Merson: Chelsea cannot win the title

Sky Sports pundit predicts Everton fixture

Paul Merson has ruled Chelsea out in terms of their chances of winning the title, but has backed them to beat Everton this weekend.

The pundit and ex-Arsenal man forecasts a 2-0 win for the Blues at Stamford Bridge, but feels confident in saying it won’t be their season for winning the league.

Chelsea currently sit in fourth position, just one point off leaders Manchester City.

Merson explained: “They might just be a bit light to win the title, if Eden Hazard or Diego Costa got injured and were out for a while they’d struggle, but they look like top-four material now.

“Not a lot of teams could go and do what they did against Southampton, who are a decent football team but they didn’t give them a look in.

“Everton turned their slump around against West Ham but Chelsea will be too good here.”
