Merson and Carragher Divided on Arsenal's Title Chances After Fulham Prediction

Paul Merson and Jamie Carragher have found themselves on opposing sides of the debate regarding Arsenal's Premier League title prospects ahead of their crucial fixture against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Watch the highlights:

Merson, speaking on Sky Sports, declared that Arsenal will clinch the Premier League title if they secure all three points against the Cottagers, citing the Gunners' superior squad depth and current form as decisive factors in their favour.

However, Carragher has urged caution, describing the Fulham fixture as a potential 'banana skin' for Arsenal's title charge. The former Liverpool defender highlighted the Cottagers' impressive home record and Arsenal's occasional struggles against well-organised opponents this season.

The Gunners head into the match four points behind leaders Liverpool, with a game in hand providing hope for Mikel Arteta's side. A victory at Craven Cottage would keep the pressure on the league leaders while maintaining momentum in the closing stages of the season.

Arsenal's recent performances have shown resilience, with key players returning from injury at a crucial juncture. The north London club has demonstrated the ability to win tight matches, a trait that will serve them well in the title run-in.

Fulham, meanwhile, have been solid at home and will provide a stern test of Arsenal's title credentials. The Cottagers' European ambitions have kept them motivated throughout the campaign, and they will be determined to cause an upset that would reverberate across the league.
