"Difference maker": Paul Merson states his prediction for Norwich City vs Brentford

Norwich City are set to face Brentford in a home match in the Premier League on Saturday (March 5th). The Canaries have 17  points currently standing in the last 20th place with a game in hand, while Thomas Frank's side are at 15th with 24 points. Ahead of the clash, pundit Paul Merson believes the Bees will succeed in capturing all the 3 points.

"I watched Brentford last weekend against Newcastle United and the game was over in 10 minutes after Josh Dasilva’s dismissal.   "I was doing the game for Sky and I wrote down ‘game over’ the minute he went off the pitch. Brentford can’t seem to win a game of football with 11 players on the pitch, how would they do so with 10?   "Christian Eriksen coming on was quite the sight, it was pleasing to watch him take to the field again.   "I think he has to start this game behind Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo - it will allow the away side to really go for it and I do think he could emerge as the difference maker.   "If Norwich City lose this, it’s curtains for them and that’s exactly what I think will happen." added Merson.   Paul Merson’s prediction: Norwich City 1-2 Brentford
