Arsenal news: Paul Merson reveals exactly why Liverpool will hammer Gunners
LIVERPOOL will run riot against Arsenal this weekend, Paul Merson claims.
Liverpool's 'ridiculous' attack backed to beat Arsenal by pundit
The Gunners host the Reds on Saturday night in the Premier League (5:30pm kick off).
Liverpool are unbeaten in the league this season after 10 games, with Liverpool flying under Jurgen Klopp.
Arsenal have also impressed under Unai Emery, with the Gunners’ 11-game winning streak ending against Crystal Palace last weekend.
And Gunners hero Merson reckons Liverpool will hammer Arsenal on Saturday, claiming Emery’s back four won’t be able to handle the Reds.
I can't see anything but a Liverpool win
Merson told Sky Sports: “I can't see anything but a Liverpool win.
“I think this is the day Arsenal show some big cracks.
“I just think the defence is terrible, all over the place, and no different to what it was before.
“If Hector Bellerin is injured, you're talking about Granit Xhaka at left-back, a central midfield player, and Stephan Lichtsteiner at right-back, who has been a good player but is nearly 35 now.
“How many 35-year-old's are there in the Premier League?
“We saw Leicester rip Arsenal to shreds for 30 minutes; they scored, Harry Maguire missed a sitter, they had a stonewall penalty turned down.
“Leicester's front three aren't even in the same class as Liverpool's.
“I just cannot see how Arsenal will live with them.
“People will say: 'Oh Arsenal will score goals...' but Liverpool's defence has been superb.
“I watched Arsenal win 11 games on the trot, and they could have easily lost four of them, let alone drawn them. 1-3.”
A win for Liverpool could send them to the top of the Premier League table.
