Jamie Carragher explains Arsenal title race advantage over Man City as he makes fixtures point

Jamie Carragher believes the number of matches Manchester City still have to play compared to Arsenal could be their undoing during the Premier League title race.

Mikel Arteta's side only have eight more matches left to play this season after already exiting both domestic cup competitions and Europa League. Comparatively, City will play nine more Premier League matches, plus a two-legged Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich and an FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United.

If they reach the finals of both those competitions, that would mean 16 more matches, double Arsenal's amount. Carragher has suggested that manager Pep Guardiola rotating in the league ahead of crucial cup ties could be City's downfall.
