Jamie Carragher warns that Erling Haaland poses the real Arsenal threat in their Premier League title race this season.
Arsenal have made a remarkable start to the 2025/26 Premier League campaign. After ten matches, Mikel Arteta’s side sit six points clear at the top of the table. Their solid defensive record—just three goals conceded—has been key to their success.
New signings like Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, and Viktor Gyökeres have injected creativity, control, and cutting-edge attacking play. The Gunners now look more complete than ever, balancing flair with tactical discipline.
Speaking on Sky Sports, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher shared his candid thoughts on Arsenal’s title challenge.
“I think the biggest threat to Arsenal is Erling Haaland, not so much Manchester City, really,” Carragher said.
Carragher believes that Erling Haaland’s individual brilliance poses a greater danger to Arsenal’s title hopes than Manchester City’s overall team performance.
The Manchester City striker continues to showcase why he’s one of the best in the world. Erling Haaland has already scored 13 league goals this season, combining ruthless finishing with unmatched physical presence.
Carragher’s comments highlight how important it will be for Arsenal to find a way to limit Haaland’s influence in key games, particularly when the title is at stake.
Why Haaland Is a Bigger Threat Than City
Carragher’s analysis highlights an important truth: sometimes, it’s not the entire team that defines the challenge—it’s the individual brilliance of a single player.
