Jamie Carragher has delivered a fresh verdict on Arsenal's Premier League title race with Manchester City, highlighting £45million summer signing Gabriel Jesus as 'a revelation' for Mikel Arteta's side. The Brazilian striker has been sidelined through injury for the past three months but is edging closer to making a return to the squad.
The Gunners have maintained their five point lead at the top of the Premier League table despite being hampered by injuries to key players such as Jesus and Thomas Partey. The Brazil international was a pivotal player for the north Londoners in the first half of the season, scoring five goals and providing a further six assists helping them go into the World Cup with 14 wins from 16 games.
Arsenal are facing a crucial run of fixtures that could define their season with the return of Europa League action and crucial Premier League matches against Liverpool, Chelsea and City still to come. Arteta will be boosted by the return of Jesus to training, with the 25-year-old set to travel with the squad for their Europa League round of 16 first leg against Sporting CP this week.
