Match predictions are a complete lottery, we all know that. But there is one person who seems to do better than most and I will always take notice of with predictions, and that is Paul Merson.
Especially when it comes to Chelsea because Paul watches Chelsea a lot being a Blues fan and also writing and reporting a lot on them with his job.
EXCL: Inside story of Chelsea player being dead set on joining Crystal Palace in the summer but Chelsea moved the goalposts…
So when Paul drops his Chelsea match predictions, I always like to tune in and see what he is saying.
For Chelsea fans this week though, it is not great news, and Paul is a bit concerned after Chelsea only just managed to beat Bournemouth last Saturday through a late Christopher Nkunku winner and a Robert Sanchez man of the match performance.
Merson predicts a draw
In his latest article for Sportskeeda, Merson wrote:
“I have the same thing to say about Chelsea every week, we just don’t know what we’re going to get with them.
“They beat Bournemouth 1-0 in the last game, but goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was the man of the match in my opinion. And if you’re Chelsea, that’s actually worrying. I think this game will end in a draw.
“I wont be surprised if Jadon Sancho starts against West Ham though. He played very well against Bournemouth and made the right decisions with the ball at the right times.
“It’s definitely a good start to life at Chelsea for him, but coming off the bench and making an impact is completely different to doing the same from the beginning of a game.”
