EPL: Carragher names Liverpool player that would give Arsenal nine points

Sky Sports pundit, Jamie Carragher has claimed Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker would have added nine points to Arsenal’s tally.

Carragher was previewing Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash between both clubs at Anfield.

He described the fixture as an acid test for the Gunners’ title-winning credentials.

Arsenal, who are currently top of the Premier League table, have not won at Liverpool since September 2012.

Carragher believes Alisson would have been a great addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad.

He told The Telegraph: “If Arsenal had Alisson Becker they would be almost guaranteed a minimum of nine extra points, which would win them the title.

“Overall, Arsenal are a year ahead of Liverpool in their development, but the teams are closer than Klopp could have imagined when playing catch-up at the start of this season.”
