Jamie Carragher reveals the one thing Arsenal must do to be title contenders again this season - as he warns Mikel Arteta's side face a 'huge psychological test' against Aston Villa this weekend

Jamie Carragher has identified a potential early tripping hazard in Arsenal's bid to secure a first Premier League title in two decades.

The Gunners pushed Manchester City all the way last season, taking the title race right to the final day before being pipped to the post by Pep Guardiola's all-conquering side once again.

Mikel Arteta's side managed to claim victories in 16 of their final 18 games en route to an impressive points total, but Carragher insisted that their lone defeat in that run ultimately shattered their ambitions of silverware.
