Carragher backs West Ham to beat Arsenal
According to EFL column, Carragher claims West Ham United will beat Arsenal on penalties. He said :-
“This one’s a big one. It depends on what teams get put out because I’m not sure the changes West Ham will make with them being in the Europa League as well, so I’m going to go for West Ham on penalties. I think it’ll be a really tight game and Arsenal will make a few changes.”
However, Carragher backs Chelsea and Liverpool to win their respective fixtures. He further said :-
“I hope Chelsea win this one. They look like they’re just getting it together now this season under the manager Poch and I think they’ll win that comfortably against Blackburn Rovers.
“This one I have to get right! I’m going to go for Liverpool. I think it’ll be tight because I think Liverpool will make a lot of changes, but I think they’ll probably just have enough off the bench.
“With Manchester City already being out of this competition, I think it gives everyone a great opportunity to win a trophy. I think Jurgen Klopp will bring his big guns down to the game to be on the bench.”
