After the international break, the Premier League will resume this weekend. Among the fixtures, Arsenal will take on Fulham, while Liverpool will face Manchester United. Ahead of the games, Paul Merson shared his views on this week’s Premier League matches in an interview with Camel Live.
Paul Merson said, “For Arsenal, games like this are crucial in their title challenge, but I’ve seen them slip up too many times in such matches. If Arsenal take all three points against Fulham, they will send a strong signal to their rivals—that they have learned from their past mistakes. Last season, Arsenal finished second behind Liverpool, having lost to West Ham United, Fulham, and Newcastle United in turn.”
“If Arsenal win on Saturday, it means they have beaten these three teams this season, and the 9 points they dropped against them last season have now all been reclaimed! To be honest, I think as long as Arsenal win this game, they can easily secure the league title!”
“Arsenal have an incredible squad with terrifying depth. In every position on the pitch, Arsenal have two outstanding players—this kind of Arsenal looks unstoppable.”
“As long as Arsenal maintain their current form, no one can catch up with them! If they hadn’t lost to Liverpool earlier, we would probably have been thinking: ‘Can anyone really beat them this season?’”
“Arsenal had the toughest opening schedule this season, but they still sit firmly at the top of the league! I expect them to continue their winning streak starting from this game, beating Fulham easily with a 2-0 scoreline.”
“If Liverpool suffer three consecutive defeats in the league (losing to Manchester United in this game would make it three in a row), then this season’s title race may end early! I’m not exaggerating when I say that.”
"I know there are still many games left this season, but Arsenal’s current form seems unbeatable. Mikel Arteta’s team is clearly determined to completely shake off their past struggles, go all the way this season, and win the title successfully. Moreover, the longer they stay ahead of Liverpool in the standings, the more confident they will be in achieving their title goal."
