Merson: Leaning towards Liverpool being able to beat Chelsea, a draw doesn't make sense for both sides

Liverpool are about to start a direct dialogue with Chelsea, both teams are currently second and third in the table, but both teams are facing the impact of the epidemic and injuries as well as the Africa Cup of Nations. Commentator Paul Merson believes that a draw does not make sense for both sides and he prefers Liverpool to win.

"As far as I look at Chelsea's game against Brighton, I think Liverpool will beat Chelsea. I believe both teams have now withdrawn from the title race, but whoever loses this game could be a fatal blow. A draw doesn't make any sense for both sides as they both need to close the gap with Manchester City. ”
