Carragher Says Liverpool Win Against Everton Could End Arsenal’s Title Hopes
Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher believes that a win against Everton on Wednesday night would all but crush Arsenal’s hopes of winning the Premier League title.
Liverpool’s quest for a quadruple ended on Sunday after a shocking FA Cup exit to Plymouth, but they still have their sights set on league glory. A victory at Goodison Park would put them nine points ahead of Arsenal with 14 games remaining.
The match, originally postponed in December due to bad weather, has gained even more significance with the title race heating up.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Carragher emphasized its importance: “This is the biggest game of the season, not just because it’s a Merseyside derby. Liverpool have been talking about this game in hand for months.
“If they win, they’ve almost got one hand on the trophy. A nine-point lead at this stage would be massive, and psychologically, it could be a huge blow to Arsenal. I don’t think many at Arsenal would believe they could close that gap.”
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
