EPL: Manchester United legend, Neville, predicts Arsenal will win league

According to former Manchester United captain Gary Neville, Arsenal will win the English Premier League in 2024–2025.

“I’m going to go with Arsenal [to win the title] on the basis that I think they’ll hit their form,” Neville was quoted as saying in a comment taken from Thursday’s edition of The Overlap US’ It’s Called Football.

“They’ve got a decent run of fixtures over Christmas. I think they’ll get within a couple of points, a few points, and I think they will hit their form in the new year, and I do think they will win the league this season.

“Top four… I’ve not got full faith in Tottenham, Aston Villa, and, to be fair, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, and all the other teams that are in and around it.”

He, however, removed his former club from his initial top four prediction for this Premier League season.

“They’ve got a decent run of fixtures over Christmas. I think they’ll get within a couple of points, a few points, and I think they will hit their form in the new year, and I do think they will win the league this season.

The Red Devils are currently in 13th place on the table after 16 games.

United’s rivals Liverpool are top, two points clear of Chelsea and have a game in hand.

Last year’s runners-up, Arsenal, and Nottingham Forest, sit third and fourth respectively, while Manchester City are fifth.

Recall that in August, Neville predicted that Arsenal would end their 21-year wait for the title and backed Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea to make up the rest of the top four – in that order.
