Carragher Backs Arsenal Over Liverpool As Premier League Title Favourites

Carragher Backs Arsenal Over Liverpool as Premier League Title Favourites Former Liverpool defender and football pundit Jamie Carragher has named Arsenal as his favourites to win the 2026/27 Premier League title, overlooking recent champions Liverpool despite their domestic success. Carragher believes Mikel Arteta’s side has assembled a squad capable of ending its wait for a league crown after several near misses in recent seasons. Speaking ahead of the new campaign, Carragher praised Arsenal’s activity in the summer transfer window, arguing that the club has strengthened key areas and now possesses the depth needed to sustain a title challenge over the course of the season. He suggested that the Gunners have learned valuable lessons from previous campaigns in which they narrowly missed out on the championship. While acknowledging Liverpool’s quality under manager Arne Slot, Carragher said he believes Arsenal are better positioned to finish at the top of the table this season. He also pointed to the expected competitiveness of Manchester City, predicting another tightly contested race among England’s leading clubs. Arsenal have consistently finished among the Premier League’s top teams in recent years but have been unable to convert strong campaigns into a league title. The club will be aiming to capitalize on its strengthened squad as it seeks to secure its first Premier League championship since the 2003/04 “Invincibles” season. The new Premier League campaign is expected to feature another intense battle at the top, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United all strengthening their squads during the transfer window in pursuit of domestic success.
