Gary Neville, a former Manchester United star, remains resolute in his belief that Arsenal can clinch the Premier League title, despite their recent setbacks. The Gunners, who were leading the table at Christmas, have slipped to fourth place, trailing the leaders Liverpool by five points.
In the midst of Arsenal’s struggle to find the net, with Bukayo Saka being their top scorer in the Premier League with six goals, Neville is unwavering in his prediction. He emphasized, “I’m not going to change my prediction, you can’t flip flop halfway through a season. They’re not completely out of it.”
Acknowledging Arsenal’s recent defeats, Neville expressed disappointment, pointing out the missed opportunity for the club to strengthen their position in the league. However, he firmly believes in the potential for a comeback. He said, “They’ve had a difficult patch but they can come back, they still can win the league.”
Neville pinpointed the striking department as the key area of concern for Arsenal. With the team struggling to convert chances, he stressed the need for improvement in front of the goal, stating, “The issue is at the top end of the pitch where they have had a problem putting the ball in the back of the net at this moment in time.”
Despite the setbacks, Neville’s unwavering confidence in Arsenal’s title prospects adds an intriguing twist to the Premier League narrative, keeping the football world on the edge of their seats.
