Paul Merson makes bold title prediction ahead of Liverpool vs Man Utd…

Paul Merson has made a daring prediction regarding the title ahead of the Liverpool vs Man Utd match.

He confidently asserts that Arsenal could clinch the Premier League title if they secure a victory against Fulham or if Liverpool does not manage to defeat Manchester United.

After the international break, the Premier League is set to resume with Arsenal, the current leaders, visiting Craven Cottage on Saturday, followed by Liverpool’s clash with their long-time rivals at Anfield on Sunday.

The Gunners and the Reds are separated by just one point after seven matches, with Tottenham, Manchester City, and Chelsea closely trailing.

Despite this, Merson believes that this weekend could be pivotal in the title race, especially if his former team can conquer the Cottagers, who have historically posed challenges for them.

‘For Arsenal, these are the crucial matches that can determine the league outcome. I’ve witnessed them falter in similar situations far too often,’ the ex-Gunners player remarked to Sportskeeda.

‘Securing three points in this match will send a powerful signal to their competitors, demonstrating that they have learned from past errors.

Last season, Arsenal finished second to Liverpool, suffering defeats against West Ham, Fulham, and Newcastle.

‘Should Arsenal triumph this Saturday, they will have avenged all three of those losses this season, already amassing the nine points they missed out on last time! I genuinely believe that if Arsenal wins this match, they will dominate the league title!

‘The squad is remarkable, and the depth is extraordinary. Arsenal boasts two quality players for every position on the field. They appear unstoppable.

‘No one can catch them if they maintain this level of performance! Had they not lost to Liverpool, we would be questioning, “is there anyone who can actually defeat them this season?”.

‘Arsenal has faced the most challenging start to a football season and remains at the top of the league! I anticipate they will continue their momentum with a solid 2-0 victory over Fulham.’

However, Arsenal has struggled in their last two outings at Craven Cottage, with draws and losses against Marco Silva’s team hindering their title aspirations.

Regarding Liverpool, after an impressive start to the season, they faced three straight losses prior to the international break, revealing the weaknesses in Arne Slot’s squad.

They remain the favorites to overcome a struggling United, yet Merson already considers this match a ‘must-win’; failing to secure a victory could spell the end of their title aspirations.

‘If they do not win for a third consecutive league match, this title race might very well be finished! I’m not exaggerating when I say that,’ he remarked.

‘I understand there are many matches still to be played, but Arsenal appears to be unstoppable right now. Mikel Arteta’s squad seems resolute in their quest to erase past disappointments by going all the way this season.

The longer they maintain their lead over Liverpool, the more assured they will feel about accomplishing their goal.’
