Paul Merson, a football expert, confidently predicted the winner of the English Premier League this season right after last night's match without fear of being proven wrong.
Paul Merson, a former England midfielder turned football analyst, expressed confidence that the 2025-26 English Premier League title belongs to the "Gunners" Arsenal after their 3-0 victory over Fulham at Emirates Stadium last night.
Two goals from Victor Yokeres plus one from Bukayo Saka helped Arsenal maintain their top position, leading Manchester City by 6 points, although City has two games in hand. Nevertheless, Merson believes Arsenal will definitely win the championship.
"I said last week that if Arsenal leads Manchester City by 6 points, regardless of whether they have played one or two more games, they will win the league. I'm sorry, but there's no way City can catch up."
"You might say they have more games in hand, but Arsenal's points are higher. I've been in this situation before. Believe me, when they play Everton on Monday, their confidence will disappear."
"City will need a strong mental fortitude not to drop points in the few remaining league games, coupled with a tight schedule in the coming weeks. I really worry about them."
"Looking at Arsenal today, you would expect them to comfortably beat West Ham at London Stadium next week, and they might extend their lead further when hosting Burnley at Emirates Stadium the following week."
"I'm sorry to say this, but the league title is already Arsenal's."
