Manchester United legend-turned-pundit Gary Neville has predicted where Arsenal will finish in the current Premier League season.
The Gunners had a fantastic 2022/23 campaign in the English top-flight. They were top of the standings for eight months, but lost momentum in the closing stages as Manchester City leapfrogged them.
The club have made another impressive start this term with 21 points from nine games. They are currently two points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur and Neville feels they can go all the way to lift the title.
In a Q&A session on Twitter today, Neville was asked ‘who will win the league’ and he responded with ‘Arsenal‘ which will have surely surprised some of the neutral as well as United supporters.
Arsenal have not been playing at their best in the Premier League this season, but they have still been picking up valuable points. They are currently one of two teams who are unbeaten in the league.
The Gunners look good value to remain in the title race once more, but the big question is whether they can find the consistency during the back end of the campaign when the pressure is on them.
The club were guilty of losing points from winning situations. They also dropped points against clubs in and around the relegation zone. They drew their games against 20th-placed Southampton.
Arsenal need to avoid such instances this season if they want to challenge City for the title. This weekend, they host 20th-placed Sheffield United and nothing less than a victory would be acceptable.
