According to Jamie Carragher, in order for Liverpool or Arsenal to have a legitimate chance of winning the league, they must defeat Manchester City when they meet again this season.
On Monday night, City thrashed Brentford 3-1 to tie Arsenal for points, but they are still two points behind leaders Liverpool. Crucially, City has a game in hand on both teams, with a fixture against Brentford in two weeks.
Following a difficult start to the season, Pep Guardiola’s team appeared to have found its groove, winning five consecutive league games. In the previous three seasons, the Blues had long winning streaks in the winter or spring before winning the Premier League title.
Liverpool and Arsenal are concerned about Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne’s return, but Carragher has warned City’s opponents to focus on their forthcoming games against the club rather than the champions’ present form.
“I think from Liverpool and Arsenal’s point of view, there will be this nervousness and [signs out loud] City and are coming back and going to go on a run, but Arsenal and Liverpool have got to both play City,” Carragher stated in an interview with Sky Sports.
“If you want to win the league, you need to beat City. Then, for the most of the games you play against the other teams, you will most likely be the favourites.
“I think it’s important for the players and fans not to get too downhearted with what Manchester City are doing. Forget City, when you play them do the job and concentrate on your own game and try and drag it out as long as possible, and who knows what can happen.”
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you. https://accounts.binance.com/sl/register?ref=OMM3XK51
