The former Liverpool defender has predicted the number of points needed to win the Premier League this season.
Jamie Carragher has predicted that a points total in the ‘mid-80s’ might be enough to win the Premier League this season.
Carragher’s former club Liverpool are currently at the top of the table, with 37 points from 16 games. In comparison, Arsenal, who led the Premier League after 16 matches last season, had 43 points.
The Gunners currently trail Liverpool by a single point in second in the present standings. Manchester City are a further point back in third.
“This could be one of those seasons in which a side wins the league with a points total in the mid-80s,” Carragher wrote in The Telegraph.
“In all but three of the last 10 seasons, the tally of the leaders after 16 games was higher than Liverpool’s going into this weekend.”
In four out of the previous six campaigns, the Premier League winners had over 90 points. Manchester City won the most recent edition of the tournament in 2022/23, with 89 points in total.
