Paul Merson Offers His Prediction Ahead Of Man Utd’s Clash With Norwich

Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has made his prediction ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Devils head to Carrow Road tomorrow lunchtime needing a win to close the gap on the top four and boost their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Louis van Gaal’s side trail fourth-placed Manchester City by four points following their 1-1 draw with Champions Leicester City at Old Trafford last weekend but with City playing third-placed Arsenal on Sunday, this is the perfect opportunity for United to close the gap.

Norwich are fighting for their lives at the other end of the table and with both sides having plenty to play for, Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson feels it will be an entertaining game at Carrow Road which will ultimately see United take home all three points with a 3-2 win.

Writing in his column for Sky Sports, he said:

Norwich v Man Utd – Saturday, 12.45pm

I think this will be a good game, it’s one of those that both teams have to win. There’s no point playing like Man City, they’re both going to come out and have a go, and I’ll go Man United to pip it in a high-scoring game. It’ll be entertaining, Norwich are fighting for their lives and so are United but in a different context. I just don’t see this one being a boring game.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-3

We’ll have to wait and see whether Merson’s prediction proves accurate but a win for United would be a major boost in their hopes of finishing in the top four and put the pressure on City ahead of their clash with Arsenal on Sunday.

If you agree with Merse and feel Man Utd will win, then….
