FA Cup replay: Merson predicts Aston Villa vs Chelsea clash

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has predicted Wednesday’s FA Cup fourth round replay between Aston Villa and Chelsea.

The fixture ended in a 0-0 draw between both sides at Stamford Bridge.

However, a winner has to emerge at Villa Park tonight.

Merson, speaking to Sky Sports, said he does not give Chelsea a chance.

He said: “I don’t give Chelsea a chance on Wednesday night, not even a chance. That can’t be right. When was the last time I ever said that as a Chelsea fan?

“It was only a few years ago that the other team would have no chance against Chelsea. Everyone would be surprised if they won that game.

“There might be a bit of brilliance from Cole Palmer to win it but that will cover over the cracks.”
