Merson: Everton would rather play against Manchester United with Sheszko and I believe the Red Devils will win 2-0 this weekend

November 22 News Gunners legend Paul Merson believes that Manchester United performed better without Sheshko because the latter's playing style is too predictable. This season, Sheshko has only scored 2 goals in 12 games.

Merson said: "The absence of Sheshko will not help Everton, because they would rather play against Manchester United with Sheshko."

"If Sheshko plays, Everton will know what they are facing and how to mark him. But if Cunha plays as a false nine, the situation is completely different. One second you are watching Cunha, and the next second you see Mbemo cooperating with him. With Sheshko, Manchester United can only play one style, and it will be much easier to deal with."

Merson believes that Manchester United will continue their good momentum and predicts that they will defeat Everton 2-0: "Manchester United are slowly finding some rhythm. I say this cautiously, because we would not evaluate them like this last season or last season. Manchester United performed quite poorly in terms of winning streak, but now there is some hope. I said Manchester United could not win Nottingham Forest, even if they were in good form at the time. That draw was disappointing, but I believe they will win this weekend to make up for the regret."
