Former Manchester United defender and renowned football pundit Gary Neville has identified Arsenal as the clear favorites to win the 2025/26 Premier League title. Speaking after Arsenal’s recent string of strong performances, Neville highlighted that the Gunners’ consistency and defensive solidity set them apart from their rivals.
Neville remarked that Arsenal’s formula under manager Mikel Arteta may not be flashy but is reliable, especially their defensive organization which has seen them concede just three goals in nine matches. He argued that unlike chasing an unrealistic 90 or 100 points, Arsenal could secure the title with a points tally in the high 80s—a figure that reflects their steady, grinding approach.
Though Liverpool and Manchester City remain strong contenders, Neville conveyed a confident message that Arsenal have the psychological edge, describing the current season as “their year” to finally clinch the league after multiple near misses in recent campaigns.
He urged the players to maintain this consistency and trust in the process, warning that the title is there for the taking but can easily slip away if they lose focus. Fans and analysts have welcomed Neville’s assessment, which adds to the excitement of what promises to be a tight title race.
