‘That’s my scoreline! Paul Merson makes massive prediction for Chelsea vs Brentford clash
The Blues set to host struggling Brentford, and Thomas Tuchel will be targeting nothing less than a win, to bolster our grip on third place and also continue a silent push for the title just in case any one above slips up.
However, Paul Merson is backing Chelsea to win this tie with a comfortable 3-0 scoreline.
Paul Merson said in his prediction for Sportskeeda: “Brentford gotta pick their games between now and the end of the season. They are already safe from the drop in my opinion, but they still need a few more points to be absolutely sure they don’t get dragged into a relegation scrap in the coming weeks.”
“Christian Eriksen played and scored in both games for Denmark during the international break, but will he play this one? His future is an interesting talking point, as Brentford only gave him a short-term deal. If they stay up and offer him a contract, I think he’ll look to take it because in many ways, Eriksen will feel indebted to Brentford for taking a chance on him when there weren’t too many teams queuing up to take him when he left Inter Milan.
“I think Chelsea will win this game quite comfortably to cement third place in the Premier League.”
