Man City and Liverpool, who could be two of Arsenal’s biggest rivals for the title, were both in action on Sunday, with Enzo Maresca’s team coming from behind to beat Bournemouth and Andoni Iraola’s side scoring a last-minute equaliser at Newcastle United.

Arsenal brushed aside Coventry City (Picture: Getty) Neville cannot see Liverpool mounting a title challenge after their opening draw with Newcastle and says there are also ‘lots of questions’ over Man City in their first season without Pep Guardiola. Arsenal should win this league by a street. ‘We’ve seen Tottenham get beaten, Man United lose, Liverpool nearly lose, Man City scrambling for a win at home… ‘The unpredictable nature we thought we’d see at the top we have seen on this opening weekend.

It’s played out pretty much how I thought it would do.’ On Manchester City’s opening win over Bournemouth, Neville added: ‘They deserved to win the game if you look at some of the chances they missed. It was a bit of a surprise and didn’t look quite right. ‘It was really important for Man City and Enzo Maresca to get that win because there’s pressure on him there. ‘They deserved to win but it wasn’t plain-sailing, there’s still a lot of questions there.
