Paul Merson has predicted Arsenal will lose further ground on Liverpool in the Premier League title race this season.

Liverpool will now have to lose half their games, while Arsenal win all their remaining matches, for it to change and that is impossible.

If any of the three players get injured, Arsenal shouldn't even bother turning up for the Real Madrid game!”

Arsenal beat Fulham in midweek with Bukayo Saka netting the winner from the bench as he returned from a four-month layoff.

Merson thinks the decision whether to start the winger is one of the biggest pre-match dilemmas for Mikel Arteta as he returns to Goodison.

The former Gunner is predicting a 2-1 victory for Everton on Saturday but also thinks Liverpool will drop points at Fulham, with Merson believing that the lack of a natural right-back due to injuries could impact the would-be champions.

“If Conor Bradley was fit, he would've started at right-back,” he said

If [Mohamed] Salah is unable to track back and help out, Robinson can trouble Jones a lot.”

Merson is predicting a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage and, coupled with an Arsenal defeat, would leave Liverpool 13 points clear at the top of the table and needing just 10 points across the final seven matches to be crowned champions
