Gary Neville is confident Arsenal will win the Premier League (Picture: Getty) Gary Neville has ruled Manchester City out of the title race and believes Liverpool are the ‘only’ team capable of denying Arsenal the Premier League trophy. Arsenal’s serene progress in the Premier League this season continued on Saturday as Mikel Arteta’s side beat Burnley 2-0.

Arsenal continued their winning run against Burnley (Picture: Getty) ‘Look, Arsenal can lose the title from here,’ ex-England defender Neville, who won the Premier League eight times at Manchester United, told NBC Sports. ‘I understand why Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal players and even the fans will play down the idea that they have to win it this season. ‘But they’re the most consistent team and they’ve been building up to this now for three or four seasons. I thought they should have been there last season when Liverpool won it because I thought if Man City dropped off, Arsenal had to be the team to do it. ‘There won’t be many people making excuses for Arsenal this season and that’s not me applying pressure to Arsenal, I just think they’re the best team in the league and they’ve got the right squad. ‘It’s only November so it’s crazy to suggest you should win the league from here – but they should and if you’re not Mikel Arteta or an Arsenal player you can say that quite confidently.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola (Picture: Getty) ‘The reason I say I’m confident Arsenal will win the league is because you always think about what can stop a team. Arsenal would have to beat themselves not to win it. ‘I don’t think Man City are going to get back to a level they they’ve been at previously and come back at Arsenal.
