The second half of last season I think was the best. I thought Arsenal were brilliant, as good as anyone in Europe and I was watching them every week thinking this is a proper team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were talking after the game yesterday that I still think, if Liverpool go on and win the league, you can always so, who\u2019s going to challenge the champions next season?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I would still back Manchester City more than Arsenal right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Carragher\u2019s comments come as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/arsenal-mikel-arteta-title-race\/\">Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta remains defiant in the title race.<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Despite the setback against West Ham, Arteta has refused to concede the fight for the Premier League trophy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mikel Arteta isn&#39;t rolling over in the Premier League title race \ud83d\udc40\ud83c\udfc6 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/No1e0JnOB2\">pic.twitter.com\/No1e0JnOB2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkySportsPL\/status\/1894327968945553739?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 25, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Can Man City Bounce Back and Challenge Liverpool Next Season?<\/h3>\n<p>Man City are currently 20 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool and were knocked out of the Champions League last week by Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after Liverpool\u2019s impressive win at the Etihad, Slot \u2013 who replaced Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield hot-seat \u2013 admitted he did not expect the Reds to be in such a dominant position when he took over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, because you never think like that. If you start somewhere, you don\u2019t think about where you are in terms of points at the end of the season,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What we do know is that no one saw us as a title contender when we started at the beginning of the season, and I think no one in the world of football would have expected City not to be so close to the one that leads the league if they are not the one that leads the league.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all know why, they had many injuries, they had a difficult period, but again today you could see \u2013 although the result maybe doesn\u2019t show you that \u2013 how good they are as a team and how difficult they are to play against.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Man Utd Lack Spirit &amp; Is Salah Better than Ronaldo &amp; Henry? | The Overlap Fan Debate\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K5dp64UL7kA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie Carragher has named Liverpool\u2019s biggest rival for the Premier League title next season.
