Gary Neville backs Arsenal for Premier League glory, boldly claiming Mikel Arteta’s side are now favourites to lift the trophy. Speaking after Arsenal’s 2–0 win over Burnley, the Sky Sports pundit praised their defensive strength and consistency, insisting only Liverpool have the quality to challenge the Gunners for the title.

Neville believes Arsenal’s balance and squad depth set them apart this season. “They’re the short favourites now,” he told NBC Sports. “They’ve built the consistency needed to finally bring the Premier League trophy back to the Emirates.”

Liverpool the Only Remaining Challenge

Neville also dismissed Manchester City’s title chances, suggesting Pep Guardiola’s side “don’t have the same sharpness.” Instead, he pointed to Liverpool under Arne Slot as the sole team capable of stopping Arsenal. “If anyone can deny Arsenal, it’s Liverpool,” Neville noted, praising the Reds’ intensity and attacking threat.

Neville’s prediction signals a potential power shift in the Premier League. Arsenal lead the table with conviction, and if they maintain this form, they could end a 21-year wait for the title. However, Liverpool’s form keeps the race alive, setting up a thrilling run-in that could define the 2025-26 season.
