Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has claimed Arsenal must keep winning their Premier League fixtures or they could lose the title.

Carragher was analyzing last weekend’s matches, where both Arsenal and Manchester City picked up three points.

The Gunners won 1-0 at West Ham, while City hammered Brentford 3-0 a day before.

Mikel Arteta’s men are five points clear and only have Burnley (H) and Crystal Palace (A) left to play.

City will play Palace, Bournemouth and Aston Villa in their remaining games.

Carragher said: “Where they could put pressure on Arsenal is if they get a decent scoreline against Crystal Palace.

“They scored three against Brentford, Arsenal obviously only got one against West Ham.

“If City could win by three or four goals, I think that could put pressure on Arsenal and almost take the idea that you could afford to draw a game.

“If the goal difference is heavily in Man City’s favour going to the last game of the season, that is real pressure on Arsenal

“Arsenal have to keep winning or they lose the title.”

Nasarawa United technical adviser, Mbwas Mangut, has expressed satisfaction as the team returns to winning ways in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL.

The Solid Miners ended their four- game winless run with a 1-0 victory over Bendel Insurance at the Lafia City Stadium on Sunday.

John Joshua netted the only goal in the 40th minute.

Mangut believed that the team can consolidate on this performance in the remaining fixtures in the NPFL.

“It’s a thing of joy to get the maximum points today,” Mangut told Nasarawa United’s media.

“Prior to the game, we had lost two games this second stanza of the league which affected the team’s spirit, but I’m glad we are recovering gradually.

“You see, these things happen once a while in every team, but it’s up to every member of the team to self-motivate themselves by picking up their pieces and recovering.”
