A former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has predicted that Arsenal football club will win the 2024/2025 English Premier League title.
In a statement obtained from the latest episode of The Overlap US’ It’s Called Soccer on Thursday, Neville was quoted as saying, “I’m going to go with Arsenal [to win the title] on the basis that I think they’ll hit their form.
“They’ve got a decent run of fixtures over Christmas. I think they’ll get within a couple of points, a few points, and I think they will hit their form in the new year, and I do think they will win the league this season.
“Top four… I’ve not got full faith in Tottenham, Aston Villa, and, to be fair, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, and all the other teams that are in and around it.”
He, however, removed his former club from his initial top four prediction for this Premier League season.
“They’ve got a decent run of fixtures over Christmas. I think they’ll get within a couple of points, a few points, and I think they will hit their form in the new year, and I do think they will win the league this season.
The Red Devils are currently in 13th place on the table after 16 games.
United’s rivals Liverpool are top, two points clear of Chelsea and have a game in hand.
Last year’s runners-up, Arsenal, and Nottingham Forest, sit third and fourth respectively, while Manchester City are fifth.
Recall that in August, Neville predicted that Arsenal would end their 21-year wait for the title and backed Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea to make up the rest of the top four – in that order.
