What Sky Sport pundit said on Chelsea that will be music to the ears of Manchester United

According to  Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson, Chelsea have opened the door to Manchester United in the race to finish in the top four this season after losing at home against Leicester City. "The defeat to Leicester was a shocking result for Chelsea," he said. "I was at the game when they drew with Everton and before that match, they were title contenders. Now they are fighting for the top four. That loss has also now opened the door to Man Utd, believe it or not." However, he has backed Maurizio Sarri's men to bounce back from the defeat at Stamford Bridge as they travel to face Watford tomorrow (Boxing Day). "Watford will be a hard game, they are physical and decent and they had an unbelievable result the other day winning at West Ham, it was a great win," he said. "But you just do not know what you are going to get with Watford - one minute they are brave and fit, and the next they are getting beat 4-0 at home by Bournemouth. But I am just going to go with Chelsea here."
