Paul Merson delivers confident verdict on Arsenal v Man City result

Paul Merson is confident Arsenal’s home clash against Manchester City won’t finish in a goalless stalemate on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners will host Pep Guardiola’s side at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal look to inject life into their fading top-four challenge this season.

Arsenal have lost four of their last six games in the Premier League which has left Arsene Wenger’s side languishing in sixth place and six points adrift of the top four.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games as Guardiola’s men look to challenge Tottenham Hotspur for runners-up spot.

Former Arsenal midfielder Merson is confident that there will be plenty of goals between Arsenal and Manchester City in their Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.

“This is a huge game. I only know one thing for sure in this game, it won’t be 0-0. It’s as simple as that,” Merson told Sky Sports.
