Gary Neville hints he could change mind on Man City and Arsenal Premier League title race prediction
02.04.2023 - 16:57 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes the Premier League title race could hinge on the outcome of Arsenal's trip to Anfield to face Liverpool next weekend.
Just over two hours after Manchester City moved to within five points of the top of the Premier League table on Saturday afternoon, Arsenal reclaimed their eight-point advantage at the summit with a comfortable 4-1 triumph at home to Leeds United.

However, in the event of City beating Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday evening, Arsenal will have to beat Liverpool to reclaim their eight-point lead next Sunday afternoon. Although the Merseysiders are experiencing a below-par campaign, they have already beaten both City and United at Anfield this season, highlighting the sheer size of the task awaiting Mikel Arteta's men.

"I still think City are going to do it because I think that they'll have that little bit more experience," Neville told Sky Sports. "Look, I think it's 50:50, it wasn't that I was certain six or eight weeks ago that City were going to win win the league, I absolutely thought by now Arsenal would have dropped lots of points and they wouldn't be where they are, but now I think it's 50:50.
