Neville says Arsenal will stumble

However, Neville does not see Arsenal carting home the Premier League title at the end of the season.

According to the former England international, the Gunners' title push 'won't happen', and it would be a miracle if they maintain their current form.

Neville contends Man City are firm favourites to win the prestigious trophy and could conquer the English top flight by 10-15 points.

"The only thing Arsenal have proven in the last few years is that they crumble at the end of the season; until I see that they don't, I'll still have that doubt," the former defender said via the Daily Mail.
"Manchester City will win the Premier League by 10-15 points this season. I've seen It before when you've got a team that's so exceptional," he added.
