“I must admit” – Paul Merson drops his Chelsea vs Everton prediction this weekend | OneFootball

Chelsea fan Paul Merson has dropped his Chelsea vs Everton predictions for the Premier League tie this weekend.

Merson, who is an Arsenal legend, is also a self-confessed Chelsea fan. And in terms of score predictions, he is one of those who I will always go to when I want to see what people are saying about the game, because he has a pretty decent track record of calling these games spot on.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea have THREE Premier League centre midfielders on the radar – two they would LOVE to sign!

We all know the drill right now, Enzo Maresca and Chelsea are in a bit of a slump after failing to win any of their last four games in all competitions. As a result, they have dropped to 5th in the Premier League, and 13th in the Champions League.

It’s safe to say that this game against Everton now on Saturday afternoon, has become a very big game for Maresca, the players, and everyone at Chelsea. They need to win, it has to be seen as a must win now.

Merson’s score prediction

Paul Merson worried about Chelsea on Sky Sports.

Writing for Sportskeeda, Merson says:

“Everton have looked good in recent weeks, apart from that shocking loss at home to Newcastle United. They went to Bournemouth and won quite comfortably – something Chelsea failed to do in their last league game. If Maresca wins this game, he can play his fringe players in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Cardiff City on Tuesday. But if he doesn’t, he will be forced to play his strongest team in that game.

“Moises Caicedo is unavailable for this match. I’m still going to back Chelsea for the win. But I must admit that I went with Chelsea mainly because I support them. This will be a tight game.

“Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Everton.”
