The Premier League title race is hotting up with all three of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City all firmly in the race.

Manchester City and Liverpool meet head on this weekend while Arsenal have an easier game on paper, facing Brentford, albeit without David Raya.

Of course, it’s one of the tightest races in years and for the neutral fan, it’s exciting. For those who are fans of the three clubs in the mix, things are getting nervy.

Arsenal, in particular, are under pressure having fell away last season when getting ahead of City at one point. However, Jamie Carragher has told fans on the latest of the episode of The Overlap that he thinks Arsenal will once again falter, thanks to the away fixtures they’ve got.

“You have got tough away games. It’s Tottenham, City, Wolves, Brighton and Man United. I think that will just stop you. If Man City don’t lose points in the next four or five games, your last four or five are decent games, your tough ones are now. It’s got to be here or now for Arsenal,” Carragher said.

Arsenal will be fuming if they throw title chance away

While we all know City and Liverpool two massive juggernauts who will take some stopping, Arsenal will still be annoyed if they don’t at least go to the final few weekends.

Mikel Arteta’s side are in such amazing form right now and look like the best team in the league at times. For them to throw it away like last season would be a massive blow.

Arsenal can and probably will be in the mix come the end of the season. But if they aren’t it will be a huge frustration and you could argue they might not have a better chance under Arteta.

The Gunners boss, then, will be keen to ensure his team keeps on ploughing through.
