Premier League Legend Gary Neville Reveals Concern That Could Affect Arsenal’s Title Bid

• Arsenal are currently the outright Premier League title favourites after a fine run of form
• However, Gary Neville contends there is one limiting factor that could limit their title chances
• The Gunners currently have a two-point advantage at the top of the charts with a game in hand

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has raised concerns about Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title.

Despite a number of pundits rating the Gunners as title favourites this season, Neville has often cast doubts on the north Londoners ending their 19-year wait for the crown.

Mikel Arteta's charges have enjoyed an impressive run of form this term, with the side losing just three of their last 23 Premier League outings.

Metro UK reports Arsenal endured a mini-crisis sometime this month which culminated in a 3-1 humbling defeat against title rivals Manchester City.

The defeat saw them lose the top spot momentarily to City before regaining control over the weekend after Pep Guardiola's men dropped points against Nottingham Forest.

Neville's Arsenal concerns

Be that as it may, Neville believes Arsenal will find it difficult to win their first Premier League crown in almost two decades should their defensive issues continue for the remainder of the season.

According to the former defender, the north Londoners title challenge could falter if they fail to shore up the defence.

"One thing I would say though is that Arsenal have conceded 12 goals in the last six games. One of the traits of a run-in is if you’re conceding goals and teams think they have a chance of scoring, it’s very difficult to win a league, it really is," he told Sky Sports Podcast.

"Conceding goals is something they just need to watch out for because that will make things very difficult for them," he added.

Vieira rates Arsenal EPL chances

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Crystal Palace boss, Patrick Vieira has shared his thoughts on this season's Premier League title race.

Despite the unpredictability of the Premier League title race, Vieira contends Arsenal are on course to secure the title this season.

However, the Palace manager was quick to admit that City are likely to push the north Londoners all the way to the final day of the season.
