Jamie Carragher has laid out the stakes plainly: Arsenal's visit to West Ham on Sunday amounts to a Premier League coronation if they can secure the victory.
The match at London Stadium, broadcast live on Sky Sports, carries such weight that a win would essentially hand the title to the Gunners, according to the former Liverpool defender. Carragher's assessment cuts through the noise of the congested fixture list and points to the competition's defining moment.
The fixture has taken on outsized importance in the title race, with Arsenal positioned to capitalize on what could be a decisive opportunity. Whether other contenders slip up or whether Arsenal's own performance holds up under pressure, the narrative Carragher has constructed makes Sunday's clash feel less like a regular match and more like the final word on this season's championship.
Author Michael Brooks: "Carragher doesn't make those declarations lightly, and if a respected analyst sees Sunday as the title decider, Arsenal's midfield and defense need to be razor sharp."
