Paul Merson predicts Leeds United vs Southampton
Merson wrote: “This is yet another massive fixture in the relegation zone. I was flabbergasted by the Chelsea result (1-0 win) last weekend. Southampton got the win against the odds.
“They were the better team in the first half. They chased everything down and worked hard. They did get a bit lucky in the second half but fair play to them, they got the win.
“Leeds United play at 100 miles an hour irrespective of the scoreline. Whichever team loses here is likely to get relegated. You’ve got to beat the teams around you and that’s why it’s important for both sides to go all-out for the win here.
“Southampton are going into this full of confidence. The Saints performed well against the Blues and will play with belief on Saturday. But the match is likely to end in a draw.
“Prediction: Leeds United 1-1 Southampton.”
