Gary Neville believes there are THREE serious contenders for the Premier League<\/a> title, with Arsenal<\/a> his favourites. The Gunners currently lead the standings with a four-point advantage over nearest challengers Manchester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pep Guardiola<\/a>\u2019s side sent an emphatic warning to the Gunners on Sunday as they swatted aside reigning champions Liverpool 3-0 at the Etihad.<\/a> And that win has led Neville to believe that City will be right among the front-runners for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n Speaking on the Gary Neville<\/a> podcast, the United icon said: \u201cI thought today was about which of these two clubs was going to emerge as Arsenal\u2019s nearest challengers and could they send a message to the Gunners?<\/p>\n \u201cPep Guardiola, in his 1000th game as a manager, his team and his staff, have done that. It\u2019s a really good day for Guardiola and Man City, but it\u2019s a difficult day for Arne Slot<\/a> and Liverpool<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n And while Liverpool now sit eighth and already eight points off the pace, Neville believes Sunday\u2019s defeat at the Etihad was not terminal for the Reds\u2019 hopes of retaining the trophy. Asked if Arne Slot\u2019s side could still win the title, Neville replied: \u201cI\u2019m going to say yes.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Gary Neville issues three-word verdict on Florian Wirtz amid ‘crazy’ Liverpool claim<\/a>READ MORE: Gary Neville slams referee as Liverpool goal controversially ruled out – “I’m not sure”<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIf it clicked something could happen. They\u2019ve got firecrackers and world-class players in that dressing room.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s big characters too, Van Dijk, Alisson and Salah are huge characters. They\u2019re Premier League greats so if they can pull it together with the manager who had a great first season and get something going with the younger players, maybe they can still do something.<\/p>\n \u201cBut today was a worry because it was a really, really poor performance. They need to have a good look at themselves and they\u2019ll know they\u2019re nowhere near it at this moment in time.\u201d<\/p>\n Arsenal allowed their advantage to be worn away over the weekend after letting victory slip through their fingers late on against Sunderland.<\/a> But Neville believes that the draw at the Stadium of Light is not as big of a setback as first thought.<\/p>\n Who are your favourites for the title? Share your thoughts in the comments below<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI wasn\u2019t sat there thinking it was a huge blow for Arsenal,\u201d he added. \u201cI actually thought it was a game that might catch them out a bit.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a marathon, not a sprint, and there\u2019s going to bumps along the road. It\u2019s normal to drop some points in the Premier League so I wouldn\u2019t be screaming or shouting if I was an Arsenal player.<\/p>\n \u201cConceding a late goal gives you a sickening feeling but they just need to get back to winning ways again after the international break.\u201d<\/p>\n Join our new WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
