Arsenal’s Title Prospects: Keane and Carragher Weigh In
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher have shared their thoughts on Arsenal’s title prospects following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City. The draw allowed Arsenal to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table after a dramatic victory over Brentford.
Arsenal’s Resilience
Despite facing a tough challenge from Brentford, Arsenal managed to secure a late victory thanks to Kai Havertz’s header. This win marked their eighth consecutive victory, showcasing their resilience and determination. Keane believes that Arsenal “look ready for the challenge” and have shown significant improvement compared to last season.
The Physical Transformation
Keane attributes Arsenal’s newfound strength to their recruitment and the addition of quality players. He notes that the physical aspect of their game has improved significantly, making them a stronger team overall. This transformation has caught Keane’s attention and has led him to doubt Manchester City’s chances of winning the title this year.
Liverpool’s Performance
Carragher, on the other hand, believes that Liverpool still has a strong chance of winning the title. He acknowledges that if Manchester City beats Arsenal later this month, they will become the “strong favorites.” However, if Arsenal manages to get a positive result against City, the conversation could shift once again. According to Carragher, both Liverpool and Arsenal would need a three or four-point gap going into the final games of the season to have a chance of toppling City.
The Title Race Continues
With Arsenal currently leading the pack, it is clear that this season’s title race is far from over. The performances of both Liverpool and Arsenal have caught the attention of football pundits, creating an exciting and unpredictable race for the top spot. As the season progresses, it remains to be seen who will emerge as the ultimate victor.
