Gary Neville has now shared who he thinks will win the Premier League out of Manchester City and Arsenal.
The 48-year-old revealed his answer on X (previously known as Twitter).
So, who did Gary Neville choose between Manchester City and Arsenal? Let’s take a look…
What’s the story?
Well, the Sky Sports pundit believes Mikel Arteta’s side will lift the Premier League title this season.
Neville simply wrote “Arsenal” in response to a question from a fan.
The Manchester United legend clearly thinks Manchester City have lost a cutting edge this season, as he remained consistent in his belief that Pep Guardiola’s side would win the Premier League last term, even when Arsenal were eight points clear.
Manchester City have lost the experience of Ilkay Gundogan – which could be a reason for Neville’s belief that Arsenal will win the Premier League.
Arsenal have also got stronger in the meantime, splashing £105m on Declan Rice to bolster the spine of Arteta’s side.
Manchester City are still favourites for the Premier League
While we expect Arsenal to run Manchester City close again this season, we can’t see anyone other than Guardiola’s men winning the Premier League.
Experience is incredibly important in a title race – it is often won inside the mind rather than anything these players do with their feet.
Just look at Arsenal when the Gunners were eight points clear last season. The way Arteta’s side performed changed drastically when the finish line was in sight, playing within themselves as sloppy mistakes plagued a very young team.
While Guardiola has lost Gundogan – as well as Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte – the Spaniard still boasts a solid core of experience in the likes of Ederson, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland, all of whom have been there and done it.
Hopefully, Manchester City can retain the Premier League title this season.
