Arsenal icon Paul Merson has revealed his Premier League Matchday 10 predictions, backing his former club to maintain their impressive form and strengthen their title challenge. The upcoming weekend features key clashes including Tottenham hosting Chelsea and Liverpool facing Aston Villa.
Merson’s Match Predictions
The former Gunners midfielder forecasts:

- Nottingham Forest 1-1 Manchester United
- Burnley 0-2 Arsenal
- Brighton 2-0 Leeds United
- Fulham 2-0 Wolves
- Tottenham 1-2 Chelsea
- Liverpool 1-1 Aston Villa

Title Race Outlook
Merson believes Arsenal could seal the Premier League title sooner than expected. He stated: “If Arsenal get four points from games against Manchester City and Newcastle, they win the league. Arsenal did it and I stand by that.”
“The title race might conclude in the next two weeks,” Merson added. “Arsenal face Burnley and Sunderland while Liverpool play Aston Villa and Manchester City. If City and Liverpool split points in Gameweek 11, Arsenal could win comfortably.”
Mikel Arteta’s side currently lead the table by four points. They’ve conceded just three goals in 14 matches across all competitions this season.
