Jamie Carragher believes Pep Guardiola's desire to win a treble could impact Manchester City's Premier League title battle with Arsenal. Following City's dominant win over Southampton, the Gunners were only able to secure a point away at Anfield against Liverpool, meaning the gap between the two title rivals now stands at six points.
Despite still having a healthy lead, many believe the title is now in City's hands, with the reigning champions having a game in hand, that will soon become two, and because Arsenal still have to visit the Etihad Stadium. That fixture takes place on Wednesday, April 26, and although that date is just over two weeks away, City play four times in three different competitions before then.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta must only prepare his players for two Premier League games against West Ham and Southampton. For Guardiola the immediate focus is on their Champions League quarter-final first leg at home against Bayern Munich which takes place this evening (Tuesday).
