Arsenal legend Paul Merson believes the Premier League’s dominance could lead to two English sides battling for the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.
Following the latest round of European fixtures, Merson pointed out that the current standings reflect the sheer strength of English football.
With Arsenal, Newcastle, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Chelsea all currently sitting in the top eight and Manchester City always a threat Merson suggests the draw is the only thing that could stop a domestic showdown on the grandest stage.
“There is no competition that is as hard as the Premier League,” Merson told Sportskeeda. “I won’t even be surprised if it’s an all-English final this season, if the knockout draws go in favour of our teams.”
