Gary Neville explains why Arsenal won't win the Premier League

Gary Neville insists that Manchester City will win the Premier League title for a third season in a row despite Arsenal opening up an eight-point gap at the top of the table.

The Gunners took advantage of City's loss in the Manchester derby on Saturday by downing bitter rivals Spurs in a comfortable 2-0 win.

An own goal from Hugo Lloris and strike from Martin Odegaard separated the two sides on paper, but Arsenal were a cut above Antonio Conte's side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Arsenal now boast 15 wins from the 18 Premier League games they've played this season, with their only defeat coming in a 3-1 loss against Manchester United in September.

Though they've bounced back from that defeat to take 32 points from a possible 36, Neville told Sky Sports after the game of his belief that Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will overhaul the Gunners and go on one of their famous winning runs.

"If Erling Haaland starts to kick on, if City start to purr, if the defence starts to shore up a bit more than it has done, and they need Ruben Dias back if they can, I think City will win it.
