Paul Merson has shared his predictions for this weekend’s Premier League fixtures, with the ex-Arsenal striker tipping his former club to pick up a big win against Leicester
Paul Merson’s Premier League predictions in full: Newcastle 0-3 Manchester City; Chelsea 2-1 Brighton; Brentford 1-0 West Ham; Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace; Arsenal 3-0 Leicester; Nottingham Forest 2-2 Fulham; Wolves 1-3 Liverpool; Ipswich 0-2 Aston Villa; Manchester United 2-2 Tottenham; Southampton 0-3 Bournemouth
Merson is also backing his former club Arsenal to get back to pick up a “comfortable” 3-0 win over Leicester. However, he believes the Gunners’ title rivals Manchester City will beat Newcastle 3-0 at St James’ Park despite the fact that Rodri will be absent through injury.
“Manchester City will miss Rodri. He’s the player who knits everyone together,” Merson explained. “I don’t see his absence becoming an immediate problem for City in the next few fixtures. But certainly, over the course of 50 games this season, it will take a toll.
