I Still Say Arsenal Will Be Champions This Season

Gary Neville, the former Manchester United defender, has stated that Arsenal still holds the best chance of winning the Premier League this season. Despite Arsenal's recent underwhelming performances and a six-point gap from the top of the table, Neville believes Mikel Arteta's team is the strongest contender.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Neville remarked, "In my opinion, Arsenal is still the top contender for the championship this season. I think they will soon return to their winning ways. Arsenal's fixture schedule over the Christmas period is relatively easier than their competitors, which could allow them to close the points gap and regain momentum in the new year. I believe Arsenal will finish the season as champions."

Discussing other top-four predictions, Neville added, "Realistically, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest have no chance. I think Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City will occupy second to fourth positions behind Arsenal. To be honest, this is the first time in 15 years I am not predicting Manchester United to be in the top four."
