Manchester United legend, Gary Neville says Arsenal are the only team who will contend Man City in the Premier League title race this season following Liverpool’s draw with Man Utd at Anfield.
The Gunners returned to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win over Brighton at the Emirates Stadium, earning high praise from opposition manager Roberto De Zerbi who labelled them the ‘best team’ in the top flight.
They kept their nerve as two of their title rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool, were both held to disappointing home draws by Crystal Palace and Manchester United respectively – the latter dropping points at Anfield for the first time this season.
Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, Neville defended City’s drop in form – having now won only one of their last six Premier League games – given their incredible consistency in recent years, but said Arsenal’s squad put them in a better position to wrestle their crown come the end of the season.
“This is un-City like, it’s un-Pep like,” he said. “It’s not what we see from his teams. They’ve dropped points in five out of the last six games; they’ve had some real difficult moments, dropped points you’d never expect them to drop.
