Gary Neville has made his prediction about where Manchester City will finish in the Premier League table.
Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, the renowned pundit had his say as the 2023/2024 season kicks off on Friday, with Pep Guardiola’s men set to face Vincent Kompany’s Burnley.
Quizzed about his prediction with regards to the top six and beyond, Gary Neville made an interesting call about Manchester City.
Gary Neville makes shock prediction about where Manchester City will finish ahead of Premier League season
The general consensus seems to be that City will become the first team in Premier League history to win four titles in a row.
In fact, Scott Minto said that due to the Pep Guardiola factor, the Sky Blues will once again triumph domestically at the end of next season.
However, Gary Neville has made a prediction about Manchester City finally surrendering their reign, and finishing second in the table.
“Just because of the three thing and never winning a fourth, I am going to go Arsenal to win the league, City second. I think Arsenal can beat them.”
“I think Arsenal, City, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa. Newcastle and Tottenham. I think Newcastle and Tottenham, I think Newcastle Champions League and Tottenham, I’m not quite sure what is going on there.”
Doubt Manchester City & Pep Guardiola at your own peril
Gary Neville is certainly a brave man to question this Manchester City side and Pep Guardiola, especially when it comes to league football in his latest prediction.
Even last season, despite Arsenal operating at staggering levels, the Sky Blues’ clutch nature during the business end of the campaign coupled with Guardiola’s tactical genius was a lesson in never questioning this side.
Time and again, the Catalan’s Manchester City side surpass expectations and prove that they may well be the greatest Premier League team of all time.
And yet, they still have their fair share of doubters, who are often made to regret their question marks over them.
