Neville: In the Premier League title race, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are the chasers you least want to see

November 10 After the current round of the Premier League, Neville also commented on Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool on Sky Sports’ podcast.

"I think Manchester City's game against Liverpool will determine which team becomes the closest challenger to Arsenal and will send a message to the Gunners."

"In the 1,000th game of Guardiola's coaching career, he and his team Did it. It was a good day for Guardiola and Manchester City, but a difficult day for Slott and Liverpool."

" Guardiola gave Manchester City confidence before the international break, and they are now 4 points behind Arsenal. Rich championship experience and multiple championship players. Guardiola just wants to hold on to Arteta before March next year, because Guardiola is the pursuer you least want to see. "

"I thought Liverpool would be Arsenal's biggest challenger, and Manchester City seemed to be the biggest challenger. Not consistent enough, but now it looks like I couldn't have been more wrong. It's a great day for Guardiola and his City, and if they can keep up and close the gap, they will be a real threat at the end of the season with their title contention."

" Manchester City still have to prove they can win the title because Arsenal are the better team at the moment, but Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are the only teams and managers you don't want to see trailing behind in the final sprint."

When asked if Liverpool are still considered contenders. When asked about the title rivals, Neville replied: "I would say yes. If everything goes well, things may change at Liverpool. They have world-class players and big stars in the dressing room. Van Dijk, Alisson and Salah are all important figures and great players in the Premier League. If they can unite with the coach and stimulate the potential of the young players, maybe they can still make a difference."

"But their game against Manchester City today is worrying because their performance was very poor and they need to reflect on it. Are realizing they are not nearly good enough yet."

Arsenal would have been six points ahead during the November international break had Sunderland not equalized in stoppage time at the Stadium of Light, however Neville downplayed the significance of the draw.

"I don't think this is a huge blow to Arsenal, in fact, I think this is a game that may have caught them a little off guard. The Premier League is like a marathon, not a sprint, and it is normal to have ups and downs or drop points along the way, so if I were an Arsenal player, I wouldn't scream. Although conceding goals at the last moment will be frustrating, but they just need to regain the feeling of winning after the international break."
