Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville remains confident in his pre-season prediction that Arsenal will win the Premier League title, despite recent setbacks.
Speaking after United’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday, Neville reaffirmed his belief in Arsenal.
Over the weekend, Arsenal lost 1-0 to Newcastle, and reigning champions Manchester City suffered their first defeat of the season against Bournemouth.
These results have put Liverpool at the top of the league, two points ahead of City and seven points clear of Arsenal, who have now dropped to fifth place.
In his words,
“I still have Arsenal winning the Premier League title.”
“I might look completely and utterly stupid. And there will be people playing this clip back to me in a few months saying what the hell were you talking about.”
“But I always think about what a team needs to win a title and sometimes you need a serious blip.”
“It’s been a poor start for Arsenal, but they could go on a run, get their players back and be very dangerous.”
