Jamie Carragher reveals who he wants to win in Man City vs Arsenal as bold title prediction made

Liverpool fan Jamie Carragher has revealed his preferred winner from this weekend’s huge Premier League clash.

League leaders Arsenal travel to the Etihad Stadium one point ahead of their title rivals Manchester City in what could prove to be a game that decides the Premier League winner.

Liverpool are level on points with The Gunners, behind on goal difference, and welcome Brighton to Anfield hoping to capitalise on at least one of their competitors dropping points.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are looking to bounce back after a demoralising FA Cup exit at the hands of rivals Manchester United prior to the international break and Carragher believes the psychological impact of Sunday’s result could be massive in the title race.

Arsenal are yet to drop a single point in 2024 but the Sky Sports pundit believes losing to City could derail their title bid completely.

“Yes, but I think even if Man City lose that game on Sunday, they can still win the league. They can still win the league if they lose,” he replied when asked by Gary Neville if he wants Arsenal to win.

“I think if Arsenal get beat, I don’t see how they win the league. For Liverpool, surely you want City to lose but I actually think they could still win the league after that.

“I don’t see Arsenal winning the league if they get beat. From Liverpool’s point of view then you’re only fighting against one team for the title.

“I know points-wise it won’t make much of a difference but I just think psychologically it would really affect Arsenal if City jump above them, especially as you’d expect Liverpool to beat Brighton at home and then they’re above Arsenal too.

“I think it would be tough for Arsenal to come back from that.”

Pep Guardiola is looking to win his fourth Premier League title in a row and Neville agreed with Carragher that they will be extremely difficult to stop if they beat Mikel Arteta’s men.

He added: “If Man City win on Sunday, I’m not saying it’s game over but it would be very difficult for Arsenal and Liverpool.

“Given City’s experience and the run they’re on, it would be very difficult.”
