Gary Neville believes the Premier League title is Arsenal’s to lose, praising their consistency and defensive solidity under Mikel Arteta.
Gary Neville thinks Arsenal’s consistency and defensive solidity make them strong title contenders. The Gunners have opened up a four-point gap at the top, and Neville believes they have the formula to win the league.
Arsenal’s unbeaten run since August is impressive, and they’ve registered four consecutive victories. Neville praises Mikel Arteta’s team for their reliability, saying, “Arsenal are reliable, you can trust them. They don’t concede goals.”
The Gunners’ defense has been a key factor, with only three goals conceded in nine games. Tottenham, Sunderland, and Manchester City are their closest competitors in that regard, having all shipped seven goals.
Neville believes Arsenal’s consistency will be enough to secure the title. “High 80s will win the title – they can do that,” he said. Jamie Carragher also praised Arsenal’s defender Gabriel, calling him the “most influential player” in the league.
Arsenal’s next challenge is to maintain their momentum and keep their title hopes alive. Neville thinks they have the chance to get back on top, saying, “This is the moment Arsenal can get back on top. The chance is there for them; they have to take it.”
With Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea all losing, Arsenal’s closest challengers are currently Bournemouth. Neville believes Arsenal’s title chances are real, saying, “I’ve had Arsenal to win the league the last three years – now four.”
