Jamie Carragher has disagreed with Gary Neville and Ian Wright's predictions for Liverpool taking on Arsenal this weekend in a heavyweight clash at the top of the Premier League.
Both teams have won two games so far this season, with Liverpool beating Bournemouth and Newcastle and Arsenal coming out on top against Manchester United and Leeds.
I’m going to let him [Carragher] pick the score, but I think Arsenal will win.
"He’ll go with [Mikel] Merino, [Declan] Rice, [Martin] Zubimendi, then [Eberechi] Eze or [Leandro] Trossard, but he’ll have the big back four, four or five in the box and they’ll score from set-pieces.
"I think Arsenal will score two from set-pieces.
Liverpool will score one and it will be 2-1 to Arsenal."
Unsurprisingly, the former Arsenal striker Ian Wright also backed Arsenal to prevail away from home, despite the Gunners having not won at Anfield in the Premier League since 2011.

"I think Liverpool will score one, but I’m going 2-1 to Arsenal," Wright said, speaking on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet.
If you’re good enough to be in the first team, that means you’re in the first team."
Liverpool.com says: Arsenal will offer a similar threat to Newcastle from set-pieces and Liverpool will have to set up better from those situations, otherwise it could be a long afternoon.
Given how early in the season it is and that a point apiece would be a decent result for both sides, that is probably where the smart money lies
