Jamie Carragher changes Premier League title prediction for Arsenal amid Manchester City’s struggle
Arsenal remain very much in the Premier League title race despite a stuttering run which saw them win just one of their last five games in the 2024-25 campaign, and Jamie Carragher has changed his predictions for who he thinks will win the title this term between the Gunners, Manchester City and Liverpool.
The Sky Sports pundit initially picked the reigning champions to win a consecutive fifth title, but their recent form has changed his mind and he has predicted his old club to win it, tipping Arsenal to finish ahead of Man City.
“I actually think Arsenal might finish above Manchester City because of the problems they have got in midfield,” Carragher said.
“I’m going to go Liverpool to win the league now. I think it will be the bookies’ favourite and they have got a sizable lead. I still think it’s obviously going to be a tight run-in, whether that’s Manchester City trying to get at them or Arsenal coming back at them as well.
“I went for Arsenal second, Liverpool third and Tottenham Hotspur fourth. Liverpool and Arsenal will be in there. I just hope one of them is at the top end of the table.”
The Gunners are currently fourth in the table after 12 games, with nine points between them and leaders Reds, a point between them and Man City and a superior goal difference keeping Chelsea above them.
Liverpool and City face off on Sunday, and the result of the match will benefit Arsenal, provided they pick up all three points at West Ham United on Saturday.
They host Manchester United afterwards before league games against Fulham, Everton, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town, and they need to go on a winning run to get themselves firmly back in a favourable position in the title race.
While Arsenal have had several injury woes so far this term, they cannot use that as an excuse and may need to bolster their ranks in January with a few quality additions.
Things are looking good for them after a third of the campaign played, but they need to improve significantly and start winning games on the bounce if they are to land their first Premier League title since 2004 at the end of the campaign.
