Arsenal may not have the mettle to finish in the Premier League top four this season, despite playing a “more impressive” style of football than their rivals, according to Jamie Carragher.
The Gunners are top of the Premier League, sitting a point above defending champions Manchester City after six matches. Mikel Arteta’s side made a storming start by winning their first five games before being brought back to earth with a bump with a 3-1 defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.
Arsenal have finished outside of the top four and therefore failed to qualify for the Champions League for the past six campaigns, with rivals Tottenham pipping them last season. Arteta’s squad has been significantly strengthened by the summer additions of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and William Saliba, among others, but Carragher remains unconvinced.
