Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal are in a strong position to win the Premier League title this season but says Manchester City striker Erling Haaland remains their biggest threat.
Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the table to four points last weekend, following a narrow 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace, putting them six points ahead of City and seven clear of Liverpool.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said Mikel Arteta’s side have put themselves in a “great position” to end their 21-year wait for a league title, but warned that Haaland could prove decisive in the title race.
“Arsenal came into this season worried about Liverpool being the major obstacle to ending a 21-year title wait,” Carragher said.
“Now their biggest fear might be Erling Haaland.
Where Arsenal have the best squad among the contenders and Liverpool must fix well-documented issues, Manchester City have the most influential player and dynamic attacker.”
