Carragher says only Arsenal and Man City will fight for EPL title
Jamie Carragher, Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit, said after his former club’s 3‑0 loss to Manchester City that only Arsenal and the current champions will realistically compete for the Premier League title this season. Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher pointed to City’s second‑half surge after Ryan Gravenberch received a second yellow card, and added that the delay in punishing City for proven financial breaches makes the title race feel meaningless. "We need a resolution as soon as possible because we’re watching a game and not sure what it actually means going forward," he said, noting that Arsenal and Man City are "the two best teams by a mile" and no other side is likely to challenge them.
Carragher’s comments come as Liverpool sit off the pace following the defeat, raising questions about whether teams like Chelsea, Newcastle or Aston Villa can mount a serious title bid. For Nigerian fans watching the EPL, the takeaway is clear: the battle for silver may essentially be a two‑horse race unless the league resolves the financial‑fair‑play issue affecting City’s competitive edge.
Will you still back a dark‑horse challenge for the title, or do you agree that only Arsenal and Man City have the resources and consistency to win it this season?
