Paul Merson is no stranger to putting his neck on the chopping block with a bold prediction, and he's made another one this week, claiming that Liverpool will run out winners by at least three goals when they visit Arsenal next weekend.
Both sides have impressed so far, with Liverpool quietly getting results week after week and establishing themselves as title challengers without really getting out of first gear. Arsenal, meanwhile, have hit the ground running under Emery, winning ten consecutive matches, and sit fourth in the Premier League.
Despite this, however, Merson believes the gap between the sides is much more vast than the two point gap between them suggests.
