Gary Neville updates Premier League title prediction after Man City close gap on Arsenal | OneFootball

Gunners have dropped seven points across their last five games

City were at their clinical best during Sunday's 3-0 win away at Crystal Palace, to win their fourth Premier League game on the spin.

Pep Guardiola's side were in London the day after watching Arsenal scrape past bottom-of-the-table Wolves 2-1 thanks to two own goals, with the winner coming in the final minute of second-half injury time.

The Gunners were viewed by many as cruising to the Premier League title, but have dropped seven points in their last five games, with the 94th-minute winner against Wolves preventing City from leapfrogging them over the weekend.

And Neville believes the eight-time Premier League winners will be "smelling blood" after seeing Arsenal falter.

Man City are smelling blood ... they've got that manager who is a prolific winner and a striker who is absolutely world class

"Manchester City have got [Erling] Haaland, Pep, a few more players who have got real quality and experience," Neville told Sky Sports.

"They’re probably smelling a little bit of blood; 'We’re on your shoulder, we’re coming, we’re going to be there in March, April – can you handle this?'.

"I think [Arsenal] are a better team than City and proved that in the first few months. But City are dangerous. They’ve got that manager who is a prolific winner, a striker who is absolutely world class – the player in the league that’s absolutely standout, a dream, what a player!

"They’ve got really dangerous characteristics, talent, potential to cause upsets."

He added: "I still think [the title] is Arsenal’s [to lose].

"Arsenal have got to get themselves mentally right for the next four or five months, such a huge moment for the club – and I still think they’ll do it."
