The Gunners are currently second in the table, two points behind surprise package Leicester City.
Arsene Wenger's side are favourites to be top in May after their 2-1 win over Manchester City on Monday - and Carragher says he wants to see the Frenchman lift the trophy in 2016.
"Seeing Leicester top on Christmas Day was fantastic," he wrote in his
column for the Daily Mail. "Their story in 2015 could not have been scripted and I genuinely hope it continues for as long as possible. But if I could pick a team to be champions, I would not hesitate in selecting Arsenal.
"The main reason is for Arsene Wenger. He changed football when he arrived in England but for the last five or six years he’s had to endure a lot of stick from the media, pundits (guilty!), Jose Mourinho and even his own fans. But Wenger very rarely reacts, and he tries to take it all in his stride.
Back in the day: Carragher in action for Liverpool against Arsenal
"His team are moving in the right direction and, after two FA Cups, I would like to see him lift the Premier League trophy again. It would be an achievement to crown his outstanding career."
The revelation may come as a surprise to Liverpool fans who are currently watching their side drop back down the table after an initial boost from new boss Jurgen Klopp.
