Why Arsenal are still favourites to title ahead of Man City

Former Manchester United star, Gary Neville in a recent statement revealed Arsenal can still win the Premier League title this season ahead of current champions Man City.

Neville believes the Citizens’ defeat over the weekend will ‘encourage’ Arsenal on the chances of winning a title this season.

Recall that Man City suffered a shock 2-1 defeat against the Wolves on Saturday, which comes after they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Newcastle United.

On the other hand, Arsenal won 4-0 against Bournemouth and are just a point behind leaders Man City after seven matches this season.

“I have got Arsenal to win the league this year,” Neville told his podcast.

“That post-treble feeling, what it would have taken out of those City players and staff would have been enormous.

“They could easily win the league this season and obviously it is just one game, but little results like that give the other teams encouragement.

“We know City have lost games in the past and gone on long winning runs so we can’t write them off but it will give a lot of encouragement to Arsenal.

“Against Newcastle, it was a serious team that Pep Guardiola took up there and at Wolves, they’re conceding a goal or two, they’re going behind in games and they look human.

“It will be interesting. If Arsenal keep their players fit, they’ve got a great chance this season.”
