Jamie Carragher names one thing Liverpool must do to stop Man City from winning Premier League

Jamie Carragher has called out the one thing that both Liverpool and Arsenal must do if they want to stop Manchester City from winning the Premier League

On Monday evening champions City retook second spot on the same points as Arsenal with a 3-1 win against Brentford.

Crucially for Pep Guardiola, his team still has a game in hand on the other two title contenders, which is also against Brentford in two weeks' time.

City are once again favourites to lift a fourth consecutive title and the onus is back on Liverpool and Arsenal to find a way to end the period of dominance.

City have now won their last five league games and have plenty of form for finishing title run-ins strongly.

Carragher is under no illusions that Guardiola's side will not drop many points between now and the end of the season

Carragher believes that the key to toppling the champions will be in the head-to-head matches themselves.

Carragher said:

“I think from Liverpool and Arsenal’s point of view, there will be this nervousness and City and are coming back and going to go on a run, but Arsenal and Liverpool have got to both play City.

“If you’re going to win the league you have to beat City.

"Then the other teams that you play, you’re probably going to be favourites for most of the games you go into.

"I think it’s important for the players and fans not to get too downhearted with what Manchester City are doing.

"Forget City, when you play them do the job and concentrate on your own game and try and drag it out as long as possible, and who knows what can happen.”

Liverpool will host City at Anfield on Sunday, March 10
