Manchester City will not win the Premier League this season, Gary Neville said after visiting Sky this week.
Manchester City's Premier League title this season may not be easy. That's what Manchester United legend Gary Neville predicted in a recent interview. Neville believes Arsenal have a chance to win the title.
After the first round, Manchester United legend Neville joined Carragher and Karen Carney in making predictions for the new season, and according to the former Valencia boss, Arsenal will come out on top and claim the long-coveted title.
When Carragher and Carney thought Pep Guardiola's Manchester City would win a fourth consecutive title, Neville voiced his prediction, saying: "Look, I'll put my hopes on another team. “
He added: "After winning the treble, Manchester City didn't have the slightest (overwhelming) sign against Burnley ... [and] when you play in the Super Cup and the World Club Championship, the difficulties and challenges of this season can bring some confusion because they don't have the strongest squad. ”
'Just last year, I said that if Haaland missed an average of 10 or 15 chances like he did at Dortmund over the last two seasons, then I think it would be enough to give Arsenal a real chance.
"Even though they just lost Timberel, it was a big blow. But [Kay] Kai Havertz and Rice are very good signings and with their help I think Arsenal have improved a lot. “
Football fans have also expressed their views on Neville's predictions, all believing that Neville's views can only represent personal views. After all, at the beginning of the season, it was not yet easy to make up its mind.
Carney and Carragher both chose Manchester City to be champions, former English women's footballers chose Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United finished in the top four, Chelsea fifth and Newcastle sixth; Liverpool idol Carragher chose Manchester City, followed by Arsenal, Manchester United, then his Liverpool, with Chelsea and Newcastle also in fifth and sixth.
Neville's prediction was for Arsenal to win the title, followed by Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool, with Chelsea in fifth place and, despite a 5-1 defeat to Newcastle, Neville still thought Aston Villa would be sixth.
Neville said: "I made the prediction last week, but I was stubborn enough to accept it. I think Newcastle can do well in the Champions League and they will catch some teams off guard. “
In terms of relegation, all three opted for Luton Town and Sheffield United, Carney and Carragher opted for Burnley, while Neville's other option was Bournemouth.
Carney said: "I like what Vincent Kompany has done, the transformation of that team in 12 months has been really great. But if he doesn't change his philosophy, as we saw against Manchester City, other teams will let them know how hard the Premier League game is and how to get out of it, I think Kompany still needs to change his football philosophy. ”
The trio also picked their predicted top scorer, with Carney picking Salah and Carragher and Neville still picking him after Haaland's record-breaking season.
Carney chose Onana as an impact signing this season, Carragher chose Madison and Neville chose Rice.
