Gary Neville thinks Arsenal will still edge Manchester City to the Premier League title but warned Gunners fans they face "10 weeks of pain" en route to their first title in 22 years.

Mikel Arteta's side restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Chelsea on Super Sunday after Man City had edged out Leeds 24 hours earlier.

Since a two-goal collapse at bottom side Wolves, the Gunners have now successfully navigated back-to-back London derbies to keep City at arm's length, though Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand which could reduce the deficit at the top to two points.

Neville praised Arsenal's response to that last-minute heartbreak at Molineux, and said their resilience would get them over the line in the title race in the final nine games of the season.

"They have quality, physical strength and experience of the last three years of losing it," he said. "They have to look back on the last three years. They know this is going to be hard work. They've got 10 more weeks of pain, these Arsenal fans watching in the crowd, watching at home sometimes when they're away.
