Paul Merson Predicts The Result As Arsenal vs Leicester clash
Paul Merson, a former Arsenal player, anticipates an exciting game when his old team faces Leicester this weekend. Arsenal has been struggling defensively lately, and Merson believes this trend will continue during the match at King Power Stadium.
However, he still thinks that Mikel Arteta’s team will win and earn three points.
“Arsenal are the team to watch right now. Arteta’s side seem to get a little nervous on occasion and they’re a bit caught in between wanting to be defensively solid and going all-out in attack.”
“They should ideally score the first goal and if they do that, they’ll play their best football for the rest of the game.
“But they haven’t been doing that much in recent games and that’s what has led to them being shaky at the back because the nerves start to show. I expect Arsenal to come out on top in an entertaining game.”
According to Merson’s prediction, Arsenal will win 3-2, which would be a satisfactory result for the fans, but the game may not be easy to watch.
Arsenal’s defense has not been solid since the North London derby last month, conceding ten goals in the last six matches. Although Leicester did not score in their last game, they had opportunities to do so against Manchester United.
Therefore, they are likely to pose a threat to Arsenal. Despite this, Merson believes that Arsenal will outscore Leicester, and given the recent form of both teams, it could turn out to be an exciting game with both sides attacking each other’s goal.
