Liverpool great Jamie Carragher has downplayed suggestions Arsenal can be branded as 'failures' if they - as expected - lose the Premier League title race to Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola and his star-studded City side are in pole position to win their fifth English top-flight crown in six years after clawing back the Gunners following the World Cup break. City might yet claim a historic treble, too, after reaching the FA Cup and Champions League finals.
Despite pushing them all the way, Arsenal will almost-certainly finish as runners-up and Liverpool have often found themselves in that position over the last few seasons - aside from their memorable title win during the 2019/2020 campaign. So why does Carragher want the Gunners and Liverpool to be cut some slack?
