Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has warned that Arsenal’s Premier League trip to Aston Villa will serve as a strong test of their title credentials.
The Gunners currently sit five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table and have been widely praised for their consistency and dominance this season.
However, Villa remain one of the league’s most formidable sides, occupying third place, just six points behind Mikel Arteta’s men ahead of the weekend showdown.
Carragher, sharing his thoughts on X, wrote:
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads!
It could be tested tomorrow after Aston Villa!!”
The highly anticipated fixture is expected to have significant implications for the title race, with both teams in strong form.
