137 The Premier League title race is tighter than ever after this weekend with Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal now neck and neck.
Liverpool were the big losers in the weekend really as they could only draw at Manchester United, despite hammering the Red Devils in the opening 45 minutes.
Arsenal, meanwhile, continued their fine run of form as they hammered Brighton at The AMEX.
While down at Crystal Palace, Manchester City also showed their credentials by winning 4-2 as Kevin de Bruyne turned up to the party.
Of course, it now means there’s just a single point in it, with Arsenal currently sitting top on goal difference.
And speaking after watching Liverpool at Old Trafford today, Jamie Carragher has now shared his latest prediction in the title race.
Jamie Carragher shares who he thinks will win the Premier League
Speaking on The Gary Neville podcast right after the game with United today, Carragher spoke highly of Arsenal.
However, he still believes the title is going elsewhere.
“I think there’s this thing we look at and it might change off the back of a Liverpool draw, the OPTA, and look it’s never going to go exactly how you think. But I just feel for a long time, Arsenal have been very undervalued because they look so strong defensively that when you’re going into a game….when I played for Liverpool we were that sort of team, we never outscored teams but we could keep a clean sheet and it does give you that belief you only need one,” Carragher said.
“Just watching Arsenal yesterday and it was one of those games (on paper) where it could easily have been a draw. But I think if Arsenal are going to have problems I think, I’m not sure on the stat, but four times this season they haven’t scored in a game, and I think that’s more than City and Liverpool. I’ve always felt Man City were still the favourites even when they dropped behind a few weeks ago. I still believe that Man City are the team to stop in this title race.”
City, as we know, have won the last three titles and very much know how to get it over the line.
Liverpool and Arsenal, meanwhile, know that there might not be a better chance for a while.
The pressure, then, is on.
