Gary Neville Picks Arsenal Over Manchester City As 2023/24 Premier League Champions

• Gary Neville has picked Arsenal as his Premier League champions for this season
• The former Manchester United star was consistent in saying the Gunners won't win last season
• Mikel Arteta's men are currently third after a 2-2 draw with rivals Chelsea in the London derby

Gary Neville appears to have seen some light in Arsenal this season and has picked them as his 2023/24 Premier League champions ahead of Manchester City.

The Gunners were runners-up last season despite topping the league table until week 36 when a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest and City's 1-0 win over Chelsea ended their title aspirations.

Despite Arsenal's impressive run at the top of the table, Neville was consistent in saying they wouldn't win it last season despite having an eight-point advantage at some point.

When the elephant finally fell off the tree, he was there to say, "I said it", much to the annoyance of the fans, but he didn't mind as he was proven right.

Neville picks Arsenal as PL winner

The former Manchester United player, during a Q&A session on social media, was asked whom he is picking as the league winner this year, and he responded that Arsenal.

The North Londoners, per Football Transfers, have bolstered the team with the arrivals of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and David Raya, all of whom cost a combined €231 million.

Arteta's team are currently joint second with City on 21 points, while Tottenham Hotspur are surprisingly top of the table with 23 points despite losing Harry Kane in the summer.

The Carrington graduate also spared some answers for the Red Devils, claiming the highest his former team can go in the league this season is finishing sixth, three places down from their positions last season.
