“You cannot underestimate them” – Paul Merson predicts Chelsea vs Everton this weekend | OneFootball

Pundit Paul Merson has put his predictions out for the coming weekend and he has called Everton’s away game at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues came from a goal down to score two very late goals to win the game 2-1 against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon in what was a very dramatic game of ups and downs. But for 80 minutes, it was a lot of downs for Chelsea and the woes were continuing. Thankfully, they managed to get two late goals from individual brilliance to win the game.

Still, manager Enzo Maresca did not celebrate the Chelsea win over with the away fans like all the players did at the end of the game, which was very odd. But he has explained his reasoning for this in the post match press conference, although it wont wash.

The fans were furious throughout most of the game though and certainly let the manager and the players know this at half time and throughout the game. Pedro Neto responded to the fan anger in his post-match comments after the game on Sunday.

And now The Blues face Everton at home in our next Premier League game this Saturday lunch time and another win is a must for Champions League qualification.

Merson makes his predictions

Predicting a victory for Chelsea, he told Sportskeeda: “It’s a shock to me that he [Cole Palmer] has gone so long without a goal.

“Top players always find a way though and he must do it now. This will be a difficult game for Chelsea because Everton are a tough team to beat. You cannot underestimate them. I’m still going for a narrow win for Chelsea here.”
