Paul Merson claims top Premier League manager is 'two games from the sack' - and insists the head coach 'won't be there' next week if his side drop points again

Paul Merson is confident a top manager will be sacked if he drops points in either of his next two Premier League games.

The Sky Sports pundit, who played for Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Arsenal during his Premier League career, fears a top head coach is on the brink of the axe after yet another defeat in the top flight last weekend.

Merson is concerned that Enzo Maresca will be sacked by Chelsea if he cannot steer his side to victory against both Southampton on Tuesday and Leicester on Sunday March 9.
