"Will back themselves": Paul Merson states his prediction for Everton v Arsenal

Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming Premier League match between Everton and Arsenal. The two clubs are set to face each other on Monday. The Toffees are currently 16th in the league table with 15 points. Meanwhile, the Gunners are 7th, 12 points behind the leaders, Manchester City. The two sides will be hoping to have a successful game, however, Merson backs Mikel Arteta's side to be the winners with a score of 1 - 2. "At the start of the Premier League season, the teams that we all thought would finish in the top four were Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United, in no particular order. Arsenal have lost to all these teams," the pundit said on Sportskeeda.  "The way Everton are playing at the moment, however, Arsenal will back themselves this weekend. I think Rafael Benitez has about 90 minutes left at Goodison Park. When I played in the Premier League, Everton was one of the hardest places to win a match. The place was three-quarters empty this week, and Everton fans are clearly not having any more of Benitez. "Arsenal were unlucky the other day, and I thought they missed too many chances against United. They need to come back and win this game - they've been beating the teams they should be beating this season, and I think they’ll be able to turn the screws on Everton."
