Gary Neville believes Arsenal will have to win at the Etihad to seal league title

As Arsenal prepares to play Tottenham in the north London derby, they must put an end to their premature episode of championship race worry. Michael Carrick is going to Everton to strengthen his campaign to become Manchester United’s permanent manager, while Manchester City can put pressure on the Gunners with a victory over Newcastle.

Before the action this weekend, AFP Sport examines three talking points. Defiant striker Bukayo Saka of Arsenal is certain that his team will “get over the line” and break their trophy drought in due time. After consecutive draws against Brentford and Wolves left Mikel Arteta’s team with only two victories in their past seven league games, they are at risk of squandering a commanding lead in the championship chase.

The Gunners wasted the advantage in both games, but Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with bottom-place Wolves was particularly frustrating since they let up a stoppage-time equalizer after leading 2-0. Pep Guardiola’s squad has a game in hand and will play the leaders in April, but Arsenal is five points ahead of second-place Manchester City.

Arsenal aim to banish title jitters

He stated on The Gary Neville Podcast, “I have believed for a number of years, when Arsenal has been vying for this title, that they are going to have to go and win at the Etihad.” “Go and win is what I’ve just believed for a number of years. There is no other viable option.

“The Overmars goal in 1998 and the Wiltord goal in 2002 are the two moments that always come to mind when Arsenal came and won titles.” The objectives that continue to chill me. They don’t simply silence a ground; they silence a city, which is why they make you shudder.

“However, it rocks you the other way if City goes and beats you up, like they did two or three years ago.” Neville has risked everything by predicting that Arsenal would defeat City on April 18 and win the Premier League.
