Paul Merson predicts this weekend’s final Premier League matches – 10th May

We continue our look at what Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has predicted…

LEICESTER v CHELSEA

The score Paul Merson has predicted for this game is: 2-2

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “I expect Chelsea to get through against Frankfurt, they’re a far better team. But they’ve got to win this game, you want to be finishing third. They’ve got to beat Leicester, it’s quite a big game for Chelsea to finish third, but it’s a hard game and I think Leicester will get something with how they’ve been playing.”

 

TOTTENHAM v EVERTON

The score Paul Merson has predicted for this game is: 2-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “You’re playing against a good Everton team here, who have turned a corner but they were getting beaten at Newcastle and Fulham a few weeks ago. The players probably won’t be thinking of this game but you want to get third. I think Tottenham will sneak it, but Everton aren’t as good on the road as they have been at home so I think Spurs will sneak it.”

 

MAN UTD v CARDIFF

The score Paul Merson has predicted for this game is: 3-0

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “I had them to beat Huddersfield 4-0, and probably Cardiff by the same scoreline. If they’d won against Huddersfield you’d have half fancied them to get into the Champions League because after midweek you’d not be sure about Tottenham. But now they’ll be going out without fear and play, but United need a big win, put on a show, and get people going home thinking ‘next season we’ve got a chance’.”

 

SOUTHAMPTON v HUDDERSFIELD

The score Paul Merson has predicted for this game is: 4-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “When you’re playing at home, you want to finish the season well with the feel-good factor. If they win this game, people will forget where they were in January.”

 

WATFORD v WEST HAM

The score Paul Merson has predicted for this game is: 1-3

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Watford must have an eye on the FA Cup final. You don’t play in it too often; years ago it was the ultimate, now it’s down the pecking order but that won’t be the case for Watford next week or Man City if they can do the English treble.

“Troy Deeney will have to play because he needs to get his match fitness back, and you can’t see anyone lying down with him in the team. But I think there’ll be some changes ahead of the cup final, and I think that’ll take it from a draw to a West Ham win. They’ve picked some form too.”
