Paul Merson has shared his thoughts on Chelsea's upcoming clash with Man United on Thursday evening.
The former Arsenal man believes that the fixture is no longer a 'big one' and Chelsea should get the win over United.
“It’s very difficult to predict this game," wrote Merson. "It’s not even a big game, is it? This used to be a mouthwatering fixture.
"Now, one of these teams got ripped to shreds by Brentford, and the other wasn’t able to dominate a ten-man Burnley side,” Merson told Sportskeeda.
“This is a manager’s game, if I’m being honest. Neither team would want to lose this football match. If Ten Hag loses this game and suffers another defeat against Liverpool next week, he’ll be under massive pressure.
“Chelsea have the home advantage, but they’re not really dominant. It’ll be a big worry if they don’t beat Man United, because Chelsea fans will remember what Brentford did to United. This won’t be an easy encounter, but Chelsea should be able to win this game.
“Merson's prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Manchester United.”
