Jamie Carragher names the Arsenal star he wishes played for Liverpool

Jamie Carragher admits he wishes Liverpool had one of Arsenal’s players ahead of their huge Premier League clash against Manchester City.

Following the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย on Wednesday night, Liverpool have gone eight points clear of Arsenal albeit having played a game more.

The Reds were unconvincing in their draws at Villa and Everton and narrow win over Wolves, and on Sunday they face a huge test when they travel to the Etihad.

Despite the recent performances, Arne Slot’s side are far more fancie to lift the trophy, in part because of the Gunners’ terrible luck with injuries, especially in attack.

Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are out for the season, while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli remain sidelined, with Mikel Arteta force to deploy defensive midfielder Mikel Merino as a striker in their last game – admittedly to great effect.

Carragher claims Arteta would love to have one of Liverpool’s forwards in his squad but also admits that he would have like Slot to sign an extra defender in January in order to have guarante the title.

‘Whoever falls short this season will be asking themselves if they could have done a little more in the summer and January transfer windows,’ the Liverpool legend wrote in his column.

It is sure to dominate the post-season discussion at Anfield and the Emirates if there are just a few points between first and second. I am not convinced either club truly grasped the nettle with recruitment to maximise their chances.

‘Arsenal supporters have concerne since the start of the year that they do not have the necessary firepower. How Arteta must wish he had someone of the calibre of Cody Gakpo in his squad, the Dutchman’s 16 goals in this campaign going under the radar.

‘For Liverpool, I have banging the drum about the need for defensive reinforcement and wish they had a full-back like Jurrien Timber.

The recent injuries to Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley leave Slot short of cover, but he still has his first-choice back four to select – a contrast to Arsenal’s injury problems up front.’

Timber misse practically all of last season with injury but has a dependable player for Arsenal this campaign, playing in every position across the backline.
