Gary Neville issues Premier League title prediction after Arsenal draw

Gary Neville remains convinced that Manchester City will win the Premier League title after seeing Arsenal's winning run end at Liverpool.

The Gunners flew into a two-goal lead at Anfield on Sunday and looked on course to coast to a first win at the ground in 11 years, only to be pegged back and come the full-time whistle were lucky to escape with a point.

Arsenal remain five points clear of City, but have played one game more and have to visit the Etihad Stadium later this month.

Neville has stood by his initial prediction of City winning the title, much to the annoyance and dismay of some confident Arsenal fans, and expects the Gunners to drop more points this season.

"This game was absolutely wonderful and we’ve got six more weeks left of this [title race]," Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast.

"I have thought all the way through that Man City would just edge it. I haven’t changed my opinion after today or even altered it slightly because I still think there will be points dropped from each side, but I think Arsenal will drop more points.

"Mikel Arteta will be proud of his players tonight. I would be proud of them. But he will also know they’ve got a hell of a period coming up.

"They go to Man City, Newcastle, West Ham, they’re all difficult games. City have got some difficult ones too and there will be a lot more moments where Arsenal feel like the whole world is watching them.

"The whole football world was watching them today and they weren’t disappointed. They made a few mistakes but all in all Arsenal fans should be pretty happy and proud with that. This is not a time to lose doubt, you can lose or draw here in any season. This is a terror of a game to have in a title run-in."
