Gary Neville has ruled Manchester City out of the title race and believes Liverpool are the ‘only’ team capable of denying Arsenal the Premier League trophy. 

Arsenal’s serene progress in the Premier League this season continued on Saturday as Mikel Arteta’s side beat Burnley 2-0. 

First-half goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice earned the Gunners their ninth successive win in all competitions, while a remarkably tight defence kept a seventh clean sheet in a row. 

Arsenal are the short favourites to win their first Premier League title since 2004 and Neville fully expects the trophy to be heading to the Emirates Stadium. 

Neville is in fact ‘confident’ that Arteta will finally get his hands on the trophy and has questioned where Arsenal’s biggest challenge will come from.
