Paul Merson: "Chelsea won't beat Tottenham if Mudrick and Madueke play.

Former Arsenal player Paul Merson believes Chelsea will not beat Tottenham in the 25th round of the APL if Michal Mudrik and Chukwunonso Madueke play for the Blues.

"This is one of the most important matches of the season for Chelsea. It's two teams that don't like each other. If Chelsea loses, it will put more pressure on Potter. And I want him to stay. I'm not sure he brought these players in. I'm watching these newcomers and thinking, are they better than the players who were already on the team? Definitely not.

I hope Potter will field the following starting lineup: Kepa, Rhys James, Ben Chilwell, Benoit Badiachil, Tiago Silva, Enzo Fernandez, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Raheem Sterling, Kai Haverz and Joao Felix. If this team plays, Chelsea will beat Tottenham 3-0.

If Potter plays Michael Mudrick and Chukwunonso Madueke, they won't win," Merson said.

The Tottenham vs. Chelsea match is tomorrow, Feb. 26.
