Anfield Trip Is Arsenal’s Biggest Game Since Arsene Wenger Reign – Former Liverpool Man

 

Arsenal are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League having played a game more than Manchester City, who are second.

 

They have a massive game coming up this weekend when they will travel to Merseyside to take on a struggling Liverpool side.

 

 

And Carragher insisted that it is going to be the biggest game in Arsenal’s recent history given the fact that the result could dictate the fate of the Premier League title race this season.

 

He stressed that a win for Arsenal will more or less make them the ultimate favourites to win the league but a defeat could make Manchester City the masters of their own destiny.

 

 

The former Liverpool defender also insisted that getting a result at Anfield would also be the ultimate test of the mentality of the Arsenal players and whether they can handle the pressure.

 

Carragher wrote in his column for the Daily Telegraph: “Win, and Arteta’s side are the favourites in the title race. Lose, and the championship is in Manchester City’s hands.

 

 

“Those stakes make this the biggest Premier League fixture Arsenal have played since Arsene Wenger’s glory years.

 

“If Arteta and his players are celebrating come full time, most neutrals will agree when the inevitable chorus of ‘now you’re gonna believe us’ starts.

 

“They will think Arsenal can even afford to lose one of their tough remaining games to City or Newcastle United and still get over the line.

 

“Some victories are worth more than three points.

 

“Anfield is one of the few stadiums in England which provides a true barometer of whether a team have the mentality and skill to be champions.

 

“Arteta knows that.”

 

Arsenal still have big away trips to Newcastle and Manchester City left in the Premier League run-in.
