Merson named favourite EPL title winners

Former Arsenal star Paul Merson in a recent statement has tipped his former club to win the Premier League following their dramatic comeback victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.

Arsenal were able to restore their five-point lead over Manchester City with a 3-2 win over Bournemouth.

Bournemouth were leading with a 2-0 scoreline, thanks to goals from Phillip Billing and Marco Senesi before the Gunners made a comeback with goals from Thomas Partey, Ben White and Reiss Nelson.

When asked if he believes Arsenal’s name is on the Premier League trophy, Merson said: “I think they win the league, I really do.

“They just keep on going and going; they don’t know when they’re beaten. That’s four wins in a row now.

“They came back against Aston Villa too, I think they’ve done brilliantly and if they win their next three games, I don’t see how they don’t win the league.”
