Gary Neville is still adamant that Arsenal will clinch the Premier League trophy this season despite their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

The Gunners have finished as top-flight runners up for the last three seasons in a row and haven’t been champions of England since 2004.

Neville tipped Arsenal for the title at the start of the campaign and is not changing his stance despite the narrow loss to Liverpool at Anfield.

Liverpool landed the Premier League trophy last term, finishing 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal in the 2024-25 campaign.

This term, Liverpool sit top of the table on nine points with Arne Slot’s side the only team to win all three of their opening top-flight matches.

‘There’s an element of belief I have that I think, ‘Go on Declan Rice, you can be that player that runs through’ – or ‘Martin Odegaard, you can be the player that scores in this game’.

‘Noni Madueke, I thought he had a good game today. I thought Eberechi Eze looked sharp when he came on.

‘So there is the talent there to think they can go and do it. But they’ve got to go and do it. It’s thinking it, it’s saying it, it’s doing it.’

Speaking earlier this month on Sky Sports about his Premier League title prediction, Neville said: ‘I have gone with the team I have gone with for the past three years.
