But for lots of other teams, it\u2019s probably the biggest game for West Ham. They have to get something. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"594\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2275047982.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=594\" class=\"article-image wp-image-28287701\" alt=\"2026 Women's Football Awards - Arrivals\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Carragher spoke to Metro at the 2026 Women\u2019s Football Awards (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s a huge game for Tottenham, because of the angle of West Ham. It\u2019s a huge game for Man City, because of Arsenal\u2019s situation. I just think that game at the weekend is so big, not just for the two teams involved, it\u2019s huge for both of them. But also what it does for City and Tottenham.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>However, if they do fail to win the league from this position, Carragher fears that Arsenal will struggle to summon the emotional reserves to take the fight to PSG the following weekend in the Champions League final.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That game will be a real problem if they don\u2019t win the league,\u2019 he added. \u2018I think that\u2019ll be a problem. Yes, you want to win everything, but I think Arsenal really want to win the league. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018They wouldn\u2019t turn their noses up at the Champions League, but I think Liverpool were in that situation a few years ago, where they\u2019d gone so long without winning the league that they just wanted it done.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For me, more often than I always say, the Champions League is a bigger trophy to win. But I think when you\u2019ve gone so long without the league, they\u2019ll be desperate for that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But I think if they win it, which they should do, the position that they\u2019re in right now, I think it\u2019ll give them a huge boost. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018They will need that going into the final. I think we all know PSG are the better team, but that doesn\u2019t mean Arsenal can\u2019t win a one-off game.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><br \/>\n<strong>Facebook,\u00a0<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Metro_Sport\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Real Madrid punish Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni with huge fine after training ground fight<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Noah Okafor injury update ahead of Tottenham vs Leeds United<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Alexander Isak injury update ahead of Liverpool vs Chelsea<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"share-buttons-bottom\" class=\"share-buttons share-buttons-bottom\">\n\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Comment now<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-comment\" href=\"#social-comment\"\/><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-comments__label\">Comments<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-preferred-source\" href=\"#social-preferred-source\"\/><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-preferred-source__label\">Add as preferred source<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
