Gary Neville: Man City will challenge Arsenal for EPL title after United loss

Manchester City edged Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday, sealing a vital Premier League win. Legend Gary Neville, speaking on Sky Sports, said City is the only side capable of challenging Arsenal for the title this season—provided they avoid injuries. He pointed out that City’s summer signings have markedly improved the squad, and the victory was significant for new coach Enzo Maresca in building a big‑game mentality.

After four matches, Arsenal and City sit level on 12 points, with the Gunners ahead on goal difference. Neville added that while he still believes Arsenal are the stronger team, City’s depth makes them a genuine threat if they stay fit.

The result leaves Manchester United still searching for consistency, as their home defeat raises questions about their title credentials.

If City maintains fitness, will they push Arsenal all the way to the final matchday, or will Arteta’s side retain their edge? Fans should watch the next clash between the two sides in January to see whether the prediction holds.
