting a victory for his former club, Arsenal, Merson’s prediction shifted after witnessing Liverpool’s dominant 4-1 triumph over Chelsea on Wednesday. The Reds exhibited a formidable performance, creating numerous scoring opportunities that left the Stamford Bridge hosts in a challenging position.
Impressed by Liverpool’s stellar display, Merson now finds it difficult to envision Arsenal defeating the Reds at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon. In an interview with Sportskeeda, he emphasized the critical nature of the game for Arsenal, stating that a loss would effectively eliminate them from the Premier League title race. Merson acknowledged that a draw wouldn’t suffice either and stressed the imperative for Arsenal to go all out for the win.
