Jamie Carragher warns Gravenberch may never recover after Iraola hands teenager a first Premier League start against Arsenal

Ian Wright said Trey Nyoni must be "unbelievable in training" to have earned a first Premier League start from Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola in such a high-stakes Anfield fixture against Arsenal, with the teenager aged just 19. Carragher described the call on Sky Sports as a "mighty blow" for Ryan Gravenberch, who was left on the bench despite his status as an established first-team midfielder.

Carragher reached back into his own playing career, citing the moment Roy Evans chose him over Michael Thomas — after which the senior player "never really recovered."

Gary Neville labelled an Arsenal player 'embarrassing' within minutes of kick-off, heaping further pressure on Mikel Arteta's side at Anfield.

Arsenal have gone 13 Premier League matches without a win at Anfield, a sequence that stretches back to Arteta's time as a player rather than a manager.
