Gary Neville has once again altered his prediction regarding Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title following their 6-0 victory over West Ham.
Initially supporting Mikel Arteta's team for success at the season's outset, Neville later expressed doubts, citing their perceived lack of a 'killer instinct' compared to rivals like Liverpool.
However, after the Gunners' impressive win, the pundit shifted his stance, noting their improved form and suggesting that being in a more competitive position might benefit them. He emphasized the importance of staying focused and keeping key players fit, particularly highlighting the potential of Arsenal's attacking players to make a significant impact if they start scoring consistently.
Neville also addressed criticisms of Arsenal's celebrations, arguing that excessive excitement can drain energy over time, but highlighting their improved squad with players like Declan Rice and William Saliba.
Despite acknowledging the formidable competition posed by managers like Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, Neville suggested that Arteta's Arsenal still have a chance to contend for the title, albeit facing significant challenges.
"They’ve not produced their best form to this point but they have in the last couple of weeks started to look like they will hit the same form as last season that put them into a position of winning the league," the pundit said, via Metro UK.
"They need to stay focused, calm and keep their players fit. They’re good in a lot of areas. If their front players, who are really exciting, can start to score the goals they were not at the start of the season, they have a real chance."
