Gary Neville makes new Premier League title prediction after Arsenal drop more points | OneFootball

Gunners have seen their lead at the top of the table cut down after three games without a win

Gary Neville has predicted that Manchester City “will be ready to prey” as Arsenal continue to stutter in the Premier League title race.

There was a fresh twist to the title race on Sunday as Mikel Arteta’s side were beaten by Manchester United, their first loss at home across any competition all season.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s side got back on track against Wolves on Saturday with their first league win of 2026 and Neville believes City will be getting excited at Arsenal’s form.

"Just a bit,” Neville said on Sky Sports. "If you are Mikel Arteta, I was wondering what you do in the morning to reset.

"If you are Pep Guardiola… our manager back in the day, he would go for us. So if Pep Guardiola goes in tomorrow morning, he will be saying, 'Are you really going to let these off the hook? They were nervous, they were anxious'.

"I think he really must be saying to them, 'Do you want this? Because it's there if you want it because they are struggling'.

"You would prey on it a bit. I know Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta get on and they worked together. But if I were City, I would have been lost last week, but to see this today, their chests will be out.

“They will be thinking they are back in this.

"Four points. Let's get them into March and April, let's get on their shoulder, let's see what they are about. And that is what I would be saying if I were Pep Guardiola. I am sure it is what he will be saying to his players.

“Hang on the shoulder of this team and let's see what they are about."
