“Gary Neville backs Paul Merson’s daring take on Liverpool’s ‘unbelievable’ transformation”
“Gary Neville echoes Paul Merson’s bold verdict on ‘unbelievable’ Liverpool revelation”
Liverpool are set to receive their second guard of honour since clinching the Premier League title against Tottenham in April.
Last week, the Merseyside club were honoured as champions at Stamford Bridge, though the occasion was dampened by a disappointing 3-1 loss.
Now, it’s Mikel Arteta and his squad’s turn to salute the league leaders as they visit Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Despite last week’s setback, Paul Merson is predicting a much different result this time around.
Paul Merson tips Liverpool to triumph over Arsenal
Arsenal’s season has taken a dismal turn. From the highs of reaching the Champions League semi-finals to falling short against a dominant PSG, and from chasing Premier League glory to watching Arne Slot’s Liverpool seize the title, it has been a rollercoaster of disappointment.
To make matters worse, city rivals Tottenham might secure a European trophy and sneak into next season’s Champions League through the back door.
If Paul Merson’s prediction (2-1 to Liverpool) proves accurate, the Reds could deepen Arsenal’s woes this afternoon.
“Barring a penalty shootout win in 2020, Arsenal haven’t won at Anfield since 2012,” Merson told Sportskeeda.
“Thirteen years! That’s unbelievable. It looks like that streak will continue.”
Gary Neville and the Overlap pundits shared a similar sentiment. While Neville predicted a goalless draw, he, like others, found it hard to envision an Arsenal victory at Anfield.

Liverpool’s Drive to 90+ Points
With the Premier League title already clinched, Arne Slot’s Liverpool are setting their sights on crossing the 90-point threshold—a statement of dominance and intent for the future.
While the title is secure, anything less than maximum points from their final matches against Arsenal, Brighton, and Crystal Palace would feel like a missed opportunity to underline their supremacy.
