EPL: Title race could be over in two weeks – Merson

Former Arsenal star and football pundit Paul Merson has predicted that the Premier League title race might be settled in just two weeks. Merson believes the next few matches will be crucial as top teams battle for points and momentum at a decisive period of the season. According to him, any slip-up now could hand an advantage to one rival and instantly shift the title picture.

Merson explained that the coming fixtures could separate serious contenders from the rest. He stressed that title-winning teams usually step up when pressure rises, and failure to perform at this stage can end championship dreams. He added that consistent performance and avoiding costly mistakes are key in such a tight race.

The football analyst noted that teams currently chasing the top spot must show hunger, focus, and resilience. Dropping points against smaller teams or losing high-profile clashes may prove fatal. Merson believes the next few matches will reveal which team truly has the mentality to go all the way.

He also said that clubs must stay injury-free and manage player fitness wisely as the games come fast. Squad depth, he noted, will play a big role, especially against difficult opponents in quick succession. Winning tough matches now could decide the fate of the league early.

Merson encouraged fans to watch closely as the drama unfolds, saying supporters should expect emotional, high-pressure encounters. With tension rising and every point mattering, he believes the league table could look very different in two weeks, potentially signalling who will lift the Premier League trophy this season.
