Despite Arsenal's recent upturn in form, former Gunners star Merson believes that he still expects Liverpool to win. Mikel Arteta's side have won their last five league matches to move up to fourth place in the league table.
"Watching both cup games, I'd be shocked if they [Arsenal] turned it around that quickly," Merson told Sky Sports.
"Liverpool look like they're more established. Liverpool have got to go out and win this game. Arsenal have done what they've had to do - they've beat the other teams.
"We haven't talked too many times and said, 'Oh, Arsenal have drawn with Watford at home 0-0'. Man Utd haven't won games they should have won and Arsenal have.
"If you do that, it doesn't really matter what you do against the big three. They've been consistent against the teams they should beat."
