Sky Sports pundit, Gary Neville, has said Arsenal will not win the Premier League this season.
On Sunday, the Gunners opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the table.
Mikel Arteta’s men moved further clear at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win over Tottenham in a pulsating North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The result left Arsenal eight points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City, with Newcastle and Man Utd a further point back.
When asked if Arsenal will win the Premier League, Neville said on his podcast: “No. But I said Leicester wouldn’t win the league. They won’t win the league. Manchester City will win the league, and I think Man Utd will finish second, and I know that will annoy Arsenal fans!
“I’d rather Arsenal win the league than Man City. I think it would be absolutely sensational for the Premier League.
“I think about watching the Premier League, we’ve seen City sweep up, apart from Liverpool, over the past five years. To think Arsenal could come and win it, it adds to our league, it makes our league great.
“I’d love Man Utd to win it, but I don’t think that’s going to happen this season.
“The reality of it is, I think at some point Man City will hit a run. Once they do, they’ve got to play Arsenal twice. With City, is Erling Haaland not getting the service, or does he need to do more? I’ll ask that question.
“Does he need to do more, or does he need to be patient?
“If Erling Haaland starts to kick on, if City start to purr, if the defence starts to shore up a bit more than it has done, and they need Ruben Dias back if they can, I think City will win it.
