Paul Merson has backed Chelsea to win against Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in the FA Cup this weekend.

Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea will take on Palace at Stamford Bridge in London in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Former Arsenal star Merson believes that Chelsea will pick up all three points from the London derby against Palace courtesy of a 3-0 win.

Merson wrote on SportsKeeda: “Chelsea were absolutely outstanding against Real Madrid the other night. 

“Timo Werner could’ve scored five goals in the first half against Southampton, but he still has a long way to go at the club. He’s scoring great goals at the moment and could play a part against Crystal Palace.

“Werner, Havertz, and Mason Mount are Chelsea’s best front three at the moment. With Conor Gallagher unavailable for Crystal Palace, I see nothing but a Chelsea win here.”

Chelsea are rated at 2/1 on Betfair to win the FA Cup this season.
