Merson makes his prediction for the Premier League match between Leicester and Chelsea, which will start after the international break.
After Leicester City returned to the Premier League this season, facing Chelsea is a crucial test to show the home team’s readiness, as Chelsea look to secure a win to boost their confidence in their bid for a European place.
Paul Merson, a famous guru of Sky Sports, has analyzed the possibility of the results of the first match of the Premier League in Week 12 between Leicester City and Chelsea. He has given an interesting perspective via the website SportGida, saying that
“The only reason you think Leicester have a chance of winning is because we’re on an international break. Chelsea have players away on international duty and might be tired from the สมัคร ufabet travel. But I’d still go for Chelsea to win the game. They played well and I feel like it could be an easy win.”
“The game against Arsenal was quite close and showed that Chelsea are on the right track under Enzo Maresca. If it had been four years ago, the Blues would have lost the game like this after conceding the first goal, but in the end they took the point.”
“I would be shocked if Chelsea finished above Arsenal. Their players are still very young and I wonder if they can finish third this season. If they win the Europa Conference League and finish in the top four, that would be a successful season. It would also make them the first team to win all three European trophies.”
“Leicester are unlikely to cause Chelsea too many problems at home. I think the Blues will win easily.”
