Jamie Carragher predicts who will win Premier League out of Arsenal and Man City after watching 2-2 draw

Arsenal picked up a point at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon in a 2-2 draw against reigning champions Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta’s men went down to 10 men just before the half-time interval as Leandro Trossard picked up a second yellow for kicking the ball away, thus delaying the restart.

That forced Arsenal to sit deep in a rigid structure in the second half and they almost held onto their lead until John Stones levelled in stoppage time.

Speaking post-match, Jamie Carragher issued his prediction on who will win the Premier League title.

Jamie Carragher thinks Manchester City will win the Premier League title

Speaking on the Gary Neville podcast, Jamie Carragher issued his title prediction.

“I just think they (Manchester City) have got a little bit more in those attacking areas,” the former Liverpool defender said.

“I just think they have got a little bit more. If Arsenal would have held on, it would have been a set-piece goal.

“And we know they are amazing at set pieces. We saw it last week when they won the game against Tottenham.

“But you can’t win the game on set pieces every week. I just think Manchester City have the edge there.”

Arsenal will need to do business in January

For Arsenal to win the Premier League, they’ll need to do some business in the Janaury transfer window.

A specialist number nine is needed as is another Martin Odegaard-esque player – those two areas could definitely be improved upon.

Viktor Gyokeres would be the perfect fit for Arsenal.
