The Premier League matchday 6 is set to light up England this weekend with exciting fixtures, and former Arsenal star Paul Merson has shared his predictions on how the games could unfold.

Action begins on Saturday lunchtime with Manchester United travelling to Brentford. According to Merson, the Bees may frustrate Ruben Amorim’s men, tipping a 1-1 draw.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will battle Brighton in what promises to be a tight contest. The ex-Arsenal man believes the Blues will edge it 2-1, while Manchester City are expected to comfortably see off Burnley at the Etihad with a 2-0 win.

Over at Selhurst Park, Liverpool face Crystal Palace in a tricky clash. Merson went bold here, predicting another 1-1 draw.

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Arsenal are all in action. The standout tie of the weekend comes on Sunday evening, as Arsenal travel to St. James’ Park to face Newcastle. Merson anticipates a cagey affair, calling it a 1-1 stalemate.

The round concludes on Monday night with Everton hosting West Ham at Goodison Park, where Merson expects the Toffees to secure a solid 2-0 win.
