Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal can still win the Premier League, but it might require a miracle.
The Gunners have endured a mini-collapse in the last few game weeks after dropping points at Liverpool and West Ham, then at home against Southampton yesterday.
The Saints are bottom of the league table and most fans expected Arsenal to return to winning ways, but the game ended 3-3.
Mikel Arteta’s men must now beat Manchester City at the Etihad to give their fans hope of winning the league.
City has stayed close to Arsenal and will almost certainly win the league if they beat the Gunners next week.
It is not an outcome that most people expected when Arsenal had a huge points gap between them and the Citizens.
After the game against Southampton, Carragher said via The Daily Mail:
‘It is still in Arsenal’s hands, and we keep saying it, and it just shows you how far ahead they were.
‘They’ve dropped six points in the last three games, and it is still in their hands.
‘They did have a really sizeable lead, but they are going to have to do something miraculous now between now and the end of the season.
‘But we’ve seen them go on runs before, certainly on the back of losing to Man City at Emirates Stadium. That was a big disappointment, but they went on to win the next seven games.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Beating Southampton should not have been too hard, but dropping two points against them last night clearly shows something is amiss.
City will feel confident about catching us now and the winner of the match between both clubs could win the league.
Arteta proud of our comeback after Arsenal 3-3 Southampton

Forget about miracles, we’ve blown our chance of PL glory.
Gary Neville and his Arsenal-haters gang will be having a hearty laugh
I know man, so much pain seeing our rivals rejoice in our collapse. If city beat us on Wednesday by a big score the embarrassment will be complete 😂
Can we make it four draws on the Trott, I’d certainly take that now and then watch City behind the wheel in a tight race. A loss would be unbearable after the work we put in all season
