Paul Merson predicts Premier League top six and which clubs in danger of relegation…
Paul Merson has given his verdict on the upcoming 2026/27 Premier League season. The Chelsea fan and former Arsenal player predicting the finishing order of the top six come the end of May 2027.
Former Arsenal player, Paul Merson, has predicted the finishing order for the top six clubs in the upcoming 2026/27 Premier League season. He firmly believes that Arsenal will win the league comfortably, with no significant weaknesses in the team. Liverpool is expected to secure a Champions League spot, despite their fans' concerns about the impact of the summer transfer window.
Paul Merson is more confident about Chelsea, Manchester City, and Tottenham making it into the top six, though he acknowledges a surprise in Liverpool's position. The fifth-placed Tottenham has secured a spot after a remarkable turnaround from their relegation-threatened position last season. Aston Villa, however, faces challenges in remaining in the top six as they struggle with financial constraints and the need to trade their best players to comply with UEFA's financial rules.
Paul Merson also questions the chances of the promoted teams staying up, pointing to Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Newcastle as potential candidates for relegation due to wage and transfer spend restrictions.
