Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal can wrap up the title this weekend if they beat can beat West Ham<\/a> after Manchester City<\/a> dropped points against Everton<\/a>.<\/p>\n The former Premier League<\/a> champions headed to Hill Dickinson Stadium knowing that only a win would do with Arsenal<\/a> six points ahead of them, albeit having played two games more. But a second half implosion meant they had to settle for a 3-3 draw, with Jeremy Doku rescuing a point right at the death<\/a>.<\/p>\n City’s failure to win means their fate is no longer in their own hands, with Arsenal five points ahead of their rivals. And while nothing will be confirmed this weekend, Carragher and Gunners legend Thierry Henry both pinpointed this weekend’s trip to West Ham as a decisive one in terms of the destination of the title.<\/p>\n “It’s a tough away game, they [Bournemouth<\/a>] are in great form,” Carragher said on Sky Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Man City hand Arsenal control of title race despite dramatic comeback vs Everton<\/a>READ MORE: Premier League explain decision to allow Everton goal vs Man City<\/a><\/p>\n “From an Arsenal perspective, tonight is about the league, but can you imagine the stadium tomorrow [for the CL semi-final second leg]? The excitement for the competition, the energy from the fans that will be in that stadium. To get to a Champions League<\/a> final, the league is in your hands with three games to go.<\/p>\n “If Arsenal win against West Ham next Sunday, they win the league.”<\/p>\n Henry stressed that he would not be getting ahead of himself as there is still scope for Arsenal to also drop points and pinpointed the trip to West Ham as the game that ‘worried’ him the most.<\/p>\n The Frenchman said: “I thought Man City would drop points at Everton… they came back into the game and he [Pep Guardiola<\/a>] has to be positive because they still have plenty of points to play.<\/p>\n Manchester City’s title hopes were dealt a major blow by Everton(Image: Stu Forster)<\/p>\n “The only thing that has changed is it is now in Arsenal’s hands only.”<\/p>\n He continued: “Now it’s back in Arsenal’s hands. It’s not in Man City’s hands anymore. I said at the beginning of the show that I could see City dropping points against Everton and that I’m worried about the West Ham game. So I’m going to stay in my lane and not celebrate too early because nothing is done. But I could see that happening.<\/p>\n “I saw a bit of nervousness with City because they imploded. They brought Everton back into the game with some mistakes. The game became crazy.<\/p>\n “Arsenal can see that Man City dropped two points, but you can’t start to think that, ‘Now, maybe…’ There’s no maybe.<\/p>\n “Win your games. Don’t look at City.
