EPL: Paul Merson predicts Everton vs Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, other games
Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has predicted some of the Premier League match-day 15 fixtures.
West Ham United will host Chelsea at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Manchester United will tackle Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Sunday, while Wolves will host Liverpool at Molineux on Saturday evening.
Everton will host Arsenal at Goodison Park on Monday night.
Providing his predictions, Merson told Sportskeeda: “Chelsea got lucky against Watford this week and haven’t been at their best this week. I’d play Romelu Lukaku in this match – West Ham’s biggest threat comes from set plays and Chelsea could use a player of Lukaku’s build. Chelsea are not playing particularly well at the moment and this game could turn out to be a draw. West Ham United 1-1 Chelsea.”
Commenting on the Wolves vs Liverpool game, Merson said, “Wolves have been up there in the Premier League this season but they don’t score goals.
“Liverpool are unstoppable at the moment, and they will score goals. If Liverpool score twice, can Wolves keep up with them? They have Mohamed Salah to contend with, and I think he’s currently the best player in the world. Wolves have been impressive, but I can’t look past a comfortable Liverpool victory here. Wolves 0-3 Liverpool.”
Commenting on the Manchester United vs Arsenal game, Merson said, “I’m sure Ralf Rangnick will also give Sancho a fair chance. He’s seen enough of Sancho in German football and United have paid a lot of money for him, so I’m hoping it pays off.
“United fans will turn up expecting their team to win this game, but Palace do have the players to hurt them. They’re a dangerous team, and I wouldn’t be too surprised if they took something away from this Premier League game. Manchester United 2-2 Crystal Palace.”
On the Everton vs Arsenal game, Merson said, “Arsenal were unlucky the other day, and I thought they missed too many chances against United. They need to come back and win this game – they’ve been beating the teams they should be beating this season, and I think they’ll be able to turn the screws on Everton. Everton 1-2 Arsenal.” Dailypost
