Liverpool legend consider Arsenal will not win Premier League this season

Arsenal are back at the top of the standings in the Premier League

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher doesn’t give any support to Arsenal on their title chances in the Premier League. He feels the Gunners will miss out the finish on the podium due to poor performances.

Arsenal are back at the top of the standings in the Premier League. Man City played out a draw against Liverpool and it helped the Gunners to take the top spot.

Gary Neville has previously said that Arsenal’s slow, yet positive, start is a better sign of their title credentials than last season. However, his Sky Sports colleague thinks differently.

“If Arsenal continue how they are, if this is the Arsenal we are going to see this season, I don’t think that can win the league,” Carragher said.

“So many games are going to the wire and sometimes that game can go against you. You think of the [Aaron] Ramsdale mistake, the big chance that Brentford had in the second half.

“Those games that are won can easily go 1-0 against you.

“When we’re talking about ‘a different Arsenal’ we can see it in stats, but everyone can see it with their eyes. It’s not the same fluidity, the same pace, energy, creating chances, you can see that.

“I don’t think it’s anything tactical. When I watch Arsenal it’s the same things. [Oleksandr] Zinchenko going into midfield, Declan Rice has come in for Thomas Partey and Partey was outstanding at this stage last season, and Declan Rice has been outstanding. In midfield I’d say they’re more offensive (than last season).

“The reason I don’t think they are as fluent, I think individually the attacking players have been average this season whereas they were on absolute fire last season.

“In terms of [Gabriel] Martinelli, [Bukayo] Saka, [Gabriel] Jesus. [Martin] Odegaard was up there last season alongside Kevin De Bruyne.”
