Paul Merson says that the chances of the title of the Premier League of Arsenal will be finished if Liverpool beat Crystal Palace and that the Gunners lose against Newcastle on Super Sunday This weekend.
A victory for Liverpool at Crystal Palace on Saturday, followed by a defeat for Arsenal in St James ” Park would see the team of Mikel Arteta at eight points behind the leaders of the League, who started the season with five consecutive victories.
It is a gap which, according to Merson, would be too big for the Gunners revised, even at this early stage of the season, however, he believes that a victory in Newcastle, live Sky Sportswould put his old game in a strong position after a difficult list to start the season.

Highlights of the Arsenal match against Man City in the Premier League
When I saw the Arsenal team against Manchester City last Sunday, I was discouraged.
No lack of respect for Leandro Trossard, he is a good impact player, but you hunted after Ebechi Eze and paid the money to play in big games – if not why buy it?
No one cares about Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League. If they lose this game, it doesn’t really matter because the Premier League is priority. They haven’t won it for over 20 years.

For me, you cannot continue to come in second position. The Bilbao game does not mean anything compared to Man City.
This is what Jamie Carragher said the super Sunday, they lost 45 minutes from the match.
You have to choose a team to give respect to Man City, but you realize at the end of the match, Man City is not far from what they were. This is the problem. If City wins the 1-0, you praise them, but they don’t.

Roy Keane discusses what he thinks that Arsenal must do in the future to ensure that they challenge Liverpool for the title of Premier League
If you sit down and see how bad City was in the cold light of the day, Arsenal missed a trick.
Arsenal played this game at the right time. City had already been torn apart by Tottenham. If you watch Brighton’s game, as soon as Brighton starts to go to Man City, they are everywhere. I don’t know why Arsenal did not watch these games. Why did they sit? The questions must be asked.
Mikel Arteta now has a player in each position. You buy X-Factor players like Eze for X-Factor games, which is why you buy them-they make things happen in tight situations.
Few other players could have played the pass that Eze had made for the goal.
When I played, if you paid the best dollar for a player, they played. And if they failed, the manager would be dismissed.
I just couldn’t make it think about it.
“Newcastle essential jet game for Arsenal”

Gary Neville thinks that Arsenal cannot win the title by playing safely
Arsenal is now five points behind Liverpool now, and so this weekend is such an essential game in Newcastle, it’s a joke.
If Liverpool wins at Crystal Palace on Saturday, when Arsenal plays on Sunday, they are eight points behind. If they lose, believe me, the race for the title of the Premier League is finished for them. Damn. On.
People get caught all the time, thinking: “Don’t worry, there are 32 games, a lot of points to play”. If I told you at the start of the season, “there are 38 games, but Liverpool will start with a head start of eight points”, it doesn’t matter that you are the most faithful arsenal fan in the world, you could not see them win the League.
I’m tired of this “there are still 30 strange games”. You must get the points in the table early.
It’s a must, you have to win the highest level football match for Arsenal.
“Pressure well and really on Arsenal now”

Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher discuss the lack of creativity from Arsenal on Sunday after Mikel Arteta’s team posted Manchester City in the Premier League
Liverpool is big favorites for the title.
But I said that if Arsenal has obtained four points from their next two games – being City and Newcastle – they win the League.
I think they win it, but the pressure is indeed now.
I expected what they beat Man City and draw in Newcastle, but now they have to go to Newcastle and beat them.
Arsenal had one of the most difficult departures in the history of the Premier League, this is a stinking start.
If they can move away from this weekend, still five points behind, they are still a chance, and Liverpool in Palace is not a gimme. But in my opinion, eight points, that’s too much.
Look at Newcastle VS Arsenal live on Sky Sports Le Super Sunday; Kick -off from 4.30 p.m.
