Gary Neville has given two reasons for Arsenal to hold onto over their chances of winning the Premier League after Liverpool’s win against Manchester City.
Arne Slot’s side claimed a 2-0 win over City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon, extending their lead at the top of the table by 11 points. Goals from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai sealed the victory for the Reds, who have played one game more than Arsenal.
Neville, who was on Sky Sports’ coverage during Liverpool’s win, was asked about what could potentially stop the Reds from winning the league title. “Complacency and injuries, I think, are the two things [that could stop Liverpool]. I can’t see complacency – they’ve got a lot of experience, they’ve looked completely in control,” Neville explained.
Neville then suggested other reasons which could offer Arsenal encouragement and harm Liverpool in the title race. “I’ve seen here in the last two years when Arsenal came here late on in the season, you’ve got to go and win games like this and they never did,” Neville added.
“It just tells you something that they’re not quite ready. What Liverpool have done today is really important. Psychologically, it helps you get over the line – not that it sends you 11 points clear but in your mindset you feel unbreakable. There’s still two or three months to go, the Champions League, Carabao Cup finals and plenty of league games so there’s a job to do still, but they’ll be almost impossible to stop from this point in.”
