In the fifth round of the Premier League’s top-of-the-table clash, Manchester City scored an equalizing goal in the last seconds through Stones, earning one point and maintaining their top position. Former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher talked about the title race for this season’s Premier League during an interview with “Sky Sports,” analyzing the prospects of Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool’s pursuit of the Premier League title this season.
Regarding Manchester City, Carragher praised them: “Manchester City’s strength is unquestionable; they have won the Premier League title four times consecutively, which is a remarkable feat. As for Arsenal, they finished second in the past two seasons, showing significant improvement. This season, Arsenal was the first team to take points from Manchester City. However, after five rounds, Manchester City still leads Arsenal by 2 points. This season, Manchester City will once again defeat Arsenal to win the Premier League title.”
In response, former Manchester United star Gary Neville said: “We all know that Arsenal excel at set-pieces, as seen last week when they defeated Tottenham Hotspur using a set-piece. However, you can’t rely on set-pieces to win every week. Sometimes, winning more depends on the players’ abilities, such as offensive shooting skills. In this regard, Manchester City has an advantage over Arsenal.”
When talking about his former club Liverpool, Carragher said: “Similar to last season, Liverpool lags slightly behind Manchester City and Arsenal, being the third-best Premier League team. I don’t expect Liverpool to make further progress this season. The support the club gives to Sloot is clearly insufficient, and the team’s lineup hasn’t been upgraded. Of course, we can see that Liverpool is improving, and hopefully, next season they can compete for the title.”
After five rounds of the new Premier League season, Manchester City leads with 13 points from 4 wins and 1 draw, followed closely by Liverpool with 12 points from 4 wins and 1 loss. As for Arsenal, they rank fourth with 11 points from 3 wins and 2 draws.
This week in the English League Cup, Liverpool will face West Ham United, Arsenal will face Bolton Wanderers, and Manchester City will face Watford.
Carra: Liverpool is a Premier League giant but has slim chances of winning the title; Manchester City will defeat Arsenal again to claim the championship. Author：Sports UEFA.Please indicate the source when reproduced：https://www.sportsuefa.com/football-world/43571.html
