According to Gary Neville, a former Manchester United star, Arsenal is poised to seize the Premier League crown without faltering. The Gunners’ recent 1-0 triumph over Burnley has put them within touching distance of their first league title in over two decades.
Mikel Arteta’s squad now enjoys a five-point cushion over Manchester City, who are set to face Bournemouth on Wednesday. City must secure a victory at the Vitality Stadium to keep the title race alive; otherwise, Arsenal will be crowned champions.
Speaking on his Sky Sports podcast, Neville expressed confidence in Arsenal’s resolve. He stated that if Arteta leads the team to the title, it would cement his status as a champion manager. Neville emphasized that going toe-to-toe with a Pep Guardiola-led Manchester City and emerging victorious is a remarkable achievement. He added, “They’re on the brink now, and I can’t see how they’re going to waste this opportunity.”
