After Arsenal’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday, former England star Paul Merson believes the spotlight is now firmly on Manchester City. The Gunners, powered by a double from Viktor Gyokeres and a goal from Bukayo Saka, surged six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Merson emphasized that the pressure has shifted to Pep Guardiola’s side, who face Everton on Monday night. He noted that the next few days will be crucial for City as they attempt to close the gap on Arsenal.
Merson praised Arsenal’s resilience, stating that their response to a recent defeat against Bournemouth has been remarkable. He highlighted that the performance against Fulham exceeded even Mikel Arteta’s highest expectations, given the circumstances of the week.
