Following the 1-1 draw between Manchester City and Liverpool, Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League standings with a 1-0 victory over Brentford. Arsenal leads the Premier League by one point over Manchester City and two points over Liverpool.
After their Champions League exploits in midweek, when they beat Lens 6-0 to book a spot in the round of 16, Arsenal now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they are set to face Wolves this afternoon at the Emirates in a game in which they can maintain their top-of-the-table position.
Paul Merson made his Premier League predictions for Match Day 14 on Sportskeeda ahead of the game. According to his predictions, there would be no change at the top of the table. Merson says Manchester City will crush Spurs, who are dealing with injuries, 4-0, and Liverpool will dominate Fulham and win 3-0.
As for Arsenal, he believes Wolves are a difficult opponent, but that Arsenal should win the game somehow. He believes Rice should start this game as No. 6, and that Jorginho should be overlooked as the £105 million summer transfer might determine the game.
Merson says the score will be 3-1 in favor of Arsenal although he claims: “Arsenal have done well so far this season, but they are also very open from time to time, and that’s a bit worrying. Wolves should be a lot higher up the Premier League table if it weren’t for bad VAR decisions. If I was an Arsenal fan, I’d be happy to just win this difficult game somehow and get it out of the way.
“Gary O’Neil’s side is not easy to play against. But Arsenal have enough quality to get the better of them. Declan Rice has been absolutely brilliant for Arsenal. He was magnificent against Lens in midweek. He has to continue to play down the center. If he plays on the sides with Jorginho in the center, the Gunners are just not the same side. He will be key here again. This will be a hard-fought game, but I’m going to go with Arsenal here.”
Do you agree with these predictions?

Paul Merson has been bullish in his weekend predictions but he gets very interesting on who will decide Arsenal victory.
I will be honest in saying an extra days rest for us would have been helpful. I fear Wolves a bit anD see clearly that their current point tally is down to monstrously unfair VAR errors. As many on TV and radio have also pointed out, because it is TRUE.
I will be relieved if we get a one goal margin victory today, but confess to some trepidation because of the quick turnaround in games.
Yes, I am in total agreement with the Arsenal legend Paul Merson’s opinon. In which he has expressed that Arsenal will remain on top of the Epl table after the conclusion of the proceedings in the Premier League this weekend.
This is so because I din’t see any reason nor foreseen one that will change the current leadership positions status quo at the top of the League this weekend. In which Arsenal is in control topping it.
And I thinly if the Gunners will turn up for their today’s Wolves Epl home match. And would want more than Wolves Will want. Just as they the Gunners had wanted more than RC Lens did want it in our last Ucl match at home against them.
Then I will say with all the confidence that I have on Arsenal. That the Gunners will by the gun take down 5 hefty Wolves in the game. As against no any Gunner is taken down in the match by the Wolves at full-time of the match encounter.
Arsenal 5-0 Wolves.
