Sky Sports analyst Paul Merson has expressed his uncertainty about Manchester United's upcoming Premier League clash against Chelsea, admitting he's "a bit lost" when trying to predict the outcome of Saturday's match at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils, currently sitting 14th in the Premier League table under manager Ruben Amorim, face a challenging test against Chelsea. Merson's prediction hinges on what he sees as United's "main problem" - their inconsistent form and the pressure mounting on the team early in the season.

Merson's analysis suggests that despite home advantage, Manchester United's recent struggles make this match particularly difficult to call. The outcome could significantly impact both teams' standings as they look to build momentum in the 2025-26 Premier League campaign.

Football fans will be watching closely to see if Merson's concerns about United's form prove accurate when the two teams take the pitch this weekend.
