Neville revisited his pre-season predictions on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football and seems to have doubled down on optimism more than anything else.
“Liverpool are massive favorites and are in great form, but there is still a long way to go,” said the former England defender.
“weapons The last two years have been run of the mill, they’ve gone down to the wire, and sometimes when you win your first title, it’s not the most expected way and things can happen.”
Neville added: “Things are going against Arsenal at the moment, and they’re hanging in there, but they’re the only team that can take it away from Liverpool.
“I’m surprised Chelsea lost the last two games, but I never thought they would win the title this season.
“I think Arsenal have got the flexibility for them, they have a back four that can hold it together and get through games, and I think they will attack better in the later part of the season.
“I think they’ll hang in there, and if they can just get closer to the end, then maybe they can catch Liverpool. That’s what I’m hoping for!”
