Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has thrown his weight behind Arsenal to win the Premier League title, citing their consistency as the key factor. After a fourth consecutive victory, the Gunners have opened up a four-point lead at the top of the table, with their closest challengers struggling to keep pace.
Neville, speaking on his podcast, expressed his confidence in Mikel Arteta's side, stating that they have the formula to succeed. "This has got to be their year," Neville said. "They aren't miles better than last year, but are repeating levels of consistency and that's all they are going to have to do this year to win the league."
Arsenal's defensive solidity has been a hallmark of their success this season, with just three goals conceded in nine games and six clean sheets. Neville praised the team's reliability, saying, "Arsenal are reliable, you can trust them. They don't concede goals."
Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher has heaped praise on Arsenal defender Gabriel, naming him the Premier League's "most influential player." Carragher highlighted Gabriel's authority in both boxes, particularly in set-pieces, as a crucial element of Arsenal's success. "Gabriel is the leader. He's a colossus at the back and the best set-piece threat," Carragher said on Sky Sports' Extra Time show.
If Arsenal are to win the Premier League, Carragher believes Gabriel will be a strong contender for the PFA Player of the Year award. The Gunners' summer signing, Eberechi Eze, has also made a significant impact, providing an X-factor that has helped tip the scales in Arsenal's favor.
As the Premier League season continues, Arsenal will look to maintain their consistency and defensive solidity to keep their title hopes alive. With Neville and Carragher backing their chances, the Gunners will be confident in their pursuit of the top prize.
