Jamie Carragher has claimed Manchester City star Erling Haaland is the biggest hurdle standing between Arsenal and the Premier League title.

Arsenal currently sit top of the table after eight games, holding a four-point lead over Liverpool and three over City. The Gunners have capitalised on Liverpool's recent slump, with the Reds losing three games on the bounce.

Despite Liverpool spending over £450million in the summer transfer window - bringing in Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak - Carragher sees City as the greater threat to Arsenal's title hopes.

Writing in his column for The Telegraph, Carragher said: "Arsenal came into this season worried about Liverpool being the major obstacle to ending a 21-year title wait.

"Now their biggest fear might be Erling Haaland. Where Arsenal have the best squad among the contenders and Liverpool must fix well-documented issues, Manchester City have the most influential player and dynamic attacker.
