“The funny thing again is that, it’s a HUGE win for them”- “Paul Merson’s Jaw-Dropping Prediction for Leicester vs Brentford Will Leave You Stunned
Leicester City host Brentford at the King Power Stadium on Friday evening, with the Foxes desperately needing a win after falling into the bottom three following a difficult run of form.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side has only won one of their last 11 Premier League matches, and continuing this trend will leave them in serious trouble.
Leicester’s recent performance against Arsenal was decent, but defensive errors ultimately cost them.
Ahead of Friday’s match, Paul Merson has shared his prediction for the game.
Paul Merson Predicts Leicester City vs Brentford
Writing in his weekly Sportskeeda column, Paul Merson gave his thoughts on the upcoming clash between Leicester and Brentford.
“This is a must-win game for Leicester,” Merson wrote.
“They haven’t scored in any of their last five home games in the Premier League! The strange thing is they often look good going forward, but they can’t find the net. Eventually, they run out of ideas, and their confidence fades, allowing opponents to take control.
“This is the wrong time for Leicester to face Brentford at home. Just a few weeks ago, Brentford were struggling to win away from home, but now they’ve won three straight on the road. I always say that timing is key in football, and Brentford’s current good form makes them the favorites here.
“Leicester are in serious trouble if they lose again, and I don’t think this game will be kind to them.”
Merson has predicted a 2-0 win for Brentford at Leicester’s home ground.
Leicester Should Consider Taking a Gamble on Jeremy Monga
Leicester’s failure to score in their last five home games highlights the need for a change in their attacking approach.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Jordan Ayew have not been providing enough of a threat on the flanks, so it might be time for Van Nistelrooy to take a chance on Jeremy Monga.
Monga is considered one of the best teenage talents in world football and is close to making his senior debut, having been named on the bench against Manchester United earlier this month.
Both Manchester City and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Monga, which shows just how highly regarded he is.
The 15-year-old winger has been impressing for the U21s and seems ready to make an impact in the game against Brentford.
