Merson Alters Arsenal-Liverpool Prediction Following ‘Unbelievable’ Display
Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta meet again on Sunday, and the anticipation for the Arsenal-Liverpool clash has reached new heights following Liverpool’s demolition of Chelsea. Paul Merson, a former Arsenal icon, was confident in his prediction that the Gunners would come out on top, but after witnessing Liverpool’s incredible performance, he has changed his tune.
Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Chelsea showcased their dominance on the field, with a plethora of chances that could have resulted in an even more embarrassing defeat for Mauricio Pochettino’s side. In fact, Darwin Nunez hit the woodwork four times, setting a Premier League record for the most times a single player has done so in one contest.
The standout player of the match was young right-back Conor Bradley, who scored his first Premier League goal. Merson was particularly impressed with Bradley’s performance and even mentioned that he is keeping Trent Alexander-Arnold out of the team. The former Arsenal player couldn’t speak highly enough of Bradley and described him as a pleasure to watch.
Merson now believes that Arsenal will have a tough time beating Liverpool at the Emirates on Sunday. He stated that a draw wouldn’t be ideal for the Gunners, but he doesn’t think Liverpool would lose too much sleep over it. The Reds’ recent form, with their forwards scoring goals and Joe Gomez keeping Noni Madueke in his pocket, has been exceptional.
With games coming thick and fast for Liverpool, it remains to be seen if Bradley will retain his place in the team against Arsenal. Merson wonders if Klopp will decide to keep him in the firing line or give him a break. Only time will tell.
In conclusion, Merson’s prediction for the Arsenal-Liverpool clash has changed significantly after witnessing Liverpool’s impressive display against Chelsea. He now predicts a 2-2 draw between the two teams. The clash between these two top sides promises to be an exciting affair, and fans eagerly await the outcome.
