Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has predicted Wednesday\u2019s Premier League clash between Manchester United and Chelsea.<\/p>\n
The two heavyweights face off at Old Trafford in what promises to be a very exciting game.<\/p>\n
Merson feels the match will see a high-scoring draw, as both teams easily concede goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cChelsea haven\u2019t been great defensively, and Man United are all over the place. They let in three goals against Galatasaray and could\u2019ve conceded ten against Newcastle.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to go in swinging with my prediction for this game \u2013 I expect a high-scoring draw. Prediction: Manchester United 3-3 Chelsea,\u201d Merson wrote in SportsKeeda.<\/p>\n
United go into the game seventh on the table with 24 points, while Chelsea are 10th with 19 points.<\/p>\n
