Champions League: Paul Merson Predicts Psv Vs Arsenal, Tells Arteta To Drop Merino

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has backed the Gunners to go through to the Champions League quarter-final ahead of PSV.

Merson also urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to drop Mikel Merino from the starting line-up and play Raheem Sterling.

PSV will host Arsenal in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie on Tuesday night.

Writing in his column for Sky Sports, Merson said, This would be a nice draw for Arsenal if they had a full team but with no firepower now, I don't see them blowing PSV away.

Its turned into a tricky tie. Arsenal have failed to score in their last two games and they only scored against Leicester, who have been letting goals in for fun, in the last 10 minutes.
