Paul Merson has made his prediction for the ‘massive’ London derby clash between Chelsea and Arsenal this weekend. The Blues will welcome the Gunners to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, November 6 ahead of what is set to be a feisty affair.
Mikel Arteta will be looking to defend his side's place at the top of the Premier League as Erling Haaland spearheads a Manchester City title charge. Graham Potter, on the other hand, will be eager to build upon the west Londoners' win over Dinamo Zagreb midweek after Brighton humbled their former boss.
And, Merson believes that Raheem Sterling could have a big influence on the scoreline this weekend depending on whether he is used as a winger or a wing-back. The 27-year-old has featured in Chelsea's back-five recently and, against competent opposition, the risk hasn't paid off.
