Gary Neville believes Arsenal will not win the Premier League this season despite their eight-point lead at the top of the table and even thinks Manchester United will finish the season above them.
Arsenal 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!
It came a day after Pep Guardiola’s side fell to a 2-1 defeat at Manchester United to continue their patchy form. The Red Devils are just a point behind their local rivals in the standings, with Newcastle in-between them, so a four-way title battle is a real possibility this season.
At some point, there will be a very difficult period for Arsenal this season. Is it conceivable that Arsenal are going to continue as they are? I don't think it is. Could they draw two and lose one in a three-game period, and if they did that, their lead is gone, and the pack is up with them? That's what I think is going to happen, we'll see a traditional Premier League season where a team goes out, the pacemaker, and then they'll get drawn back in a little bit. But I still think that this season is going to be far better for Arsenal than I ever imagined it would be.
