Jamie Carragher has pinpointed Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba as the duo that have taken Arsenal to the next level this season.
Following their 3-1 win over north London rivals Tottenham the Gunners sit top of the Premier League with an impressive 21 points from a possible 24. Their start to the new season is perhaps even more impressive when last campaign’s collapse is taken into consideration.
Mikel Arteta’s side looked destined for the Champions League for much of the run-in, until defeats to Newcastle and Spurs opened the door for their neighbours to pinch fourth place. Carragher offered a pessimistic view on where Arsenal would go from there, claiming they had blown their big chance to return to Europe’s top competition.
