Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal can wrap up the Premier League title with a win against West Ham next weekend after Manchester City dropped points against Everton on Monday.<\/p>\n

The title is now back in the Gunners\u2019 hands after City played out a choatic 3-3 draw with Everton at the Hill Dickinson stadium.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s side led through Jeremy Doku\u2019s first-half strike, but mistakes and ill-discipline saw City ship three goals in the space of just 13 minutes as David Moyes\u2019s side ran riot on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland hit back straight from kick-off to reduce the deficit before Doku\u2019s superb strike in added time ensured that the visitors escaped with a point.<\/p>\n

But Arsenal are now firmly back in the driving seat to claim their first title in over 20 years, holding a five-point advantage over City, who still have one game more to play than their north London rivals.<\/p>\n

The focus for Mikel Arteta\u2019s side will be firmly on Tueday\u2019s massive Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid, and the chance to reach their first final in that competition since 2006.<\/p>\n

But Carragher believes that Arsenal could have one hand on yet more silverware if they can navigate a potentially awkward trip to East London next weekend when they face relegation-threatened West Ham.<\/p>\n

\u2018From an Arsenal point of view, tonight is all about the league but I think tomorrow, can you imagine the excitement,\u2019 Carragher said on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u2018Yes, it\u2019s a different competition but the excitement from Arsenal fans, the energy that will be in that stadium. Get to the Champions League final, the league is in you hands with two or three weeks to go.<\/p>\n

\u2018But if Arsenal win that game away [at West Ham] next Sunday, they have won the league. The league is won. They beat West Ham it is on.<\/p>\n

\u2018They will beat Burnely absolutely no problem at home, I think it\u2019s on West Ham away and the Manchester City need maximum points then to take it to the last day. But I think if they win at West Ham away, the league is won.\u2019<\/p>\n

But former Arsenal title-winner Thierry Henry was not as keen to get swept up in emotions after City\u2019s dropped points on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u2018I said earlier that I can see City dropping points at Everton like I\u2019m worried about the West Ham game [for Arsenal] so I\u2019m going to stay in my lane and celebrate too early because nothing is done,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"Arsenal\t<\/div>

\u2018But I could see that happenning because things can happen at Everton at any moment and I would say that I saw a bit of nervousness with City because they technically brought Everton back into the match with some mistakes.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, speaking after his side\u2019s dramatic draw, Guardiola told Sky Sports: \u2018Really good performance. We played outstanding in the first half. Really, really good. Second half, they made a step up and we maybe weren\u2019t as aggressive and after, of course, we gave away the goal. <\/p>\n

\u2018After they came back, they make a proper English game \u2013 so aggressive, so, so aggressive in the duels. But in general, we made a really good performance.\u2019<\/p>\n

On what this result does for the title race, the Spaniard added: \u2018We take the point and until it\u2019s over, we will continue. <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s better than losing, It shows what type of team they are. It\u2019s not in our hands. Before it was, now it\u2019s not. We have games left. We will see what happens.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ciy return to league action next Saturday when they host Brentford at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
