As a result, they are no longer able to win a trophy this campaign.
And former Premier League star Carragher has claimed that players could start doubting their future at the Emirates if Arsenal don't turn things around.
Asked if he thinks that Declan Rice especially - the club's most expensive player - could be doubting his time in North London during an appearance on Sky Sports, the 47-year-old said: "I don't think right now.
"I think for other players maybe in the team who have been there a little bit longer.

"In terms of Declan, I think he's been Arsenal's best player this season. I'm not saying he'd give it another 12 months, but I think those doubts maybe kick in in another 12 months.
"It might be different for somebody like a [William] Saliba, who has been there a little bit longer and is desperate to get his hands on some silverware.
"I don't think there will be any thoughts like that right now, I think they all feel they're really close.
"They are very close, but we all know as players the final step is the biggest one."
