Jamie Carragher has explained why he thinks Arsenal will have a \u201creal problem\u201d if they do not win the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n
Arsenal\u2019<\/strong>s hopes of winning the Premier League title have been given a boost over the past week or so, with Mikel Arteta\u2019s side beating Newcastle United and Fulham before Man City dropped points against Everton.<\/p>\n Man City still have a game in hand over Arsenal, but the title is no longer in their hands as they sit five points adrift of Mikel Arteta<\/strong>\u2018s side.<\/p>\n This weekend, Man City play first as they host Brentford on Saturday night, while Arsenal visit relegation candidates West Ham on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n Ahead of these games, Carragher explained why he thinks Arsenal will not \u201cmess it up\u201d if they beat West Ham.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the game that can go either way, but if Arsenal get over the line against West Ham, I can\u2019t see them messing it up from there,\u201d Carragher told The Metro at The 2026 Women\u2019s Football Awards.<\/p>\n READ: Why rival fans are \u2018duty bound to denigrate\u2019 Arsenal and their \u2018legendary season\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you think about it, it could arguably be the biggest game of the season. But for lots of other teams, it\u2019s probably the biggest game for West Ham. They have to get something.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a huge game for Tottenham, because of the angle of West Ham. It\u2019s a huge game for Man City, because of Arsenal\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think that game at the weekend is so big, not just for the two teams involved, it\u2019s huge for both of them. But also what it does for City and Tottenham.\u201d<\/p>\n However, Carragher has also argued that the Champions League final against PSG will become a \u201creal problem\u201d for Arsenal if they do not win the Premier League.<\/p>\n \u201cThat game will be a real problem if they don\u2019t win the league,\u201d Carragher added.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Big Weekend: West Ham v Arsenal, Man City, Jorgensen, Emery, play-offs, El Clasico<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI think that\u2019ll be a problem. Yes, you want to win everything, but I think Arsenal really want to win the league.<\/p>\n \u201cThey wouldn\u2019t turn their noses up at the Champions League, but I think Liverpool were in that situation a few years ago, where they\u2019d gone so long without winning the league that they just wanted it done.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, more often than I always say, the Champions League is a bigger trophy to win. But I think when you\u2019ve gone so long without the league, they\u2019ll be desperate for that.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think if they win it, which they should do, the position that they\u2019re in right now, I think it\u2019ll give them a huge boost.<\/p>\n \u201cThey will need that going into the final. I think we all know PSG are the better team, but that doesn\u2019t mean Arsenal can\u2019t win a one-off game.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Top 10 Big Six banter seasons features Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United classics<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\u201cThat game will be a real problem if\u2026\u201d<\/h2>\n
