Arsenal legend Paul Merson believes Chelsea were the better side against Liverpool and Arsenal and expects same from Chelsea against Tottenham on Monday night.

“Against both Liverpool and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea were the better side in both games,” Merson told Sky Sports. “Both teams had a go at Chelsea and that’s why I feel the trip to Tottenham could be perfect for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

“It’s game on for the Blues on Monday night. There is no question that Spurs will have a go at Chelsea.

“The way they are playing and sitting top of the league, they have no choice but to try and continue in the same vein they have in the opening 10 matches of the season. However, that plays into Chelsea’s hands.

“Nicolas Jackson is getting a bit of stick at the moment but he’s quick and a threat on the counter. The you’ve got Raheem Sterling on the wing.

“He was brilliant against Arsenal and if he can reach that level again, he’ll cause Spurs problems on the break. Cole Palmer brings the guile and he was different class in the first half against Brentford.

“Chelsea will be able to give this game a real go. I’d be shocked if Chelsea lost at Spurs.”
