Jamie Carragher names the two signings Arsenal must make in order to beat Liverpool
Jamie Carragher says Arsenal won’t win the Premier League title until they. Make two crucial signings which will address Mikel Arteta’s ‘biggest problem’.
Following their 1-0 home win over Ipswich Town, Arsenal have move up to second in the table. But are still six points behind Liverpool who have a game in hand.
With Manchester City floundering and ทางเข้า ufabet Chelsea still rebuilding under. Enzo Maresca, many believe it is a two horse race for the title, with Liverpool the clear favourites.
That is an opinion of Carragher who believes that while the Gunners are better prepare for a title fight. One huge issue means their two-decade wait for a Premier League trophy is set to continue.
‘Arsenal’s biggest problem right now is their injuries. They manage to avoid too much disruption in the last two years but their squad has stretche this time,’ the Liverpool legend tol.
‘Mikel Arteta will find the answers to ensure the team improves in the second half of the season, and they have built valuable experience of a run-in. If they can get to March still close, they will believe.
‘But I am speaking with my head and heart when saying Liverpool will pip them to first place. Arne Slot’s attacking options are the strongest in the Premier League.
My only worry for Liverpool is if they pick up injuries to their big players. If they can avoid them, they will be difficult to catch.’
As of mid-December, Arsenal had suffered 16 different player injuries, only Brighton and Ipswich had more, with captain Martin Odegaard and Ben White among their notable absentees.
Since then they’ve had more problems, with talisman Bukayo Saka now ruled out for two months after undergoing surgery to deal with a hamstring injury.
