Gary Neville expects Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season after observing the team successfully adapt to a chaotic, high-intensity match against Chelsea. Although the north London contest began with a frantic pace that differed from Arsenal’s typical controlled style, the hosts overcame a one-nil deficit to secure the victory. Neville noted that the result highlights the squad's maturity and defensive organization, which he views as the primary catalyst for their championship prospects. While he praised the defensive foundation established by Mikel Arteta, he acknowledged that the team lacks a lethal counter-attacking threat. He suggested the addition of an elite, fast-finishing forward would finalize the side's development. Despite this identified gap, Neville believes the current group possesses the requisite mentality to maintain their standing throughout the campaign.
