Paul Merson has tipped Tottenham to ‘fall over the line again’ when they face Leicester City this weekend.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have managed to grind out results during a difficult spell in which they have been without a number of players, including Harry Kane.
And pundit Merson, in his predictions for Sky Sports, suggested Spurs will manage to pick up three more points against the Foxes.
The former Arsenal and England forward said: “This will be a hard game for Spurs as Leicester have been competing and doing well against the big teams – those sides have a go at them and they can counterattack with the pace of Jamie Vardy, while you also have James Maddison and Demarai Gray in support.
“However, despite this being a tough test, I do still see Spurs falling over the line again… they keep on winning, which is the main thing for them – you do not get any extra points for winning 6-0.”
Merson also predicted that Chelsea will not be able to cope with Manchester City’s attacking players on Sunday.
“I think City will win this as I just do not see how Chelsea defensively can keep them quiet on their ground and the way they pass and move it,” he said.
