Merson reveals one game that will determine if Arsenal wins trophy this season

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has said the team’s trophy hopes will come down to one match this season.

The Gunners came into this campaign as favourites to win the Premier League title.

Mikel Arteta’s men have finished runners-up behind Manchester City in the last two years.

However, despite a strong start, Arsenal are trying to keep pace with league leaders Liverpool.

Arne Slot’s side have lost just one league fixture all season, and remain in contention in all four competitions.

Arsenal are only left in the Premier League and Champions League, after they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle United.

“They’ve got two [trophies left to win], one they could be out of by Wednesday night in my opinion,” Merson said on Sky Sports.

“If Liverpool wins at Everton, that’ll be nine points clear with 15 odd games left. They’d have to lose four of them which I think would be impossible. To me, it comes down to Wednesday.

“I did half-fancy them in the Champions League but I’ve just seen them get destroyed by Newcastle over two legs and – no disrespect – there’s a lot better teams than Newcastle in the Champions League knockout phase, so for me, they’re right up against it.”
