Jamie Carragher has explained why Arsenal have few reasons to worry about losing to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.

The Gunners were second-best for the majority at Wembley on Sunday as Nico O’Reilly scored twice to clinch the first silverware of the season.

City are well-versed at getting over the line to win trophies under Pep Guardiola, while Arsenal are approaching a sixth year without winning silverware.

After the game, Gary Neville claimed that City delivered a possible psychological blow to Arsenal ahead of the Premier League run-in, but fellow pundit Carragher disagrees.

Arsenal remain favourites to win the Premier League title, along with the Champions League and FA Cup.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said: “Man City have let themselves down with a couple of results of late, and there's enough breathing space for Arsenal right now [for this to] not affect them too much mentally.

“In terms of the Premier League, they've got a great league. Yes, if they lose at Man City, it could be on. Of course, it could be, but if [the gap] was a lot tighter it would play into it a little bit more.”

He added: “They're the best team in the league. They've only lost four games out of 50 [in all competitions], let's not get too carried away, let's not forget that. And in the Champions League, they're on the right side of the draw, and they've got a great opportunity [to reach the final].

“But what we saw today, and one of the criticisms I have of Arsenal as a team ... is that they lack something really special in the attack, a world-class talent who could have just turned that game forward. They definitely lack that.”
