Football pundit Paul Merson has predicted that Newcastle United will win during their Premier League clash against Burnley at Turf Moor on Monday.
Both sides have so far exceeded expectations this season. After winning promotion back to the Premier League last season, the Magpies have taken 14 points from their opening nine games.
Burnley meanwhile have taken 13 points despite losing their two key players from last season in Michael Keane and Andre Gray during the transfer window.
Sean Dyche’s men have also managed to record wins over Chelsea and Everton as well as draws against Liverpool and Tottenham, and cannot be under-estimated by any team.
Merson however has predicted that it will be the Magpies who will be the ones to prevail on Monday. He said: “I haven’t gone for Newcastle to win once this season but that changes today!
“Burnley’s home form has been a little shaky and Newcastle are on a roll. They did well against Southampton and the Palace win was big for them.”
