Jamie Carragher names three players who mean Arsenal will NOT win Premier League

The Sky Sports pundit has called out three players following Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.

Jamie Carragher has called out the three players that he thinks will cost Arsenal the Premier League title this season.

For the past two seasons, Arsenal have been engaged in a fiercely contested Premier League title race with Manchester City, narrowly missing out on both occasions.

This season, it appears the Gunners are facing a different challenge, competing instead with Liverpool and Nottingham Forest for the 2024/25 title.

But Sky Sports pundit Carragher has once again tipped them to fall short of lifting the Premier League trophy this season, and he has called out three players as the reason why.

On Saturday, Arsenal's title hopes took another blow after they surrendered a 2-0 lead over Aston Villa by conceding two goals to draw the match.

Earlier in the day, two late goals from Darwin Nunez sealed a win for Liverpool, while Forest survived a late scare from Southampton on Sunday.

And Carragher is convinced that the reason why Arsenal cannot win the league is because of the front three they are currently playing with.

"I'll give you three reasons [why Arsenal can't win the league],” Carragher said while speaking on Monday Night Football.

"They had [Marc] Overmars, [Nicolas] Anelka and Dennis Bergkamp. This team, at the moment, is playing with [Gabriel] Martinelli, [Leandro] Trossard and [Kai] Havertz, it's not enough."

Both Martinelli and Havertz found the back of the net during Saturday's match, but have struggled to find consistent form this season, scoring a six and eight Premier League goals respectively so far this season.

Meanwhile Trossard has scored just four goals in his second full season with Arsenal, having joined from Brighton in January 2023.

The Gunners have sorely missed star player Bukayo Saka, who has been absent since suffering a hamstring injury during the 5-1 win over Crystal Palace in December.

And with the English winger not expected back until March, many Arsenal fans have called for the club to sign a new forward in the final days of the ongoing January transfer window.
